The DJI Mavic Pro is a small yet powerful drone that turns the sky into your creative canvas easily and without worry, helping you make every moment an aerial moment. Its compact size hides a high degree of complexity that makes it one of DJI’s most sophisticated flying cameras ever.

Lots of "yay this is cool" comments here, but can anyone compare this to Karma and explain why this is actually (supposedly) better? Karma seemed like overall a better drone, and being able to have drone independent of the camera seems like a huge upside. Besides, you also get a stabilizer stick, which is great in any non-air photography/video. From a lame-man's glance, Karma is still a better choice?

@kirillzubovsky Differences between Mavic and Karma: - Mavic's flying distance is 4 miles, Karma: 0.62 miles. - Mavic's flight time is 27 minutes, Karma: 20 minutes. - Mavic is much smaller and portable than Karma. - Mavic can track and follow you around, Karma can't. - You can control Mavic using gestures, so you can film yourself instead of piloting the drone. - Mavic is easier to use. It has obstacle avoidance to prevent crashes, Karma doesn't. - DJI has built over 10 drones and Mavic is a mature product. Karma is GoPro's first drone, it is missing many features and will have more teething problems. - Mavic costs $1,000 and Karma is $1,100 (with camera), but you get a handheld stabilizer with it. If you need a handheld stabilizer to go with Mavic, you could get DJI OSMO Mobile to stabilize your smart video or DJI OSMO with 4K camera.

@ravishahuja @kirillzubovsky Thanks for adding these. It makes comparing both drones very simple.

@ravishahuja @kirillzubovsky Mavic is the better drone. Karma is a better all around storytelling tool. If I were going on a hike and could only bring Mavic or Karma, I'd pick Karma because of the detachable gimbal and camera (drone footage alone gets boring). But if you already have a second camera or only want a drone, Mavic is a good choice.

@antoinersx @caseyneistat the footage in 1080p is not good in that blog... compared to the footage from a PH4. The video is quite blurry.

@benoit @antoinersx I found the footage oddly soft as well. His P4 footage was a lot more sharp. I wonder if he smudged the lens?

As a phantom 3 owner I was stoked about GoPro's Karma, loved the "all in one" package. DJI is counter punching like a seasoned pro. The size is crazy by itself and then you see the features, it's like a mini-phantom 4.

@uphillmma That's def what it feels like, a mini-phantom 4. I have a phantom 4, but it'll be going on eBay and replaced. Portability is my only issue with the phantom, so yeah, take my money DJI.

@stephanehaddad originally I liked the idea of everything in one backpack, the removable gimble (which is still a great idea) but the Mavic outscores it across the board. The features are not even close. The subject tracking and the gestured "drone" mode show how far ahead DJI is in this space.

Incredible, they are getting better with each iteration. One thing that I noticed wasn't called out is the memory, it takes microSD cards, upto 64GB (Class 10/UHS1) and operating temperature of 32F-104F (ski shots maybe?)

The actual footage looks awesome, but the tests so far so the footage is a bit soft. Auto focus issues?

I've always appreciated drones over the years, but was never really at the level of engagement where I was willing to deal with the cost and time to learn how to operate it properly. I know DJI has been working on these easier to use drones packed w/ sensors for awhile now, but with the new form factor, all of a sudden I feel like I HAVE to get one! I think the state of drones isvery telling in this product video, that the core message has flipped from all the great technical features a drone has, more to the side of "this is what setting you put it on to get X shot". I.E. less about implementation and more about results.

It has all the features people were complaining that GoPro didn't include, and Casey Niestat commented on Twitter that DJI is going to kill (or could kill) the Karma. Everyone wanted a portable drone, and now they have more options: DJI Mavic, Lilly, and Karma.
