IFA: DJI introduces Mavic Pro Platinum and
Phantom 4 Pro Obsidian Drones
By Eric van Ballegoie Thursday 31 August 2017 09:57
DJI today introduces new versions of two existing drones. The Mavic Pro Platinum is a slightly improved version of the Mavic Pro that came to market a year ago. The new Platinum version is technically almost identical to its predecessor, but thanks to new ESCs (electronic speed controllers) and new propellers, it offers 11% longer flight time and 60% quieter operation.
The new propellers are also compatible with the first version of the Mavic Pro, which could also fly this quieter. DJI's press release does not mention the maximum speed of the Mavic Pro Platinum, it is unclear for now whether this changes due to the new propellers.
In addition to changes to the ESCs and propellers, the Mavic Pro Platinum has also received a platinum-colored housing, which makes the new drone optically different from its predecessor. The Mavic Pro Platinum is available directly for 1299 euros, while a fly-more combo with extra batteries, a charging station and carrying case costs 1599 euros. The Mavic Pro Platinum is therefore 100 euros more expensive than the standard version.
Phantom 4 Pro Obsidian
In addition to the Mavic Pro, DJI also gave the
Phantom 4 Pro a new paint. Literally in this case, because the new
Phantom 4 Pro Obsidian is actually a matte-gray version of the current
Phantom 4 Pro. According to DJI, the new telg would be more professional and therefore intended for (semi) professional users. In addition to a gray body, the Obsidian also has a dark gray gimbal and camera module. The
Phantom 4 Pro Obsidian can be ordered directly for 1699 euros, the same price as the white version of the
Phantom 4 Pro
