As most of you know I ordered A DJ Mavic Pro as a Black Friday discount. I love photography and try to take pictures as good as I can. But I know with every shoot you need to learn something. And for now I need to learn a lot, because IT arrived finally! The DJI Mavic Pro is here and it is my first drone. Ever since the Mavic came out I knew I wanted to have one, because of it’s transportability and awesome 4K camera. Maybe not the best but compared to its size its perfect. For my future roadtrips I’m gonna use this to extend my photography and even start filming I think.
It’s transportability is even better than I thought after watching all those movies. Just fold it in and it will fit in almost every gearbag.
The box the Mavic arrived in
The box is really smooth almost like Apple style
The travelbag contains almost everything. So no more unnecessary
cardboard boxes in boxes as I saw in the unbox videos on youtube. DJI scores some points here!
When we unpack the bag we’ll find these inside (and 3 accu packs but I forgot to put them on the table for this picture)
Inside the Mavic there is already a 16GB memory card
Already got the tip here to upgrade my DJI (thanks ), but what a hell of a job. It didn’t upgrade instant to the latest firmware so need to get there step by step. But after the Mavic I had to upgrade everything (controller, battery’s). So first upgrading then flying.
The first flight with the Mavic
The image quality didn’t blow me away instant. Think I need to learn what the camera does with different kind of light, weather etc. When you have some tips feel free to put them in the comments section!
The Mavic live in action
Next steps!? Need to prepare some ideas for aerial shots and unveil it’s raw power! Too bad the weather isn’t co-operating here at the moment with all the fog coming from the sea. What would you prefer next time, images or video?
