I agree with you Rick. I say buy what you want now and get what you want later. We’ll never have it all and we won’t live long enough to get it all either.
No rush here more time to save the money lol,besides really loving the MA2
Really liked your video and the way you gave some insight to the Enginerring logic behind the scenes. You also strike me as really cool guy! Stay flying! Liked and subscribed!
But, isn’t it waiting for mavic mini 2 is a better option?
Mavic 4 is going to be great
a lot of drones… Whats your favorite for a commercial footage in 2020??
Nah, I’ll fly my mavic pro till the 3 comes out.
Just bought the mavic air 2 and also bought best but geek squad protection for any extra 300 dollars ontop of the combo pack. Can anyone truly recommend the protection plan or is it a waste of 300 dollars please help!
I have the Mavic 2 Zoom! I ordered it from DJI and was flying it a week Later! I ordered a Skydio 2 back in September and just got it in January! Go figure!
With the still average camera quality on drones due to small sensor sizes, an upgrade to the mavic 3 is very worth it! It could give way better photos if it has a larger sensor.
If Skydio and EVO can sell it for about the same price as the Mavic 2 Pro then they better not raise the Mavic 3’s price.
I like the mini an the mavic air 2,but o choose the mini because it’s more affordable for me,o know it doesn’t have the sensors like it’s prodecessors,but I’ll upgrade to a autel evo 2,soon,o like some of its features over the mavics,like you don’t have to have your phone always when you wanna fly,the controller has a built-in screen so you can see,the phone or ipad simply allows you a bigger picture to see when flying, also I like how you can get different camera styles for your drone such as infrared for night vision an for serch an rescue missions or whatever, if they had improved the follow me mode or tracking mode,then the autel evo 2 is the best almost by far next to the mavic 2 pro an mavic air 2,just some of my thoughts an I do like the skydio 2 as well.
Thank you so much for this. Mavic 2 it shall be 🙂
Lol. Yes the DJI tech was reverse engineered from a flying saucer that crashed in Roswell China after the aliens ignored the low battery warnings on their spaceship.
Hi, by any chance, any update on Mavic 3 ?

The controller on the Zoom and 2 Pro are outdated as well as the flight time. Im sure that the 3 will have image stabilization, interchangeable lenses, optical zoom, and a host of other features that will be more than "incremental." Young pilots today lack patience and I can verify this as a commercial UAS consultant and flight instructor. A Mavic 2 Pro or zoom shouldn’t be a first drone period. The Mini and Air 2 are great "starter" drones. I suspect the Mavic 3 to be released by the summer or fall of next year and you will see a lot of impatient buyers kicking themselves because they didn’t wait.
Lidar is coming next for aerial photography and 3D scanning
Great video
You missed something that is a big improvement on the Mavic 3 – 40 MINUTES FLIGHT TIME. What other drone does that other than those aeroplane type drones that cost 10k, plus 10-12km range with M3.
Mavic2Pro or P4Pv2 in late 2020?? Which one would you choose?
Thank you, Rick, that answered a lot of questions for me! MA2 it is then!
I will sell my mavic 2 for 70% price and buy the new mavic 3 if its good
Bit I think i don’t need more.
Fantastic video and insight. For me I’m the new owner ( 3 weeks ) of a refurbished as new mavic 1 , my first ever drone and love it. I can see myself flying this for the next year at least , by then the 2 would prob drop in price and I’ll upgrade
Thanks again from Melbourne Australia.
I am looking at the Skydio 2 and the Evo2.I have the Mini 2 as my 1st drone.The camera specs are fine.Not looking for any better.I’m not lookin for follow me being used in amongst the trees and down foot paths following a bike though i would be flying amongst field edges and amongst tree tops so the Skydio and it’s capabilities aren’t really needed.Now i want OA on top bottom sides and front n back.I don’t want to fly up against the edge of a wooded area and have to either back out or turn around then raise up.I realize wires and small hardwood branches aren’t always seen.I realize a drone flying at a high speed close to the ground can be affected by the forward sensors as i have seen it happen.The Autel evo 2 seems to be what i’m leaning towards as the Mavic Air 2 lacks some sensors.I have heard of twising on the arms of the Autel and a few firmware bugs that will probably be updated down the rd.What’s your opinion on my next drone? Skydio is kinda out of my range once you buy the controller etc.Any help is appreciated.Can you sell me on this Evo2?Thx
Love this channel. Thanks, man.
The epiphany im waiting for. Aside from the drop in price, nothing really holds me back to buy one. Thank you for these insights.
Which is better, the DJI Mavic AIR 2 or DJI Mavic Pro?
Just 5 years ago, you would get your head bit off on some forum boards if you referred to these as "drones". _IT’S A UAV! IT’S A QUADCOPTER NOT A DRONE, GET IT RIGHT!_ My how times changed in such a short span…thankfully.
I will wait for mavic 2 pro to get down in price, maybe get used.
The example which you gave regarding "Revolutionary" & "Evolutionary" was fantastic! Appreciate it. Respect from Calcutta, India.
In the EU we have a new regulatory framework where a new drone classification system will give pilots a lot more freedom with regards to flying closer to uninvolved people. So this new certification will nake waiting a better idea imo
I dont need a better camera or video than i have on my Mini 2. I’m wanting a lil better OA. I’m waiting for the next DJI? Why? I think what i need is already on the market with the Air 2 or Evo 2. Wait for this, wait for that.I do however like the better range of the Evo 2. In midcoast Maine if i fly my Mini 2 300 yds and drop below the tree line into the next field i’m in the red. I need more range even after my add on antenna. I’m talkin winter time with no leaves on the trees.
No way I’m paying for the mavic 3s heavy price tag. These guy’s just keep jacking the price up. I’m happy with the Mavic air 2, all except the geo zones.
The best drone would definitely be mavic air 2 for anyone asking. Amazon sells them and they arrive fast. I got mine a week after release and no regrets whatsoever.
I predict the ‘revolution’ to be fpv functionality, maybe a tri-prop upgrade?
The only reason DJI hadn’t released a Mavic 3 is because they are waiting to see what competitors are doing.
I will wait for the Mavic 3.
My feelings on the matter is I’m getting a pro 2 in about a month and watch the 3 when it comes out. If it’s compelling enough I’ll get one in about a year, give it time to get most of the kinks sorted out. Just got a mini 2 and am living it. Funny but as far as image quality goes it a big step up from my yuneec typhoon h. Easier to launch and fly and more stable.
What would make me upgrade from Mavic 2 Pro to Mavic 3? Two things. 1) Full frame camera sensor and 2) built in optical zoom. Otherwise I feel like I already have the perfect flying platform with a great camera.
this is what revolutionary is for andold dude – lasers… LMAO. I think this grandpa is a little too old to talk technologies, impressed he knows about drones in general.
evo 2 was revolution? it is just bulky copy of mavic 2, lol (that actually copied while mavic 2 series). and by the way, you can actually swap zoom and pro gimbal on mavic 2 platform by yourself without any bigger problem..
It is now January 2021 I am planning to buy a drone probably the next 6 months! Will it be wise to buy the Mavic 2 for the summer of 2020? I live in Greece and I have a lot of great places to go but still not the money for this.
Nothing new…my GoPro karma has swappable cameras…
It doesn’t matter how fast u speak if u keep repeating mindless cliches like “i will talk about that later” “.. which is wonderful ??” “Everything is amazing ..”
If you could just breed the blue one with the orange one you would have it made. I want an evo-skydio
You are so right, a drone and get it up. But what about the rumors of new drone laws and how is that going to effect the market? Like I just purchased the Autel EVO 2 I have the 1 and a DJI Mavic 2 zoom and the way things look fly sky is going to be limited
Rick i need your help..!! I’ve had my mini for 6-7 months now.( just before mini2 !) My problem is I CANNOT get the quick shot options.??? Just NOT THERE. I’ve deleted and reinstalled still no quick shots ?? HELP.. !!
