Which DJi bundle should I get?

devinomura · Nov 19, 2017

Hi! New user here, I've been doing a lot of research because I'm planning on buying a DJi Mavic Pro. I was basically looking at 2 options, the MP Fly more bundle for $1150 (Black Friday sale knocks off $150). Or the Alpine White MP bundle for $1050. COLOR DOES NOT MATTER TO ME. I am simply looking for the best deal I can find for my money. It's important to note that the stuff like the car charger, man-purse bag, multi-charger, and the power bank converter in the fly more bundle does not interest me at all.

I have also been looking at some accessories and noticed some are more popular than others. I wanted to ask some questions and here your personal recommendations.
I have heard nothing but good things about the PolarPro ND/PL 3 piece set. Its a bit pricey at $80 but I heard it does the job the best.
I am thinking about getting the PolarPro Katana holder as well, because I don't have any sort of steadycam/gimbal or any sorts, so that would help add an element of smoothness to my ground shots.
Anything else you guys would recommend? Thanks in advance for all the help!

That white combo is by far the best deal. You get everything you need and for the best price. I have videos reviewing and testing both the PolarPro filters as well as the Katana if you want to check them out. For sure get the filters. They are the best. The Katana is ok. I used it quite a bit at first, but I havent used it now for a couple of months.

Depends on where you want to fly, too. If you want to fly in the mountains (or even in the deserts like those in California, Nevada, etc. where the desert gradually rises thousands of feet from the valley to foothills), you'll inevitably get disappointed by the 500m altitude limit (you can be less than 400ft above the ground at all times, but need to go higher than 500m above the takeoff). So far, nobody succeeded to kill this limit for Platinum and White.

The Mavic Pro Alpine White Combo is the best deal at the moment (since you don't need most of the accessories).

After you get tired of only being able to charge one battery at a time, you'll probably want a Mavic battery charging hub. Even after buying the charging hub for $24 or the advanced charging hub for $49, you'll still save money with the Alpine White Combo.
