I just used the Mavic Pro 2 for the first time and I love it. I am primarily using it for photography and videography.
Ease of Use:
It’s so easy to fly, and yet it has so many options for controlling your shot. I like my gadgets to let me have control and this camera absolutely allows for that. I think the DJI app will take some getting used to. My primary camera is a A7RII, and I pocket a RX100V. Both of these are easier to use than others in their catagory (imo) but the controls are expansive and tactile. For photography, the controls are not as organic in the app yet, but I will get there (and pray that they redesign for better controls of this amazing sensor).
Camera:
I have tested it and I am impressed. I shot in the middle of a sunny day and was able to control my aperture well enough to get some amazing shots. It really is amazing. I still have to adjust the speed of the gimble and sensitivity of the joysticks so that I can get smoother transitions. My first attempts at pan shots were jumpy. I am sure that is something I can improve on, and I love that DJI really assumes you will learn the device according to your own needs, and not make it a one size fits all. The camera has almost all of the capabilities of the RX100. I think it’s the same sensor. I know Sony made a few 1” sensors for Hasselblad in the past, and it would not surprise me to find that these are the same ilk. This should please anyone who has followed the RX100 line, as that sensor is consistently getting props since it came out with gen 1 in like 2012.
I will spend more time later with the color profiles, because I really have not tested them and looked that deep in post to evaluate. I like the warmer HBad color profiles. To know that I can achieve that without much work is really exciting.
Flymore and Extra thoughts:
The DJI warrantee is a no brainer. I am not hard on my gear, but I don’t want to be scared of getting the most out of the drone that I can. With how expensive the “care” is it just made sense.
The flymore bundle with the bag, batteries, car charger, etc. was less about the bargain, and more about not delaying my ability to fly as much as I want. The bag squeezes it all in there quite economically but the material is not worth the $80 street price. I have a couple Katas and Lowepros that are much better built for similar pricing. I am using it to try it out but will likely sideline it in favor of something more robust. If you find it for $50, I think that would be more inline with the actual value.
Conclusion:
Would I buy this again? Absolutely. The drone is stunning in looks and performance. It is quiet enough to fly in a residential area and not freak everyone out. I am getting some nd filters with polarizing to cut some unwanted effects, but this is common I think for drone videographers to cut down shutter speed on videos for smooth motion blur. I can’t wait to get more familiar and possibly find a solution to the lack of speed adjustments in the app.

Received drone but with scratch
I placed order on Monday and I received the drone this afternoon. But when I inspected the drone, I found out there were two deep scratch on the gimbal. I took some pictures and contacted seller immediately. I am still in the process of charging battery. I will try to fly it when it is ready. Hopefully that was the only flaw.
