New guy here...

I have been flying rc planes for the last 4 years. Tried for at least 20 years off and on and finally got it. In the last 4 years I‘ve had a few toy drones and also a couple hobby grade race drones. Race drones are fun but very hard to control. So a few months back I bought a phantom 3 standard and love the range and camera but want more. I’m now thinking of buying a used Mavic pro 1. I’m sure the Mavic would be an amazing drone but even used they are 600 and up. Can anybody give me their experience going from a phantom to a Mavic. I’m also considering the new hubsan Zino 2 or Fimi X8 SE 2020. These can be bought for under 600 new.

Hi jack10525 welcome to Mavic Pilots.
I changed from a Xiaomi 4k (similar in size to a Phantom) to a Mavic Pro.
The portability alone made it worth it.

Welcome to Mavic Pilots! Enjoy the forum!
I have owned all of the Phantom line of aircraft and as @THE CYBORG mentions, the portability and more innovative tech of the Mavic Series is what makes it one of the top selling aircraft in the world. You will certainly enjoy having one.

welcome to the forum, although DJI are not the only kid on the block when it comes to drones ,and the ones you mentioned are perfectly acceptable at a reasonable price
there is really no substitute for the tech and dependability that DJI have brought to the market ,occusync being a prime example,it really is down to how much you can or want to spend on this pastime

Thanks all. Yes I’ve already seen this forum is a great resource. And yes DJI does make incredible drones. I’m on the hunt for a used Mavic pro 1. Hopefully I can find one at my price point.
