When you do a sound test, stop yapping. The viewers at home want to hear the sound difference between the two drones too.
Will do! Thanks for the comment!
Lol, seriously. "I'm going to test the decibel level by standing just as close as the sound source and shout on top of it!"
agreed, a good video spoilt by annoying verbal decibel readouts during comparison, i wanted to actually hear the drones running not the yapping
Yes, my thoughts exactly! Why shout loudly whilst doing a sound test??
Honestly I am glad your read out the decibel levels since we could not see the meter. Thank you.
I love to see adult men unite in shared enthusiasm, over technological toys for big boys. 😂
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.
Ed Felty exactly, the props change the frequency more than the volume. We hear it less, as does the device.
@unrepeatable raddish YEAH I AGREE, AND THERE NOT £100 LOL around £10
Perhaps when your testing for sound, you might try not talking while taking the readings.
Fair point, but the microphone on the decibel meter has a directional pickup pattern, so us talking behind the meter has very little impact. Thanks for watching.
And, of course, *you're**
Lol
He literally watches it switch 3 times, tells what he sees, watches three more changes then speaks... 🤦🏻♂️
Would have been a better test to hold the drone in one spot and sit the mic in one spot so that the position is exactly the same. I get it, just a simple comparison and the platinum is noticeably quieter.
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
Best line... "He has two balls in his mouth."
I enjoyed the "...and I'll do it from behind...", myself. :)
Get your mind out of the gutter
🤣
11:57 B laughing at Kelly saying "I'll do it from behind" xD
The quality of these vids is insane
So much good info packed in this video, yes it's not a scientific comparison but its a great and very honest reference!
Drone POWEEEEEEERRR... ohh yeaahh SUBSCRIBED =]
Sweet!
You guys are very professional! Thanks. It is new props for my gray one.
thanks for a great video. Wish I would have seen it before I bought my Mavic drone but I am very happy with it
'Keep it facing forwards, I'll do it from behind"
LOL
@@PublicTVChannel nope :)
you guys are the best making these vids!
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
You're testing how loud they are WHILE SHOUTING LOUDLY SO THE MICROPHONE CAN HEAR YOU OVER THE MAVIC lol.
ffs
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
You guys did a great job breaking it all down! Now I know what to buy so thanks for the effort!
Greatest drone comparison video i've every seen. So funny and interesting to watch! You guys were a great team in this one :) Thank you all for the info and the final test at the end. Answered all my questions!
Awesome video! I just got my Mavic Pro today after using a Spark for 3 months. This video was very informative, new platinum props already purchased and on route
Thanks for the good video. It would be interesting, how long the "old" Mavic flies with the new props. Did you test that?
This was excellent! Thank you both so much!
That is AWESOME! I love the MAVIC PRO so much we had to go get one ourselves.
Time to order some new props!!! And props to you on the awesome video!! 👍
Thanks!
Sweet....great review guys.....keep up the good work
thank you for the great video guys! Really informative and helpful.
Thanks!
You know this is an excellent video. Good job . Very insightful ,fun and informative .
Thanks! We really enjoyed making it.
+pablo9364 Your comment looks fake AF I'd say a generated...
Great job, thanks guys.
I wonder if the lower rpm on the grey Mavic with new blades will be more demanding on the motors in the way of torque (the thrust or lift required has not changed)? If that was the case, motor life could be reduced.
Thanks again Kelly for another great review! And don´t forget to test which has better maneuverability and acceleration (for instance in the time necessary to get to 400 ft of height). Cheers from Argentina!
Thanks! I'm going to do more comparisons (like you mentioned), but this video was already pretty long, so saving it for the next video! Thanks for the comment!
great job thanks
Great test guys!!! Thanks for the comparison.
Great video, thank you!
Thanks guys
Great video, simple, direct and very useful
*Great comparison!*
This was very thorough. Thanks.
I’m reeeeallly excited to get my Mavic Platinum next week!
UnderTheLens _ lolololol
Andrew Andron how can you afford it, they’re so much money
PresGaming, I can’t actually. I’m 54 and started this hobby a couple years ago with the Phantom 3 Professional. I don’t spend really any money on myself so my wife had no troubles with me spending a little on myself for a change. I’ve come to the realization I’ll never be rich, but I’m not going to deprive myself of the thing that reeeeally enjoy. If you want something bad enough, you’ll find a way. :-)
Andrew Andron awesome, Thankyou for replying, and for the good advice😀👍
No Problem :)
AWESOME VIDEO! THANKS FOR SHARING!
cheers for the review :)
Interesting video guys. I am seriously looking at a Mavic to add to my collection. The differences seem a little subtle but for only an additional 100.00 I would just shoot for the platinum.
Cheers

best review video i love how the dog came back haha
Yeah, great video!! Thanks for the info!!!
That was a great review!
Really great video! Helped a lot
So glad you did the penultimate test with the later props on the Mavic Pro 1. I have the MP1, with later style props and was willing you, from my sofa, to do the test.
Excellent review Kelly & B!!
such a good quality video gj
The escs shouldn't make a difference in flight time, the new escs are most likely running a digital protocol which allows for smoother flight rather than longer flights
A great test guys I have a phantom 4 pro I will add the platinum to my fleet. Well done
For a real treat, compair the Platinum to the Mavic Air.. The Air sounds like a swarm of bees !
That was an awesome and so interesting review...I have a Spark and also the P4P+ just got a few weeks ago and really trying to hold back on another drone since I’m scared of my wife! Lol.
These are just superb
Good info. I'd be interested in some flight times with the Maverick Pro and the new props.
That's cool test...very informative updates i need.
I need one of those for my channel
God I love them
Great video (great info + well produced + great sound), thanks!! (liked, subscribed, already bought my Mavic, so 2 out of 3 :)
Thanks!
Great video guys, just got out of surgery and was awesome to be able to watch you guys togother again. Keep up the great work Kelly and B and of course all the guys behind the scenes. Love you keep it real with the dog interrupting. It happens to all of us, lol. Cheer and Happy Flying guys!!!
Thanks Donnie - hope you are recovering nicely!
Ready Set Drone I will be back running in no time. 😉👍
Yes, excellent video!! Thanks!
Just ordered the platinum pro! So excited 💯💯
Carluuchio Had mine since February. Your going to love it.
Great video. Very informative and helpful. I’ve been in the market for my first real (non-toy) drone and, I’ve been looking at the Mavic Pro and the Mavic Air. I had been leaning towards the Pro and now, I think I’m getting the Mavic Pro Platinum based on this video. Thanks for the comprehensive comparison.
If you don't already own a drone, the Mavic Pro Platinum is worth the extra $100 or so.
Thanks guys great review your last test was the most reviling to me with the RPM's and new props. I didn't think it was worth the 100.00 but you showed me I was wrong, so I've ordered my new prop's Thanks
+RICK HALBUR Awesome!
Well done, guys. On the flight time tests, I think you need to account for the fact that you used the new Mavic Platinum batteries for both drones; could it be that the Platinum batteries are optimised to improve flight (in the Platinum drone) and may therefore account for why both drones only show a slight variation in flight times? What if you tested the drones with their respective custom batteries?
Really great practical tests! It must have taken a lot of effort to make this video. I ended up buying the platinum and doing a quick review on my channel and for SCMP(South China Morning Post) after I used it for filming.
Awesome! Thanks for the comment!
Awesome video 🤙🏽
I guess I'm buying a new set of Platinum props! Thanks for the testing. :)
Very informative.
From the video it is awesome
12:43 your voice is louder than the drone, that's why you have to keep changing your numbers.
You are right. They don't realize that ambient noise and vocal projection distort the test values, which nullifies their experiment.
Good job, very good video - I appreciate your time and information. Thank you!
Thanks to you for watching!
Great info guys!
Thanks!
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?
Very important points made and tips thank you very much👍
Awesome! Thanks.
Great video guys.
One more point is that the Platinum runs at lower RPM because my guess is the props have a steeper pitch. With that in mind, I would not run the props on the old one because it might damage the ESC with a load they are not designed for.
Great presentation. I own both and agree with your conclusions.
Amazing review
woohoo, looking forward to watch this ;-)
thanks :) very informative video
Thanks!
the forward movement you speak of is called translational lift effect TLE which happens around 11-15 kts
great vid! Want to get a platinum but don't know how to fly! what toy drone should I practice with?
great video Sir! why did it keep drifting? i thought the Mavic is rock steady! i dont understand why it will last longer in forward flight then hovering
i bought the mavic pro original one! its ok if there is a minute battery difference and it was on sale on blackfriday so the prize is justifiable! good vid!
Question; Has DJI enhanced the build of the gymbal for the Mavic Pro Platinum to avoid the problems some of the standard Mavic Pro's had?
Is there any data suggesting a better gymbal on the Platinum?
Thanks for the VIDS
Great video! Very helpful thanks.
When you purchase the drone from dji, can you use my affiliate link? It's in the description of my last video. Thank you!
The perfect sound measurement would be if they were held in place with something and measured from exactly the same distance, because while flying it's hard to keep the same distance. A few cm makes a lot of difference. The new one is still going to be much quieter like you tested, but the exact difference may differ.
Very nice video
I have searched all of the the internet for a video that is exactly this. 😃
Nice bokeh at the field. Great vid as usual!
Great vid . I currently own the Platinum and couldn't be happier. Quick question...What model Oakley sunglasses are those ? I currently have the turbines but really like the look of those.
That was a very good doggo.
Always turn the controller on first - every single time,
especially when you're going to control something with blades spinning at several thousand rpm.
Very late in the piece but just a quick comment to add, great video comparison there... can't go wrong with a Mavic pro or the Platinum.. both wonderful fliers...!!
Greatt review
Do we have to register/license these MAVIC Pros with any of the local agencies? Thanks, I really enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing.
a test of the mavic with the new propellers and the platinum with the old ones will tell you so much more
These were my thoughts also
They DID test the new props with the Pro.
you've missed the point
and the point is buying every piece of crap with little upgrades?
Great video
Didn’t know Kevin hart love drones
I actually do noise metering a lot in my profession. 3dBA difference is double (or half) the noise level. In reality its a different story because noise is perceived very individually.
they produce a diffrent freq. in my opinion. the platinum props are larger too. lower rpm
I knew the retriever was coming back!! ;) Very funny
That dog was adorable!
Agreed!
NIce review! Thanks!
Thanks!
For me, an extra minute or two is huge for Drone work. But I do like a noisier drone. It helps me to find it in the air when I lose sight which happens more often then I would like.
Thank you both, as a P3S pilot who has learned the bitter lesson of not having a backup drone (3 months in and out of DJI service dept.) I will definitely be buying a new drone next year and want to invest in a Mavic. This video was immensely helpful.
Awesome! Glad to hear it. You will love the Mavic!
Thanks for the video. Great comparison. Is it possible the dB was increasing as you we speaking the numbers? When you started speaking, you literally counted up, 89, 90, 91.... I have no idea. Just wondering if those meters are omni-directional?
