New Mavic Pro Owner

[TShepp]

Hey Everyone! I recently sold my Spark to a friend and bought an almost new Mavic Pro setup. Took my first flight tonight with the MP and WOW! it is such a different experience. I really enjoyed the Spark for what it was and was the first drone that taught me how to fly, but it feels like a toy compared to this MP. I definitely need to spend some hours reading the manual and getting to learn all of the new features and controls but I'm pretty pumped so far. I went ahead and bought the Advanced Battery Hub and the Phantom 4 100w charger and looking for some new other accessories. What does everyone recommend as the "must haves"? I'm interested in the orange Master Airscrew props - mainly for the aesthetic, but also love the quieter tone of them. In doing my research I have been reading a lot of people who say to stick with the DJI low noise MPP props so I'm still undecided which ones to pull the trigger on. I welcome any recommendations or tips/tricks for a new MP owner!!

Great drone, the Mavic Pro. I own one and find that it does everything I need it to do. I'm not overly fussy in terms of the camera quality so don't plan on upgrading to the 1-inch sensor MP2 anytime soon.

I read somewhere about using non-DJI propellors - there was some problem that I can't remember sorry.

The Spark is a fun drone when flying around in Sport mode. You're right though -- the Mavic Pro definitely takes it up to another level.

Thanks! Right now I’m just researching possible replacement props. I’m considering giving the MAS orange ones a shot.

Did you get them?

Not just yet. I haven’t flown a whole lot lately since having a new baby in August. I am still planning to order them though!

If you really want to get the most out of your videos you probably want to invest in some filters. I have the PolarPro Cinema series but there are cheaper options out there. Filters can really do a lot for your videos.

Welcome! So. What are some of your goals having this Mavic Pro?
