CNET Editor's rating of DJI Mavic Pro
The good: The DJI Mavic Pro's compact foldable design makes it more travel friendly than any other camera drone with similar capabilities. Its gaming-style controller is equally compact, but still has all the controls you need to fly and control the camera and it can be piloted with only an iOS or Android device. Battery life is very good for a small quadcopter.
The bad: The phone mount is a little awkward to use. Not user repairable. Camera lens is a little narrow for landscapes.
The bottom line: If you've been looking for a discreet, but powerful travel-friendly camera drone, look no further than the DJI Mavic Pro.
