DJI Mavic Pro Platinum drone footage at Sawarna beach: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i3Z7k6Sgf82oiso.html
Have you guys and gals seen this unboxing? Has to be the coolest ever made! kzread.info/dash/bejne/gqilp8ykZMvFaLA.html
11:55 " keep it facing that way and I'll do it from behind" probably the greatest line I've ever heard in a drone related video
The Platinum puts out a lower frequency too, which is more agreeable to human ears. That makes it seem much quieter than it really is.

Ed Felty exactly, the props change the frequency more than the volume. We hear it less, as does the device.

Sweet....great review guys.....keep up the good work
Awesome video! I just got my Mavic Pro today after using a Spark for 3 months. This video was very informative, new platinum props already purchased and on route
When you do a sound test, stop yapping. The viewers at home want to hear the sound difference between the two drones too.

Greatest drone comparison video i've every seen. So funny and interesting to watch! You guys were a great team in this one :) Thank you all for the info and the final test at the end. Answered all my questions!
This was excellent! Thank you both so much!
Perhaps when your testing for sound, you might try not talking while taking the readings.

Fair point, but the microphone on the decibel meter has a directional pickup pattern, so us talking behind the meter has very little impact. Thanks for watching.

Would have been a better test to hold the drone in one spot and sit the mic in one spot so that the position is exactly the same. I get it, just a simple comparison and the platinum is noticeably quieter.
Time to order some new props!!! And props to you on the awesome video!! 👍

Great video. Very informative and helpful. I’ve been in the market for my first real (non-toy) drone and, I’ve been looking at the Mavic Pro and the Mavic Air. I had been leaning towards the Pro and now, I think I’m getting the Mavic Pro Platinum based on this video. Thanks for the comprehensive comparison.

If you don't already own a drone, the Mavic Pro Platinum is worth the extra $100 or so.

Great vid . I currently own the Platinum and couldn't be happier. Quick question...What model Oakley sunglasses are those ? I currently have the turbines but really like the look of those.
great job thanks
Good info. I'd be interested in some flight times with the Maverick Pro and the new props.
Very informative.
Interesting video guys. I am seriously looking at a Mavic to add to my collection. The differences seem a little subtle but for only an additional 100.00 I would just shoot for the platinum. Cheers Florida USA
These are just superb
best review video i love how the dog came back haha
i bought the mavic pro original one! its ok if there is a minute battery difference and it was on sale on blackfriday so the prize is justifiable! good vid!
I guess I'm buying a new set of Platinum props! Thanks for the testing. :)
Excellent review Kelly & B!!

One more point is that the Platinum runs at lower RPM because my guess is the props have a steeper pitch. With that in mind, I would not run the props on the old one because it might damage the ESC with a load they are not designed for.
I need one of those for my channel God I love them
That was an awesome and so interesting review...I have a Spark and also the P4P+ just got a few weeks ago and really trying to hold back on another drone since I’m scared of my wife! Lol.
the forward movement you speak of is called translational lift effect TLE which happens around 11-15 kts
Well done, guys. On the flight time tests, I think you need to account for the fact that you used the new Mavic Platinum batteries for both drones; could it be that the Platinum batteries are optimised to improve flight (in the Platinum drone) and may therefore account for why both drones only show a slight variation in flight times? What if you tested the drones with their respective custom batteries?
Amazing review
Great job, thanks guys. I wonder if the lower rpm on the grey Mavic with new blades will be more demanding on the motors in the way of torque (the thrust or lift required has not changed)? If that was the case, motor life could be reduced.
NIce review! Thanks!

Cool. But it doesn't let us know if the battery consumption would have been larger in difference if both Mavics had their own true battery, as they both used Mavic Pro Platinum batteries, but I love all you videos :) Thanks greatly for all your effort on each upload- i genuinely look forward to them.
Thanks again Kelly for another great review! And don´t forget to test which has better maneuverability and acceleration (for instance in the time necessary to get to 400 ft of height). Cheers from Argentina!

Thanks! I'm going to do more comparisons (like you mentioned), but this video was already pretty long, so saving it for the next video! Thanks for the comment!
The perfect sound measurement would be if they were held in place with something and measured from exactly the same distance, because while flying it's hard to keep the same distance. A few cm makes a lot of difference. The new one is still going to be much quieter like you tested, but the exact difference may differ.
Just a side note I am sure someone else said below somewhere but the RPM is not the only thing that affects battery. When changing props they might have a different pitch so to move the same amount of air it can use a lower RPM but require more power. Think biking in a really high gear. You might be pedaling slower but having to push on the pedals harder. Two motors using the same amount of power but one turning a prop with a steeper pitch will have a slower RPM. The decrease in sound is likely due to the lower RPM and less turbulent noise.
The escs shouldn't make a difference in flight time, the new escs are most likely running a digital protocol which allows for smoother flight rather than longer flights
great vid! Want to get a platinum but don't know how to fly! what toy drone should I practice with?
Very late in the piece but just a quick comment to add, great video comparison there... can't go wrong with a Mavic pro or the Platinum.. both wonderful fliers...!!
I know first hand between the two that the original Mavic Pro is much more stable in high wind then the Platinum. The more efficient ESC and quieter props do have a practical downside - ability to stabilise and fly against strong wind. With the Pro I’ve never had an issue even in strong wind, a lil genius of an aircraft. The Platinum though can’t stabilise or hold position - very noticeably gets blown away in comparable wind. Working with them commercially to observe and take field data this is very important
Very nice video
Did you know that Speed Racer (the dude on the shirt you’re wearing) in the 60’s was the first to fly a FPV drone that was built into his race car? Super awesome! 😃

For a real treat, compair the Platinum to the Mavic Air.. The Air sounds like a swarm of bees !
Bro good job u did won that first fight
Question; Has DJI enhanced the build of the gymbal for the Mavic Pro Platinum to avoid the problems some of the standard Mavic Pro's had? Is there any data suggesting a better gymbal on the Platinum? Thanks for the VIDS
Whats important when comparing the noise is also the lower frequency of the platinum, which makes the difference in practice even greater, as humans are more prone to higher whistling noises, even if a the same sound level.
From the video it is awesome
Nice bokeh at the field. Great vid as usual!
Oh cool, didn't know y'all were from Austin too! Very cool!
I actually do noise metering a lot in my profession. 3dBA difference is double (or half) the noise level. In reality its a different story because noise is perceived very individually.

they produce a diffrent freq. in my opinion. the platinum props are larger too. lower rpm
For me, an extra minute or two is huge for Drone work. But I do like a noisier drone. It helps me to find it in the air when I lose sight which happens more often then I would like.
Yeah i have the Platinum
Do we have to register/license these MAVIC Pros with any of the local agencies? Thanks, I really enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing.
Greatt review
Sir, When your Mavic boots, Does it passes through NFZ message ? I've got my Mavic in June 2017. Never fly in restricted zone (NFZ). It allways booted without NFZ. Then in September I visited Alabama Huntsville Space Center. I try to take off with my Mavic. And now after that atempt in Space Center Mavic all-time boots and shows for about 15seconds NFZ message.
Great presentation. I own both and agree with your conclusions.

Thanks for the video. Needs more test being done when pairing platinum props with mavic pro. Lower rpm does not necessarily translate to better efficiency when flying in real life conditions because flight stability is determined by a number of other factors. In windy conditions, mavic pro may not fly as good with platinum's prop. That is something that needs to be further tested. My advice would actually to buy mavic pro, save the extra $100 to buy DJI drone insurance. Anyway, in the coming months there's a good chance that a new mavic model is coming in.
