When you do a sound test, stop yapping. The viewers at home want to hear the sound difference between the two drones too.

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.

Perhaps when your testing for sound, you might try not talking while taking the readings.

Best line... "He has two balls in his mouth."

I love to see adult men unite in shared enthusiasm, over technological toys for big boys. 😂

11:57 B laughing at Kelly saying "I'll do it from behind" xD

You're testing how loud they are WHILE SHOUTING LOUDLY SO THE MICROPHONE CAN HEAR YOU OVER THE MAVIC lol.
ffs

[RichardBronosky]

12:43 your voice is louder than the drone, that's why you have to keep changing your numbers.

You guys are very professional! Thanks. It is new props for my gray one.

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

Just the info. I was looking for. As of May 2018, I'm on the fence as to waiting for the Mavic Pro II or grabbing the original Mavic on one of these amazing sales I've been seeing. The Mavic Pro II looks like it will be worth waiting for but for the price difference, and my preference for buying something that's been on the market and proven for a while, I think the Platinum may be a good option for me, at least in May 2018 definitely worth the $100 difference. Cheers!

'Keep it facing forwards, I'll do it from behind"
LOL

Did you use the original Mavic battery in the Platinium?

Great video, love the quaity and depth however when reading the DB's on the sound test, your voice wouldve increassed the sound the meter picked up so not sure how that wouldve effected the results

[adirakessler]

So I see that the Pro vs. Platinum has some differences. The Mavic 2 Pro is now out. Can you do a comparison between the 2 and the Platinum?

[maciejhalicki]
