Which Mavic Pro Package

[danielr1990]

Good day!

I have been on Amazon ready to order the Mavic about 10 times and every time I don't order because I get confused on what to buy. Each package has something else, and I start to wonder if I should get a package or just order the drone?

They sell them now for $827

Should I get this one?
What are the most important things I need that dont come stock?
Should I get a package?

Thanks

Should I get this one?

You should buy exactly what you need. If you can find a package deal that includes all of the accessories you need, then you will likely save money with the package deal. Otherwise, price out what you need and see if it's less expensive to buy the Mavic and accessories separately.

What are the most important things I need that dont come stock?

Here are my favorite must-have accessories for the Mavic:

• Extra Batteries (get them from DJI or Amazon)
• Battery Charging Hub (makes it easier to charge multiple batteries)
• Lens Pen (to easily clean the camera or ND filters)
• Case (check out the Go Professional hard case or others here)
• Extra Memory Card (find commonly used memory cards here)
• Memory Card Reader (to easily transfer photos/videos from memory card to a computer)
• ND Camera Filters (find a list of good brands to use here)
• Toolkit (in case you need to disassemble anything)
• Combined Gimbal Lock & Cover (the OEM cover has weak tabs that eventually break off)
• Compatible Phone/Tablet to Fly (see a list of commonly used phones/tablets here)
• Extended Landing Gear (in case you need more clearance between the camera & ground)

I would wait a bit. This is the time for dji product refresh cycle and strong rumors for Mavic pro 2

Thanks for the reply. What card comes with the drone? How long does it hold in 4K footage?
