We Talk UAV recently released a DJI Mavic versus DJI Mavic Pro Platinum video, but viewers had more questions regarding the upgraded model. They wanted to know if there was a flight time increase with the new propellers on the original Mavic, and they had other more specific questions. We Talk UAV is all about doing drone reviews and answering viewer questions, so watch our newest video to see the results of our latest tests on the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum:
The four main differences on the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum are the ESCs, three minute increased flight time, new propellers and an overall noise reduction. Those are the main differences that DJI marketed, but people were asking if there was an actual increase in the newer model’s 1080p 60 fps video recording. DJI has yet to make an official comment on the improved 1080p 60 fps claim, but We Talk UAV found a difference in quality. You can watch the video for yourself to compare the drone footage.
