The New DJI Mavic Drone is Amazingly Small & Feature Packed
UPDATE : And Now Available For Pre-order!
DJI have released a new drone : The DJI Mavic. At the first glance it doesn’t seem to have more capabilities than the Phantom 4, It can follow you wherever you go, avoid obstacles and all the other exciting features but what is really new is the size of the Mavic, it’s extremely small (H83mm x W83mm x L198mm when folded) compared to the Phantom line of drones literally you can stash it anywhere, that’s pretty small if you ask me specially that with that small size it comes packed with 5 cameras & 24 processors!

The DJI Mavic can fly up to 27 minutes theoretically so it’s about the same like the Phantom 4 which is 28 minutes.

The DJI Mavic can fly at a maximum speed of 40 MPH, a bit slower than the Phantom 4 which can fly at 45 MPH.
Transmission Range
Up to 4.3 miles when there are no obstructions which is 1.2 miles more than the Phantom 4! (Again this is all theoretical, varies due to environmental factors)
Obstacle Sensing
Up to 15m like the Phantom 4.
Camera
4k UHD video!
DJI Goggles
You can now fly in first person wearing the DJI Goggles, not good if you are afraid of heights 😀

Extra Cool Features
-ActiveTrack : Tell the DJI Mavic who or what to track and it automatically follows you everywhere while intelligently avoiding obstacles.
-Tripod mode for indoor flights slows down movements or for taking the perfect photo.
-You can wave to your drone and it takes a photo of you!
-You can tap where you want to go and the drone will handle the rest, no need for manually controlling it.
Price
As the size is small compared to the Phantom 4, the price is too! it currently costs $999 which is a little bit less than the DJI Phantom 4 which costs now about $1,100 long time after it’s release… So given the much smaller size and portability factor, the DJI Mavic is definitely a go!
