So I finally got a chance to fly the Mavic over the weekend and I have to say, it is everything I hoped for!! Here are a few things that I really liked, and a couple tips for people just getting theirs:
- LOVE how quiet the Mavic is in the air! Compared to my old Solo it's very quiet which makes it much easier to be more discrete.
- Extremely stable in the air and very agile! If you're used to a larger drone with slower movements, definitely start in beginner mode until you get a feel for how quickly the Mavic reacts and moves in the air.
- The camera and video...amazing!
- Flight time. I went about 20 minutes on my first flight and still have about 30% batter left.
- Take the time to go through ALL the settings. There are dozens of camera settings, system settings, and flight settings that you may not realize. Go through every menu, it's worth it.
- When I was flying outside I noticed my iPhone screen was quite dark. Depending on how you fit the phone into the holder, it can cover the light sensor, which then makes your screen get dimmer. But there's a solution, in the main camera view of the DJI Go app, you can slide left on the screen and it will bring up a slider to adjust brightness. Wish I found that sooner!
