When buying a lower lever professional drone it is normally for the purpose of videography. DJI is one of the leading makers of drones for this purpose. The Mavic is a newer model that has many components that help a newer pilot safely fly and get quality video. Being lighter and more compact that comparable drones, the Mavic is easily transportable without the fear of breaking. The four arms fold into the body and make it almost small enough to fit in a pocket.
The 4k camera has a 3-axis gimble that allows for physical stabilization of the camera. The camera is so stable it allows for eight second exposure shots. This camera has a longer focal length than DJI phantom cameras which creates a more narrow field of view in the video. A narrower field of view allows for more depth to be recognized in the image. The camera also has a tap-to-focus technology meaning that the user can tap the image on their phone screen on the remote and the camera will focus on whatever the user taps.
The controller is also small and portable but does not lack features and quality. It has a built in spot for a smartphone that can be linked to the drone with DJI's application. It has a new OcuSync program that allows for better connection from the phone on the controller to the video on the drone. OcuSync is more relieable and less glitchy than the LightBridge on the Phantom series. The Mavic has an easy land feature that lands the drone by using sensors on the bottom the device to detect when it's close to the ground then automatically setting itself down. The Mavic also comes with a number of smart features that control the device in flight. It has features that can follow the user behind, in front or on the side, and track the user in a single spot, side to side.
The Mavic Pro is a good choice for a low end drone because it has all the features that the user will need to take quality images and video and a lower level scale. It has a camera that can get the job done and comes with many features that makes it easy to fly. This is a great drone for the price from a reliable company and would make for a good entry level drone.
