  3. Chris Hernandez on March 21, 2022 at 6:22 pm

    I’m looking for a good Search and Rescue drone out of the drones you’re showing. Which one would you recommend? I’m Part 107 as well.

  9. 12th Root of 2 on March 21, 2022 at 6:31 pm

    Hi Kelly — Your video is quite accurate and informative overall, but please go back and edit the part at 13:52 where you mention that the Phantom 4 Pro is limited to 30 FPS. Both t



  10. Stevy Garcia on March 21, 2022 at 6:34 pm

    What about the DJI Spark. Did they discontinue it?



  11. Aws on March 21, 2022 at 6:35 pm

    Thanks for your time, helped me a lot what to choose



  12. Sudburydrone on March 21, 2022 at 6:35 pm

    Bought the 2 pro a while back and never looked back 👍👍✌️



  13. Billy Bobs on March 21, 2022 at 6:35 pm

    Dam u good at the video maken now wich would u recomend im lookn for the 500 to 1000 range



  14. Sam Bat on March 21, 2022 at 6:36 pm

    Awesome explanation!



  15. Von Neo Gozos on March 21, 2022 at 6:37 pm

    Im new to drones, but are they all foldable ??



  16. James Bird on March 21, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    What is your opinion of FPV drones, wondering if you would do a review of them thanks again .. cheers



  17. Brad Alston RiverCityRVA on March 21, 2022 at 6:39 pm

    Wow Kelly, thanks for all of that information on all of the DJI drone family. As one who has flown almost all of these drones, I really think the Mavic Air 2 is the all-around best drone for most people. At the professional level I do believe, from your high-level review, the Mavic Pro 2 with the 1" sensor would be the best for sure. Thanks again for taking the time to put this all together and sharing Kelly!

  19. James Bird on March 21, 2022 at 6:41 pm

    Thanks Kelly great review, helps me move closer to my decision have been into photography since I was 10 years old helped parents owned a business now I am wanting to step it up to the drone world. I had my heart set on the mavric air 2 but now thinking mavric 2 pro would be the go to drone. To me the big one is the lense hassleblad has been the camera Dad used for professional work . I am also interested in what is the best software for post editing and where does one find good audio to add to your finished product. Thanks again for such great and clear advise.



  20. GoVideos on March 21, 2022 at 6:42 pm

    Great video. Can the mini 2 be flown during windy condition?



  21. runeburman on March 21, 2022 at 6:43 pm

    Many thanks for yet another excellent video! Actually the upcoming version of the FlyLitchi app will add to the functionallity to both Mavic Mini and Mini 2. An evelualtion license is availible through the iOS apps Test Flight and Litchi for DJI Drones. Then the FlyLitchi app will add to the functionallity to all of these drones. Among other things that app has a very advanced system for the use of waypoints. Another consideration is the use of DJI Goggles. Currently they work only with the Phantom and the Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom, which is too bad.



  22. Phong Quach on March 21, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    Thanks for sharing! Good info!



  23. christian jacob leongson on March 21, 2022 at 6:46 pm

    Is air2 different from air 2s?



  24. Cameron Morgan on March 21, 2022 at 6:47 pm

    V2.0 does have 4K @ 60 fps fyi



  25. Tim Moss on March 21, 2022 at 6:48 pm

    Kelly thanks so much for this video this is exactly what I was looking for a side by side comparison and I was set to go with the Mavic Air 2 until you showed me that it didn’t have some sensors so hands down my choice is the Mavic 2 Pro with all sides sensors for what I will be using it for.



  26. Fly Wright Drones on March 21, 2022 at 6:48 pm

    Doesn’t seem like 7 months since you did a comparison video like this.



  27. Ursa Major65 on March 21, 2022 at 6:48 pm

    Good review but why use 2 cameras! It’s so annoying when it keeps switching to the camera you’re not looking into!!



  28. Cameron Orosco on March 21, 2022 at 6:50 pm

    Awesome video, thank so much for the great comparison. Will definitely be subscribong. I am a complete newbie to drones, but I am looking to get my FAA Part 107 license and eventually start flying drones professionally. Do you recommend any of these, or should I just go straight into something like the Inspire 2?



  29. Donovan W. on March 21, 2022 at 6:50 pm

    Really helpful info! Thank you!



  30. Renato Silva on March 21, 2022 at 6:52 pm

    This guy is very good



  31. Duane Reed on March 21, 2022 at 6:53 pm

  32. Jim Davis on March 21, 2022 at 6:55 pm

    Thank you for the great information. Much appreciated.



  33. Twobarpsi on March 21, 2022 at 6:57 pm

    Looks like I should get the mavic 2!



  34. Keelo Raz on March 21, 2022 at 7:00 pm

    brilliant video.



  35. elison garcia on March 21, 2022 at 7:05 pm

    Great video. Thanks



  36. Addy Overbeeke on March 21, 2022 at 7:05 pm

    Nice collection of DJI drones Kelly. I have four of them and just added the Skydio 2 to my arsenal of drones…. Thanks for all you do for the droning community. Stay healthy and happy.



  37. MasterP DJ on March 21, 2022 at 7:07 pm

    I agree, I have all of those drones and I like MA2 the best out of all of them. Can’t wait to see their new FPVish drone coming out soon. Do you have a tester already LOL



  38. Davin Cheirs on March 21, 2022 at 7:07 pm

    Wow! Thank you so much, shopping for a Christmas gift 🎁 for my son and had no idea about the differences and why the prices are so different on Amazon. Thanks a bunch!!!! Happy Holiday’s Sir!!!! 😃



  39. Y on March 21, 2022 at 7:07 pm

    I love the content in this video. Great information and shout out to the spec sheet you have on the desktop. Very professional.



  40. Four Aces Farms on March 21, 2022 at 7:08 pm

    Great content here, no BS just straight facts! Thanks for the video, you’ve made my purchasing decision much easier!



  41. Govi Mukunthan on March 21, 2022 at 7:09 pm

    Hi, sir what do you do with the drone after review?



  42. Ezekiel Chery on March 21, 2022 at 7:10 pm

    The Phantom 4 Pro advance and v2 all have 4K 60fps



  43. Darren Adams on March 21, 2022 at 7:10 pm

    Great Video. I have the Mini and the range is very small. One comparison i would love to see and i wish i understood before i bought mine is how well they do in windy conditions. I live near the beach and am always getting warnings about it being to windy. So a comparison to show how well each one of these works on a windy day would be great.

    Thanks for the great video. I’m definitely getting the Air 2



  46. Common Sense Logic and Reason on March 21, 2022 at 7:13 pm

    Great video. The only inaccurate thing is that the Phantom 4 Pro V2 can do 4K at 60fps.



  47. Mike Hrenak on March 21, 2022 at 7:17 pm

    Mav air two is the way I went great price for what u get had it for two months and I love it



  48. K9 on March 21, 2022 at 7:18 pm

    These DJI unites are controlled by China. Reports coming in from Ukraine … China feeding Russia intel drone locations of drone operators.



  49. Stevy Garcia on March 21, 2022 at 7:20 pm

    I’d like to get the Mavic Air 2 but how annoying is it to get it registered?



  50. bestamerica on March 21, 2022 at 7:21 pm


    which one drone is made in america
