DJI - Mavic 2 Enterprise Series

Hei! I think you've been looking at the wrong case! The Matrice 4T comes in a rather compact case without wheels. The M30T (and M300/350) are much larger, and come with a charging case on top of the drone case. I have the M4E and it's brilliant, I'm sure you'd love the M4T. I had an M2EA (which is really similar to the M3T), and it wasn't nearly as nice.

Is the RTK actually tagging with any kind of time accuracy on the M30 series? It doesn't on the M2EA/M3T/M4T/H20/H30...so you only get an accurate tag if the drone is hovering, which makes them useless for mapping.

If you want something like a DJI Mini/Air/Mavic, you're not going to get much from what are basically cheap knockoffs. If you want FPV pieces (frames/motors/transmitters...), or even full builds (Nazgul, BetaFPV...), AliExpress is pretty much the #1 source.

Either you really do it from scratch, and that's going to be HARD. Or you buy some Lego blocks that will already do everything, and then, what's the point, a DJI Mini/Air/Mavic would absolutely demolish it for equal cost.

In your budget what you'll be looking at is essentially a phone camera on a capable drone. 1/2" chip, fixed focus, nailed to a 2.8 iris and glass the size of a dime. You'd have to step up to a used Mavic 2 (1" cmos hasslebald camera) or greater for a decent sized sensor that shoots raw or log gamma.

I taped a 360 camera to a Mavic 2 and it flew fine.

If you're interested in drones and you don't have $300-500 to spend on an entry-level DJI, it's going to be a good toy to learn the basics. I feel like a lot of people spend way too much money on the expensive entry-level drones, only to find out they don't really have an interest in them. I started on a $100 Holy Stone and was hooked. I learned the basics, crashed and repaired it, then upgraded to a DJI Mavic 2. I'm a GIS Analyst by trade, so I was interested in aerial imagery and Lidar. I now use mine more for recording high-quality photos for "skins" on 3D rendered map structures made from lidar

This is the hardest part for me. I use my drones for business and I’ve only had to have a replacement once when an error caused my Mavic 2 to land in a lake. BUT, flying without DJI Care or any way to get an issue fixed makes me incredibly anxious. I do have separate gear insurance that includes my drones but if new sales become prohibited, that won’t help me replace a drone.

I've got my Mavic2 and I'm sitting tight.

I just bought a mini 4 pro from DJI-us to do real estate work but I’m still stoked on it. I’m sure the 5 pro is better but my last drone was a Mavic 2 back in 2020 or 2021 so this 4 pro will be awesome. Thanks for sharing this pic though! Pretty cool to see

Grab a 2 they are great!

Well guys, I bought the drone 5 years ago. After a year I spent my time otherwise and didn't find the time and motivation for my drone hobby. But now I really want to start again. Well though on paper the Mavic 3 for example is better, the quality of footage you can get with the Mavic 2 today is still amazing too. What do you guys think?

I thought about selling the Mavic 2 and get the Mini 4k instead because of the new software and simplicity. But as i already got a former flagship drone I thought that might be stupid for me. But the minis are really cool!

The minis are cool but I would keep that Mavic. Even for work unless you're in a windy place or need thermal, londer flight time they are the way to go. But get the Mini 4 Pro or the Mini 2SE. I have an 2SE that is a beast I can't get rid of it. I have tried it went in the pool a week ago and I thought for sure that was it...nope I flew it this morning. When I got new drones I really put it to the test 😂 it's a good drone
