2nd generation DJI Magic Pro?

[PilotNumber1]

Looking at some of the problems that appeared and the delivery issues in getting most likely a drone mid or end of January I was wondering if there is any rumor of when and if there could be a next generation showing up possibly end of Q1 2017?

Any thought?

I may consider in not buying it because shortly after getting it a new one with possibly better camera could show up [emoji848][emoji849]

I don't know about a new generation this early, but we might see an aircraft named the "Mavic". DJI registered that name with the FCC when they registered "Mavic Pro".

From "Mavic Pro" to just "Mavic" would sound wired in my option.
"Pro+" or "Pro 2" would make more sense...

I hope that we hear soon something how the roadmap looks like for the Mavic or also the P4P.

DJI did the same thing with the P3. The P3S and P34K were released after the P3A and P3P.

there are also some rumors about Mavic Standard, but I guess we need to wait

What sort of problems do you mean? Other than the inevitable one-off problems here and there, I haven't noticed any common complaints from current Mavic owners, so I'm interested if you've heard otherwise. In fact, one of the things that has me excited about the Mavic is that as best I can tell there's not any indication of widespread / design flaw problems.

As far as whether or not you should wait for the next generation, there's always going to be something better over the horizon. For me personally, though, the Mavic's current compactness, speed, and range makes it compelling enough not to wait for a newer model, especially considering that the wait might be a year or more.

And regarding the delivery issues, while I'd love to have a Mavic today (or last week for that matter) instead of, say, January, I'd also prefer to wait a while instead of buying something that might spontaneously fall out of the sky due to a loss of power.

I think the "Mavic" is the Mavic Standard. The label shows "M1S".

Next generation won't come before at least a year. There might be minor revisions but you won't even know about it.

There's a thread regarding gimbal issue, I'm not sure how serious it is

I believe the name is not so important
And as I just noticed, that unreleased Mavic is already present in the DJI GO source code with ProductName KumquatS and name Mavic. (Mavic Pro has ProductName KumquatX).

 

[msinger]

Right -- I'm only using "Mavic" above because it's an aircraft register by DJI. I noticed that in the source code too

There's a thread regarding gimbal issue

Yep, I saw that one, but it doesn't seem to be a common / widespread problem.

The only thing I've seen to date that concerned me a little is the disconnection problem discussed here, but so far at least, it seems to be limited to a smallish number of Mavic owners.

Really? Here's a thread from the DJI forums that keeps a fairly up to date list of reported issues: Poll: Trouble with your Mavic? Update here (150+ votes currently)
Thus far:

• Gimbals in a failed state
• Broken gimbal clamps in shipping box
• Loose / extra screws rattling around inside Mavic body
• Flying hard right repeadidly into objects without issuing command to do so
• Flying in an odd fashion like it was arcing
• Poor video (jello) shooting at 1080/60
• Poor video (jello) due to vibration/gimbal?
• Trying to land it was spinning in circles using RTH
• Firmware upgrades failing (the usual but still present none the less)
• Sticky left stick?
• Camera issues - sharp center but blurry corners?
• No charger + Other Cables Missing from New Sealed Box
• Batteries not charging
• Dead Stick/Spinning out of control issue
• No RC response - Acting up caught on camera
• Lens Has Dust and Mold / Dirt inside the lens / Mavic Pro Lens Defect (dust and scratch) / Metal shaving in lens
• Wavy video and gimbal warnings
• Horizontal Tilt Issue
• Just bricked mid-flight
• Crooked horizon
• Controller MECH ERR
• In-flight battery error
• Mavic arrived today... battery authentication
• Compass Calibration Continually Fails

There's always something new around the corner.

Whelp mine doesn't have any of those issues. I will look for things to complain about while I'm flying though. Thus far my biggest complaint is that I have to recharge the transmitter more frequently than with my P3p.. I guess I am a little disappointed with the fact that I have to charge the batteries one at a time. Otherwise, there just hasn't been anything for me to complain about. The thing is really compact and very well built.

Sorry
