“The Mavic 4 Pro does deliver better traditional image quality, while the Avata 360 has far more creative flexibility. So, it's not replacing my Mavic 4 Pro for filming cars, but it opens up a whole new world of creative possibilities.”

“And I'm really happy because I do use my RC 2 Pro a lot for flying and now it's nice that I can bring my Avata 360 with me and just bring the one controller.”

PortabilityCriticised: Reviewers are critical.Heavier, bulkier, and non-folding—less portable than rivals.3 reviews›
Complaints (4)
