I picked up the extended landing gear for legs. Was thinking of the titanium propellers, but they look to be for the pro or platinum. Was thinking of prop guards too, but read into it that that can slow things down. Any recommendations? I did already buy the pre-order of the FT Aviator single hand controller kickstarter, just because it looked pretty cool. This can become an expensive hobby I can tell.Nice children! Main differences between the pro and platinum: The maximum flight time of the Mavic Pro Platinum is extended to 30 minutes and the maximum hovering time is 27 minutes. The decibel level is reduced by 4 dB (60% noise power reduction) when it is within 1 m from the aircraft.
Any specific accessories in mind?

You can compare the specs for those drones here.What is the difference between pro, pro platinum and pro2?
Any accessories advertised for the Mavic Pro will also fit the Mavic Pro Platinum (and vice versa). The Mavic 2 has been completely redesigned, so most of those accessories will not fit the older Mavic Pro models.Any accessories need to be platinum or do pro or pro2 fit?
Stick with OEM DJI props. They always work well, are designed for DJI drones, and won't void your warranty.Was thinking of the titanium propellers, but they look to be for the pro or platinum
Prop guards are great for flying indoors. However, flying indoors is not something I'd recommend for a beginner pilot. Things can go south quickly when flying around a lot of obstacles. Stick with flying outdoors in locations where there are no nearby obstacles. You won't need prop guards there.Was thinking of prop guards too
Netfolks, what is that app for virtual flying? Thanks much!Your children bought a very nice, stable and capable drone for you. Very nice gift. But don't be overconfident and suffer the misery of a mistake early on. There are many YouTube videos on all kinds of topics for the Mavic Pro Platinum. Mavic Pro is basically the same in learning topics. They cover topics like how to set options in the controller, the app and how to fly. Most are very well produced and you get to see it hands-on by experienced pilots. Make yourself VERY familiar with the RTH function and what to do before takeoff to be sure if will work. It is a great tool, watching those videos, before you take off. There is also an app for virtual flying, feeling the controls before you do it for real.
Paid a heavy price yesterday for not calculating this tip. Please be aware.Read, a lot. And understand RTH, and when you think you understand RTH read the instructions again. RTH can be a bird saver but it also gets a lot of people in trouble. And remember that your bird is using its elevation from its starting point only and if you are in hilly terain this needs to be taken into account in your RTH settings.
No they are different drones totally.
Google DJI Mavic platinum, then Mavic 2.
Sales people can be deceptive to clear stock that may be superseded in the near future, or just plain ignorant or I knowledgeable.
The Mavic platinum and indeed the Mavic pro are both still remarkable machines though, and you should get some great times using it.
Where are you located ?
there is only one thing to remember practice,practice ,practice , take your time get to know what the mav can and cannot do.dont worry about video or pics to start with ,master your flying first ,as others have said read the manual watch videos and you will soon get the hang of it .what ever you do please dont try to fly indoors,thats the quickest way to crash your mav hope it all works out for you happy flyingBeauty - yeah was googling a heap but for some reason I wasn’t getting a definitive answer and I’m totally new to drones. First bit of footage I’ve got seems pretty awesome for my needs. I’m in Brissie and plan on travelling quite a bit this year so keen to get some good footage. Thanks for the response

While they appear similar when viewed from afar, they are completely different drones. You can compare the specs here.
