      cy6ex - Actually no, the Karma has so many more features on the camera front alone, comes with an carrying case, and a removable and mountable stabilizer. Also (while it is bigger) you don't have to mount your phone to the controller which is much less risky when doing some heavy activities, and the stabilizer on the mavic is notorious for having issues. Just an opinion though.

      The mavic is a good drone until you need to land in a paddock. The karma has higher clearance so when you take off you don’t have grass wrapped around the rotors

    @FinancialEducation 7 років тому +88

    Great review! The way I view it is get Mavic if you want some super sick drone features and a very small drone. Get Karma if you want a non fancy average drone, but a removable camera that shoots super high quality video, a handheld gimbal, a backpack, and a controller that doesn't need your phone hooked up to it. I notice a lot of people taking one side or the other but I think it is just awesome we have both these options out there now! Kind of makes all other drones out there a little irrelevant now that we have the Mavic and Karma options. I hope DJI and Gopro keep pushing each out to keep innovating and hopefully keep the prices from getting too high!

    • @cohcoh668

      @BoyZelen 7 років тому

      quick check. Im curious about the Karma for the same reason you described. 1 thing bothers me tho, and thats the fact that karma doesn't have a 'follow me' mode... anyone any ideas when/or GoPro is going to implement this through software updates in the near future?

    • @hollowdog7208
      @hollowdog7208 7 років тому +1

      I agree that having choices is a huge plus. Fanboy attitudes are destructive and simply juvenile.
      I have a pro and plenty happy with it but if no one was pushing competition on it I don't think it would be as good as it is.

  • @cactustweeter2890
    @cactustweeter2890 7 років тому +174

    The DJI mavic Pro is probably the better drone with its better sensors, smaller profile, higher speed, and longer range. However, getting the free gimbal and a GoPro hero 5 when buying the karma in my opinion makes it a better deal.

    • @XDsubcompact
      @XDsubcompact 7 років тому +17

      It all depends on what you're going for. If you want a drone, buy the Mavic. If you want a gopro along with some cool accessories, buy the gopro/karma. Let's be real...the karma isn't a real drone but if you are a casual shooter and want to get some aerial footage with your gopro, then it's a good option. If you're serious about getting aerial footage you won't go anywhere near Karma.

    • @chuckd5877

    Hi Dom,
    Thank you for a very nice comparison. I've watched many videos about DJI Mavic Pro and have decided which one I'm going to buy. Obviously I'm going to try out the Mavic Pro although the Karma seems to be a grate drone as well.
    One again, thanks for the review and comparison.

    Great review bro, and well put video. I see a lot of people talking smack about the "Karma", not you "DOM", I love the honest review, I also love how you did it without all the bashing. A review is just one side to something. Until you've actually experienced it for yourself like this man who clearly has both drones, I'd ease up with all the harsh comments people. With that said I'd like to invest in both drones myself.

  • @Flyfishntn1
    @Flyfishntn1 7 років тому +28

    I have both and have flown them together for last 5 days. Each has its good points. They are different with different missions. You wouldn't fly a B52 mission with a F16 and vise versa. The Mavic is a great drone from the new technology built into it. Stable, fast maneuverable. More range than Go Pro. Better auto land. The go pro however is great at what it is designed for. A camera platform, with a much better camera. The Mavic camera has a lot of glare, with or without the globe. The hero 5 camera is pretty awesome. Add it to the gimbal and it makes great hand held videos. Then you can use it for a under water camera. To do the same with the Mavic you have to buy three additional pieces of equipment at a pretty hefty cost. I like the go pro orbit function better than the point of interest and the reveal function is sweet. It does fly somewhat heavy and requires more power thus a shorter flight time. The Mavic seems to have more safety features, sensors fwd, and can land almost exactly on the spot of take off. My assessment is if I want to fly for fun, fast, and far, (remember line of sight so how far can you really go) fly the Mavic. If I want to go out and take pictures and only carry one bag, Karma hands down.
    GoPro support is much superior to Dji from my experience, plus if you need additional, batteries or props for your Mavic, better order them when you order the Mavic. Sorry for the long reply. I do hope it helped. One other thing, if you are doing videos with the Mavic, I would suggest the tri pod mode. It makes it a slow steady platform.

  • @jonathangould1255
    @jonathangould1255 6 років тому +2

    I’ve gone for the Karma, Back pack, gimbal holder and a GoPro camera together with the built in assistance to the controller has made it a brilliant buy for me. The built in simulator is excellent and map downloads are very good. I’m sure the mavic is better at doing things in similar ways but as a package I think the karma is better value. Offers great pictures and I get to take the GoPro 5 anywhere. Good review enjoyed it even though I felt the mavic was coming out on top as a stand alone drone. For me the accessories out weighed the mavic making the Karma that little bit better. It does fly great.

      It actually does have vents on it, and the DJI promo images all have it flying with the cover on. Apparently those vents are not the greatest and people still report overheats with it on there. I'd say keep it on if you are flying in cold weather and don't care about a little glare though.

The Karma is currently selling with a Hero 6 and all the other accessories for $1299cdn while the Mavic Pro is $1449cdn with the fly more combo 2 extra batteries 3 total!. The only thing that's got me on the karma is I can use the Hero 6 for snowboarding, motorcycling, in my car ect ect. But I like the Mavic Pro as just a dedicated drone. Curious if camera can be upgraded later on?

    • @THDTPSEvents
      @THDTPSEvents 7 років тому +2

      Stick to GoPro for filming on the land only. You can buy the gimble separately which is a nice accessory. The drone is not worth it though. When they recalled the thing, they had a chance to finally get it up to the competition and chose not to. Typhoon does better than GoPro at competing in the drone market, and even it hasn't come close to touching DJI yet.

    • @dcol6
      @dcol6 7 років тому +7

      Kemp Kennedy GoPro is off to a good start for it being their first gen. I feel Karma is meant to be an accessory to your GoPro + filmmaking (not solely to compete against other drones). Still a good value for the amout stuff you get in the entire package. After all the videos I've watched on the Mavic, I'm just not sold on their video quality.

    Great review!!
    I have been debating on which drone to get and I think I will be going with the Gopro Karma Drone. Although the Karma Drone does not have Prox Sensors (which do not prevent you from flying into branches) and few extra flight modes; I think overall it is a more "fixable and manageable" drone.
    If you google "How much does it cost to fix a Mavic Pro" you will come up with many forums with people talking about how high the cost is of fixing the Mavic Pro; their slow repair turnarounds and the fact that DJI does not sell you their parts so you can fix them yourself.
    This is a huge factor for me; if my drone crashes and I need to get it airborne within a few days I will want a drone I can fix myself and get right back into the sky. At least GoPro offers all their parts at Gopro.com that you can easily fix yourself and be flying in no time with their 2 day free shipping.
    I am not paid by GoPro but I stand behind most of their products

    @theory8sf 7 років тому +16

    Mavic for sure is the better drone but Karma is a complete filmmaking set. With the Karma you can change different cameras when Gopro release new models so your picture and video quality gets better in the future. Unlike Mavic your stuck with the same camera. With the fisheye look that most people hate from the Gopro, it can be fix through post or you change settings from wide to linear. Also its possible Gopro can add software features to improve their drone but that my guess. And of course if your not flying the Karma, it can be used hand held, wearable, mountable, and be use underwater.
    I like both and its still hard to choose which one to get. Just gotta ask yourself what kind of content you'll be making.

Keep in mind day you have to turn off HD video to the phone for 4K to be enabled, this only means the video on the phone is 720P and not 1080P. Not to much of a difference and you won't see the difference.
    My SD card was formatted ExtFat, and it was set to cache 2GB since I was running a 64GB card. Over all it was a good first time up, but not sure if I was missing something or if you may have misstated the 4K frame rate?

    Did you notice any video lag more on one vs the other? My old ar drone had terrible video lag made FPV nearly impossible. I know this is a completely different level and not using Wifi. Just curious what kind of lag to expect. Thanks

    As a hero 5 owner who wants a drone and the karma grip, do I spend the extra money and get the mavic + the karma grip? Or will the karma be sufficient despite lacking some flying features

  • @luggage12345
    @luggage12345 7 років тому +8

    If you think GoPro hero 5 is a good way to decide to buy the Karma, don't. Hero 5 quality wasn't that great which is why I returned it over for the Sony FDR-X3000. Also, I have the mavic and it's amazing.

    Excellent review. I don't know why people have to hate on this review but you brought both drones out and explained them both well. I see the Mavic is much better with the video as well as some features like follow and longer battery life and more compact, but I do like that you get a Hero 5 and a grip plus backpack with the other. I can use the grip for a lot of things when your out and about doing other things then flying. It is a complete package. Thanks again.

  • @ZLL668
    @ZLL668 7 років тому +23

    You didn't mention the smart flight modes in Mavic that Karma lacks. Also 3 times the range with Mavic, obstacle avoidance etc ..all are important features for a non-professional drone...and, how could that backpack, or black Karma coffin as many would call it, be a benefit? Shouldn't GoPro pay its customers to carry a heavy load like that??? No, DJI didn't include a free case ...because it fits in your small carry on bag.
    I also want to add that, besides Mavic and Karma, there are other drones that deserve mentioning. Yuneec Tyhoon, Autel XStar Premium etc. they are still better than Karma, with obstacle avoidance, lighter weight(karma weighs over 4 lbs, more than a Typhoon H) ... Mavic is an engineering feat, in a league of its own. Karma should be compared to a Phantom or Typhoon H.

    • @VTCDrone
      @VTCDrone 7 років тому +2

      chen yanfu Exactly, it is the case of Woodman market strategy back fired. Even though Yuneec came closer to unseat DJI than Karma, but no significant bad comment. When people see something as unfair, they have tendency to react strongly. And when those comment turned into public outcry, it is hard to stop!
      Karma should have started with "Hollywood in the bag" since the beginning, instead of "I am better than DJI" and have all major media echo that message :)

    • @ZLL668
      @ZLL668 7 років тому +8

      ahhaha, honestly please don't even argue about price and needing an extra screen because where in this world is someone not with there phone... yeah exactly nowhere is someone without it. yes the karma has some extra stuff that comes with it but thats to make up for how bad they know it is. camera quality's not the best but hey if you like the way gopro's look thats all your choice but don't argue over simple thing when you know damn straight the mavic comes back with the W because of what it can do plus it does everything better. also if you think it doesn't have that many thing to offer then you just have no clue about any of these products and are ignorant.

    DJI cronies losing there shit everytime someone finds any type of value in another drone. for someone who does more action shooting on the ground/in the water then in the air and has multiple go pros to keep the editing streamlined, the new karma has great value. considering the grip is 300 bucks and something I actually want more then the drone itself I am getting a good drone for less than 500 and works with my existing set up.
    DJI is great but try not to freak out when some one doesn't like the same thing you like this isn't grade school

    This is the worst comparison ever. you got all messed up with packages and options and prices, and it looks like you have just read the informations on both websites instead of having actually flown both drones (the Karma is really, like really, one of the worst drones of the year, it is huge, has no or little options, has the worst remote ever, and needs a GoPro to function. Also, it has some very cheap hardware compared to the smaller, but way better, Mavic. It just feels like a cheap toy.).
