i have played with 2 sparks and now i have a mavic pro, and i will say mavic pro is a completely different animal, you will absolutely love it, range is bar none the best with occusync the only issue i have with my mavic pro, and battery life is something the spark can only dream of..
2 things to look out for though
1 is it is way louder than spark, in the park today i could hear my mavic landing from 350 feet up, unmistakable buzzing (quiet area), whereas the spark is way way more subtle and quiet, which is good for playing around other people maybe using it to get tighter shots at parties and such or sneaking about..
other issue i have with mavic pro, may not be an issue just spooks me is the battery estimated run time.. i dont understand how such a large difference sometimes.. flying in sport mode today.. no issues estimated 15-20 minutes in sport, that's ok... then drops like rock down to 10 minutes like within 1 - 2 minutes.. i got spooked even my ex spark was more linear with battery meter than the mavic is, backed off, switched back to P-GPS (normal mode) 25mph and battery shot up to 21 minutes remaining .. like what? but if you fly in normal mode it should be fantastic battery life, i was up at my farm and i was making passes for battery runtime test on my 2nd pack of the day.. 20-30mph (non sport mode) i was getting very close to 20 minutes, this is at a higher altitude with 5mph winds and recording 4K 30fps. bringing it down into the valley below my farm on battery pack 1 after that finished charging, where no wind i found about 25 minutes run time in non sport mode just casually cruising over the river a bit.. but sport mode tears the batteries up. |
