Hey Guys,
As you guys may know, I purchased the Mavic 2 Pro when it first was released and have been flying it since.  There is another thread here (https://forum.dji.com/thread-166317-1-1.html) where I discuss my first 2 weeks with it.

I was recently lucky enough to be given an opportunity to test out the Mavic 2 Zoom for a short time.  Below is a video with my thoughts on my first impressions after the first day of flying it.  The weather has been terrible here and I only have it for a short amount of time, so don't expect fantastic visuals...  

It's not perfect, but it is a great drone with a great camera that gives you the ability to get a different perspective.



Let me know what you think!

So between the zoom and the Pro which would you recomend for an overall hobby dronist,

Good question there by Suren - which would you chose KG?

I know that is the question everybody wants answered, but quite honestly, I don't feel like I'm qualified to answer that yet.  I only have a handful of flights with the Zoom on a cloudy, nasty day and haven't been able to put it into the same situations as I've done with the M2P.  

I'm not trying to be difficult or anything, I just like to get to know something a bit more intimately before giving recommendations.  Spending well over a thousand USD is a lot of money and not something I take lightly...

In the end, I think the answer is going to be a bit more nuanced than just a simple "you should buy X instead of Y".

When I get more time logged with the Zoom, I'll come back with more specific answer...

Great review, Zoom is a great camera drone, I believe anyone who buys it will be very happy.

Very well done, thank you!

Fair comment KG. Look forward to more of your footage - it's always good to have options.

Thank you for your first impressions with the Mavic Zoom.
I know those pilots on the fence about reach drone to get are looking forward to hearing more from you in the near future.

Very nice!

I personally love my M2P and think most of the talking heads are playing up the drama a bit too much.

Thanks, I just wish this dang weather would cooperate!  Why is it that drone dealers time almost always comes with bad weather?

Hi~ Could you have a check of your email? Thanks!

Thanks for the video!
Both have their appeal
