Thank you all for the fast responses and feedback. We're putting together all of your questions and we will do a video answering them and testing everything you're asking, e.g. the new propellers on the old drone :)
Please, there are dozens of videos about the new propellers on the old mavic. the answer is YES. It works, it's quieter. But there's nothing on the 1080p 60fps. Is it fixed or still unusable ? PLEASE DO THAT. There's not a single video that covers it.
We Talk UAV Thinking of buying a mavic pro for Christmas, I am confused whether I should go with the old mavic or the platinum. I am thinking of getting the Platinum, but is it worth the money? Your advice will be greatly appreciate. Thank you.
Actually looking for a used Mavic pro now. Seems the platinum is the one to get although they are hard to find. Also not too sure why you decided to put the old noisier props on the new one instead of the other way around? Anyway good effort!
great video, even today I received my Mavic Pro Platinum Combo, the batteries are charging, my first drone, I also bought the DJI Crystalsky 5.5 inch monitor, and the DJI Cristalsky Mavic Mounting System Evolution3D, I am very happy.
Love your videos! Always interested in the technology side of things! Don't plan to upgrade at this time as I'm super happy with my Mavic Pro and just purchased a Spark, so cash-flow is rather low anyway! LOL
Nice vid, two comments. 1- you should have tested the new props on the old Mavic as they are about 3-4db quieter, also it would be nice to see if the run time changed. 2- you didn't mention the camera, it is said that the hardware was improved to now provide good 1080/60 without the "binning" artifacts!
I understand there is an improvement in 1080 video at 60 fps as well. That too is apparently a hardware change. I tend to stay with 4k video but there have been numerous complaints about the dreadful 1080 video at higher frame rates with the older mavic.
Nice review! Thanks for sharing. Wonder if the new propellers will work more quietly and efficiently on the older Mavic. The new propellers are available seperatly?
I would like to learn about battery care. There seems to be much different information on the subject. Specifically regarding how to discharge to the storage level. Thank you
Nice report, but where's the comparison of the MP with the new props, to see if noise or battery duration is helped by the props only? Oh yeah, you need a better mic setup, your audio has too much echo. Try a "Blue Yeti" mic, they work well for TH-camrs. $125
Despite the numbers in the noise meter, what is your appreciation about the noise reduction? It is appreciable? Flying at 100 feet, can you tell if there is a Drone above you?
Hi Martin and thanks. You can't really tell the difference even if the drone is 1 meter in front of you. We will talk about this also on the new video!
Thanks for the information. Do you know if the motors are the same? Is it just the speed controllers that are different? Seems faster props would be better in the wind but I am not sure about it. Some say the mavic pro motors heat up more with the new props.
thanks, the speed control was improved (same as on the p4p 2.0), the motor itself remains the same. about heating up, i can't tell you scientifically but from what we've been using we did not notice any difference
for the price difference in fly more package deals between Pro and Pro Platinum you can buy a 4th battery and get even more fly time for your money. then put the newer props on your Pro and you'll be good to go. Well yeah maybe not as quiet but I would think the ESCs wave length and timing could be a simple firmware update. ???? Is there more to the Platinum or is DJI just stinging us for another price increase for such a small improvement.??? I want to buy a Mavic but what one ?? Do I wait for the Mavic 2 to come out??? Ug
I agree. Better spend the extra $100 on an additional battery and 2 new sets of platinum propellers rather than waste it on the Platinum. You will end up with longer flight time than the platinum and just as low noise level.
The main difference is the propellers.If you instal them on the old mavic pro you will also notice longer flight time and less noise.And also please check the firmware version and tell us if you can go back to an earlier version.
Could you please tell me where you found or saw the info on the increased flight times with the Mavic pro using the platinum propellers. I do long distance flights with a battery mods on firmware 700 with all the pertinent perimeter adjustments. I was really thinking about getting a MP platinum for the additional flight time to push my bird out pass 50K.
How did you get your Mavic Pro Platinum so early? I preordered mine on B&H and it still hasn’t come in. I heard there was a delay. Where did you order yours?
I love the way you make videos. It’s always very entertaining and have a way of making your viewers attached to make sure they watched every second. And also your videos look so crisp and clear what camera are you using to film this. Also if you don’t mind me asking I feel like on my Mavic pro when I film it’s not as clear as your settings on your Mavic. What do you have them at?
You should dispense with focussing on your shoes and jeans. It's a real turnoff; stick to the topic. Other than that minor complaint, I like your videos, and the technical aspects they bring to the discussion.
Hey Good night. Which drone do you recommend for photos and videos that travels long distances with real-time fpv wi-fi? mavic 2, mini 2, mavic platinum or zino pro mini hubsan?
Thanks for replying, I really like your channel. "I have a Mavic, I have a Spark, comparison", lol:) You may have to "hack" it to see what top speed it will do...
My question is, do the Filters of the Mavic Pro fit on the Platinum or do is the lens size different? Because in your video you only have a Filter on the Pro. Thanks in advance. ^_^
Great video as usual.. Even though the new mavic platinum propellers fit the original mavic, what is the noise reduction on using them on the original mavic ? Is this worth buying the newer props I wonder 🤔
How did you get your platinum??? Ordered mine and was supposed to get it on fist shipment of September,, then dji sends me an email saying confirming shipping for mid to late October,,😠😠😠😠😠
On TTT video th-cam.com/video/Er14AtwT59k/w-d-xo.html at 18:20 he mentions the gimbal microshake problem. I just bought a brand new Mavic Pro (06/2018) and have the same thing on my footage. Can you please elaborate if this is normal and if you have experienced a similar thing on your Mavic Pro or Mavic Pro Platinum. For example i have 2-4 microshakes in 8-10 minute footage. Is this normal based on your experience ???
It is a real test when both do the same exact thing and one lasts longer than the other. In any case, IMO it is better to spend the extra $100 on an additional battery and the new platinum propellers and get the original Mavic Pro. You'll get longer flight time than the platinum and just as quiet...
Did you guys watched the WHOLE video? I doubt it. Cause in it he DOES mention that the batteries are exactly the same and that the new FOC ESC drivers is what's accounting for the longer battery life.
I posted this comment when you said about the battery incressed 3 min in the beginning of the video, about at the 1 min mark, witch is not accurate. But the info that you give out in the restof the video is correct, and I foget to add additional info to my comment. No offence.
I see the battery is same colour as original mavic. ? they state mavic batterie last 27 mins I'm getting 21 mins normal flight , so don't trust what you read
Thank you all for the fast responses and feedback. We're putting together all of your questions and we will do a video answering them and testing everything you're asking, e.g. the new propellers on the old drone :)
We Talk UAV, does it work with S7 edge have they fixed the bugs and when is it coming out?, thanks.
Please, there are dozens of videos about the new propellers on the old mavic. the answer is YES. It works, it's quieter. But there's nothing on the 1080p 60fps. Is it fixed or still unusable ? PLEASE DO THAT. There's not a single video that covers it.
Sync the volume of your dude's audio and music pls. the music blasted my ears off while the small whispers of the man made me wonder what DJI was.
We Talk UAV Thinking of buying a mavic pro for Christmas, I am confused whether I should go with the old mavic or the platinum. I am thinking of getting the Platinum, but is it worth the money? Your advice will be greatly appreciate. Thank you.
get the platinum, for a few extra bucks you get better technology!
Really wish you would have let us hear the pro noise instead of playing loud music
Actually looking for a used Mavic pro now. Seems the platinum is the one to get although they are hard to find. Also not too sure why you decided to put the old noisier props on the new one instead of the other way around? Anyway good effort!
Great video! I have been considering which one to purchase. Right now I lean toward Platinum. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
your background music is a bit loud, for future reference you may want to reduce that a whole lot.
great video, even today I received my Mavic Pro Platinum Combo, the batteries are charging, my first drone, I also bought the DJI Crystalsky 5.5 inch monitor, and the DJI Cristalsky Mavic Mounting System Evolution3D, I am very happy.
It sure would be good if you made a video accusync vs lightbridge. It's so hard to believe no one has does this!!!
In Australia the MPP sells for the same price as the regular. The older model was discounted slightly
You forgot to mention the esc on the motors for the platinum
Please can you do a review or do a two years later video with mavic pro platinum.tell us how it's been holding up
Nice video! I just got my Mavic Platinum - looking forward to testing it. Thanks for the video.
Why don’t you test the battery life and noise level of old Mavic with new propellers. You missed the most wanted questions of Mavic owner
Thanks, we will answer this on the next video we're already filming. I hope this video answered some of them though :)
th-cam.com/video/5JZfLOOxAUQ/w-d-xo.html watch this one, ten times better
Hi, thank you for your video. The most important thing is if dji improved the vid quality in 1080p 50/60fps. Did you test it already?
This please. Just answer this.
Love your videos! Always interested in the technology side of things! Don't plan to upgrade at this time as I'm super happy with my Mavic Pro and just purchased a Spark, so cash-flow is rather low anyway! LOL
it is necessary to have wifi on the phone to fly the mavics
great video, I just purchased the platinum pro. I am a first time flyer, any tutorials available?
Nice vid, two comments. 1- you should have tested the new props on the old Mavic as they are about 3-4db quieter, also it would be nice to see if the run time changed. 2- you didn't mention the camera, it is said that the hardware was improved to now provide good 1080/60 without the "binning" artifacts!
thank you for your comment. We will be doing both tests as some of you have told us to do! Vid will be coming soon!
Good info, thanks for the detailed info on the motors. helped me make a decision
Would have loved to see the noise waveform. Ie. Which frequencies are lower or different in new version.
I understand there is an improvement in 1080 video at 60 fps as well. That too is apparently a hardware change. I tend to stay with 4k video but there have been numerous complaints about the dreadful 1080 video at higher frame rates with the older mavic.
Hi Jürgen, we will test it. One of the reasons I hated the old mavic was because of this :) thanks for your question.
Nice review! Thanks for sharing. Wonder if the new propellers will work more quietly and efficiently on the older Mavic. The new propellers are available seperatly?
Hi Carlos. thanks for your comment, we will be testing that this week as most of you have been asking. Thanks!
I would like to learn about battery care. There seems to be much different information on the subject. Specifically regarding how to discharge to the storage level. Thank you
Great review. I actually stayed awake! Entertaining and informative. Usually the droning comes from the boring 'presenters'! Nice.
Thanks Tristan! :)
Was thinking of the platinum to replace my phantom 3a and complement my pro . good thing I waited and got the 2 instead
Nice report, but where's the comparison of the MP with the new props, to see if noise or battery duration is helped by the props only? Oh yeah, you need a better mic setup, your audio has too much echo. Try a "Blue Yeti" mic, they work well for TH-camrs. $125

What is your thoughts on the Mavic Pro "Max Mod Kit"?
Nice work. Love my Mavic. Just subbed your channel for more
for the price difference in fly more package deals between Pro and Pro Platinum you can buy a 4th battery and get even more fly time for your money. then put the newer props on your Pro and you'll be good to go.

Thanks George we will do so and tell you :)

Disregard I found the info thank you
Does a hover flight use the same amount of battery power as a dynamic, real-use flight?
How did you get your Mavic Pro Platinum so early? I preordered mine on B&H and it still hasn’t come in. I heard there was a delay. Where did you order yours?

Unless I missed it, you never answered the question which is in part the title of your video, is it worth it... Is it?
You should dispense with focussing on your shoes and jeans. It's a real turnoff; stick to the topic. Other than that minor complaint, I like your videos, and the technical aspects they bring to the discussion.
test 1080p 60 fps please, whether they have fixed the pixel binning issue of the Mavic Pro
Hey Good night. Which drone do you recommend for photos and videos that travels long distances with real-time fpv wi-fi? mavic 2, mini 2, mavic platinum or zino pro mini hubsan?
DJI AIR 2 S.
@@WeTalkUAV thanks friend
Does the mavic platinum run the same firmware as the mavic pro ?
A or C weighting on the audio meter?
Great video, thank you
Thanks for your nice, informative & well produced video!
Does the Mavic need internet set up and updates?
Could you run the mavic pro platinum batteries in the standard mavic?
For me the motor sound frequency profile is better - more bee than wasp. Sinusoidal driver pluses over square-wave.
What will the new FOC/ESC's mean for top speed? Will the motors (potentially) spin at higher revs?
We will test that too, thanks gareth. I believe it won't as the FOC will just be more efficient but maintaining same speed.
Thanks for replying, I really like your channel. "I have a Mavic, I have a Spark, comparison", lol:)
You may have to "hack" it to see what top speed it will do...
My question is, do the Filters of the Mavic Pro fit on the Platinum or do is the lens size different? Because in your video you only have a Filter on the Pro. Thanks in advance. ^_^
They fit perfectly :)
Great video as usual.. Even though the new mavic platinum propellers fit the original mavic, what is the noise reduction on using them on the original mavic ? Is this worth buying the newer props I wonder 🤔
Hi Rich, thanks for your comment. We will be doing a few tests as lots of you have been asking us to do so :)
Hey Alex! Ph4 pro or mavic platinum for weddings? :>
Hi Nagan, I've been always a big fan of the p4p and right now I believe there's no drone capable of challenging that quality :)
so so cool
Y did u use a pro battery on the Platinum?
How did you get your platinum??? Ordered mine and was supposed to get it on fist shipment of September,, then dji sends me an email saying confirming shipping for mid to late October,,😠😠😠😠😠
Good job!!
What Camera are you using for the vlog?
sony a6500 :)
wil be there a succecor of this mavic pro platinum with improving in camera quality 4k 60fps and better specs
MAVIC PRO PLATNUM WITH 2 extra batterys a car charger travle bag charging hub great customer service and a one year warrenty!
How Long is the flight Time from the old Mavic pro with the new propellers? without these information the Video have no authorization
Hi S F, we will do the tests so that you can give us that authorization :D! Stay tuned!
Turn off the background music while you're doing a noise level comparison.
I would stay with the old one !
Great video super helpful! - subscribed!
I wish I could buy a normal mavic pro
Costco, Original Mavic Pro $999.00 in Hawaii / 10 -14 - 2017 .. not sure where you live
its 699

Don't you drive for Ferrari in F1?
You remind me of the Sherminator :D
MG yeah i also notice that .. lol.. #AMERICANPIE
god that shit music just fucked a potentially great review
1:37 THe battery is the SAME
SkyS1gn take a deep breath and watch the whole video please before talking nonsense :)
triciasyable because it's white? Because it makes it harder to see in the sky? Lol, sure.
triciasyable u know u can buy scins for mavic, like 5000 different ones?
But...you didn't say if it's worth it!
Hovering is not a real world test people fly them they don’t just hover
It is a real test when both do the same exact thing and one lasts longer than the other. In any case, IMO it is better to spend the extra $100 on an additional battery and the new platinum propellers and get the original Mavic Pro. You'll get longer flight time than the platinum and just as quiet...
Heads up. Okay the ESCs are also different so your lack of mentioning so made me exit the video. You mentioned there are only two things different.
Garz seriously. This video is completely invalidated by not mentioning this. Ridiculous.
Did you guys watched the WHOLE video? I doubt it. Cause in it he DOES mention that the batteries are exactly the same and that the new FOC ESC drivers is what's accounting for the longer battery life.
Wrong!!!!!! Battery is exactly the same, DJI improved the ESC, not battery.
SHIELD AM Fun he says the battery is the same in the video
hi bro! Would appreciate you watch the video without listening to music :D jk
I posted this comment when you said about the battery incressed 3 min in the beginning of the video, about at the 1 min mark, witch is not accurate. But the info that you give out in the restof the video is correct, and I foget to add additional info to my comment. No offence.
extremely unprofessional to play music in such review, so that you cannot HEAR the drones. WHY????
decibels can be achieved buy just buying platinum props and wack em on the standard drone £12
Painted silver …LoL
pretty face? XD
Oof..... wack af. Someone needs to make a decent review video on these.
no its a con exactly same as mavic just light in colour
I see the battery is same colour as original mavic. ? they state mavic batterie last 27 mins I'm getting 21 mins normal flight , so don't trust what you read
Music interfered with the video, rolled up skinny jeans is gay, didn't give opinion toward the question in the video title. Useless TH-cam video.
