I can't compare video or photo quality of the Mavic to the Phantom as I only own a Mavic, but I will say the Mavic shoots beautiful video and takes very decent photos. I recently traveled to Mexico with it in carryon, and just rolled the drone itself in a scarf for protection and tossed it along with the controller into my backpack. The portability of it is really astounding, and the main reason I decided to get one. I do think there are still some software bugs to be ironed out (gimbal roll problems, some claims of attitude mode instantly crashing drones), but as long as you are patient preparing for takeoff (waiting for GPS or opticall mode), you shouldn't have problems.
It doesn't shoot night scenes tremendously well though unless it's in a well lit city (got some gorgeous shots of NYC at dusk just after the sun set), but I feel like that's to be expected. But really, whether it's worth it or not comes down in my opinion to whether the added portability is a big enough draw for you. |
