They should be releasing the Mavic Pro 2 to coincide with the other competitors' releasing their drones announced for this March.

What do you mean, like the shaking of the Mavic Air in cold weather?

I mean the little (and big) bugs that are usually introduced when rushing implementation of a new, complex, product.

There's been some Vlogs saying how DJI has had the Mavic Pro 2 project in the works since the original Mavic Pro first came out, in 2016.

That might be true indeed.

That might be true indeed.

I'm suspecting we're going to see a very similar looking Mavic Pro 2 to the original Mavic Pro.

Interesting, I got it about that far before, it is amazing how far this little machine can go.

I totally agree with you, pretty amazing!

Just sent out my Spark to its new owner. I will miss that thing, but I am getting the money for the Pro 2!!

What color was your Spark? Hope the wait isn't too long for the Mavic Pro 2.

Very cool and you certainly were not in "Dire Straits"    ; - )
Very excellent that you have such wide open spaces to fly in.

Can't imagine why everyone is selling their Spark for the Air. I guess for the camera but the 1080P on the Spark is awesome if you ask me. I won't be selling mine anytime soon and love flying it, along with my others.

I sincerely agree with you 100%. Thanks for the reply and enjoy your flying..

That is what they say indeed (although that might have been only 1 source)

My 13543 ft. attempt. nearly missed

The Mavic Pro original design was so successful that it'd be difficult for DJI to reinvent a largely different looking quad for the Mavic Pro 2?

Looks like you almost didn't make it. When did you perform that range test?

I missed the homepoint by only 200 meters. August 22, 2017

The main design is superb, but I can imagine there are things that can be improved still.

Oh, that was before a lot of updates so things have gotten more accurate this then, you should try another range test?

How much do you think the starting point will cost for the Mavic Pro 2?

I really don't know.
But I expect with the fly more at least € 1500,-

I don't understand what's going on with my DJI Sparks I get GPS signal and then no signal I have weak transmission and then disconnects what is going on what is the problem this is my second Sparks my other Sparks didn't do this what did I do different

What do I do people how do I fix my problem is it a firmware discrepancy or did they screw up or did I screw up how do I fix the no signal signal no signal disconnect problem

Montfrooij Posted at 2018-2-27 11:22

That's going to be more than the original Mavic Pro Fly More Combo that debuted at $1,299.

Reflash your firmware.

How is the GPS signal in that area on your phone itself?

I think it will get close to the P4P's price as it will be the main drone for most EU pilots I guess.
Hope it will be < 900gr so it has lighter regulations.
The Phantom series will be too heavy for most EU flyers.

That price range is a bit more out of my league, when especially I thought the Mavic Pro at $999.00 was already at the height of my budget...

Blue, but I put a decal over it.

I like that shade of Blue for the Spark, it's obviously not sky blue and has its own unique color as opposed to other colors of blue.

Using the parabolic range extenders I was able to get to 10680 ft before low battery RTH kicked in..  Still had control and vid so could have gone further...

Did you perform your Range Test prior to DJI updating the firmware for the Spark battery that effectively makes it perform longer?

davidmartingraf Posted at 2018-2-27 14:13

Same for me.

Montfrooij Posted at 2018-2-27 22:54
Same for me.

That's why I'm hoping the price for the original Mavic Pro will go down (as has been the case over the past several weeks) and the price for the Mavic Pro 2 will be introduced at the same introductory price of $999.00 for the original Mavic Pro?

I personally believe it will be more expensive than the MPP.
Based on the assumption it could even be replacing the P4P also.
The 1"sensor (assumption)
Variable aperture (assumption)
Long flight time (probable assumption)
And portability
Will appeal to most Phantom flyers I believe.
So those assumptions make me believe it will sit around the P4P price point.
And with the new EU regulations Phantom will fall in the more strict category, making a <900gr drone more appealing for non commercial flyers.

Of course, all speculation and we will have to see what DJI is going to do.

Very interesting time.

Then if you're right, it would suggest pricing for Spark 2, Mavic Air 2, etc will only imply increases, as well?
