Mavic 3/4 Pro Alternatives

[Letac]

Hi.

Are there any adequate alternatives to Mavic 3 or 4 Pro? I understand there is no clear competitor, but perhaps something non-DJI that can match the quality of the footage (H.265 in Log) and stills (DNG) of Mavic 2 Pro? Thanks!

You've already answered your question there.

What's your budget looking like?

it's Aug 28, 5:30PM and right now Adorama claims it has the Mavic 4 Pro available, in cluding a fly more combo. With the RC 2. $3100 for the drone, battery and RC; $4100 for the FMC

don't know it it's actually available and if it is, how long supplies will last

Adorama has the Matrice 4E available but the price has gone way up

as for alternatives to the Mavic 3/4 Pro, Autel is the only alternative and they aren't as good and cost is still high

if it's an alternative to the Mini 3/4, seems like Skyrover is getting a lot of solid reviews

And when it becomes available in October, the Creator Combo will be $6010 after tax for me. That's insane.

Might be time to start thinking about Skydio X10.

ive operated with Autel and Skydio over the years but always default back to DJI.

I would ask about your Budget. DJI Drones are priced very cheap so as far as "competition" for the type of Drone you will be hard pressed to find anything close.
DJI however is not the industry standard for filming. If you want to pursue a career in Drone cinematography then you need to invest in a "lifter" such as a taurus. (they are the standard). Depending on what camera you purchase you can bring the cost below 5000 BUT most of my buddies have cams that cost upwards of 60 thousand on their Taurus.

Do you have a link for the taurus? Thanks!

You probably know DJI are offering MP3 editions on discount right now if you can order and receive from anywhere outside the US.

DJI IS THE ONLY TRUE CHOICE AT THIS TIME ( AND THAT IS SO SAD ) THE INTEREST IS THERE ) MILLIONS WOULD GLADLY GET FROM UNDER DJI'S THUMB
