Hi,
I`m looking to but a Mavic drove for fun,
The plan is to look for somthing from the 1st generation,
Some criterias:
  • 1st Gen, no need to for the 2nd Gen.
  • Spark is not an option.
  • Stable connection and easy control
  • Picture
  • Distance



Which one you will recomend?
If possible direct link will be great,

THanks,

Go Mavic Air. I just got one and it’s worth your dollar (or $800 )

If you are looking for stable connection and distance it's Mavic Pro 1. gen.
If you are looking for drone to fly close to you or in middle of desert
with no WiFi around use Mavic Air but don't expect stable connection.

If you look on used items, Mavic Pro 1 is one of the best.
But you should carefully check camera sharpness in the corners

The Mavic Pro probably represents the best value for money overall, Mavic Pro Platinum would be moderately better if available at similar price. It has a number of things in its favour, one unique function is the ability to rotate its camera 90 degrees to give true portrait image. Range with Occusync isn't a problem, and it integrates fully and wirelessly with the DJI Goggles. And some nice intelligent flight modes.

Mavic Pro/Platinum


And judge for yourself the video produced:-

Mavic Air for improved gimbal stability, image quality, portability and fun features like Smart Capture
Mavic Pro for increased flight time, significantly improved transmission system/range and quieter motor noise
Mavic Pro Platinum for even more flight time and less motor noise

Tough one but you won't go far wrong with either of these. You may even find a quality, used Mavic 2 Zoom on Ebay priced similar to these bought new.

I bought a second hand Mavic Pro and love it a lot.
Perfect range, flight time, many flight modes to try out.
The only 2 drawbacks I can think of are the gimbal design and the camera that is not 'the best' you can get right now.
But I can live with the second and hope for the best for the first

Mavic 2 Zoom would have no headache.  Some M2P users are having issues w/ their sensor as there seems to be a "gap" so if any dust gets in between it's over.

I get up and going in the air w/ that drone like it's nothing.  Works Everytime.

I would agree with all of the above re the Mavic Pro. It is a great machine and can be purchased now for a very reasonable price. I still fly my original MP.

I can see that DJI - Mavic Pro Platinum is still selling,
Is the regular DJI - Mavic Pro still selling now?

No, that one was officially discontinued late last year I believe. Though some resellers still have new-old-stock
