All the power of a DJI Phantom in a more portable package

Folding drones are undoubtedly the future. GoPro thinks so, and now that DJI has unveiled the Mavic Pro, it’s sure to become the bandwagon on which to jump. The Mavic may seem expensive, but the fact that it has even better tech inside it than the Phantom 4 means it’s actually very good value. If there’s one downside it’s that you can’t remove the gimbal and camera for ground-based filming as you can with GoPro’s Karma. But the Mavic Pro’s portability and the fantastic new controller are the real winners, though. It means you don’t have to lug a big case around as you did for the Phantom, and that it doesn’t have to be a special occasion: you can take the Mavic Pro everywhere.
