Quality built with a top notch camera
Rating: 5
The Mavic 2 Pro is an absolute joy to fly. I have owned many drones and the Mavic 2 is the absolute best one yet. The drone build is very high quality. I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but the photos and videos are amazing. #sweepstakes

Good things in small packages.

So far the Mavic is rockin'. For the value it is pretty incredible though some of the key features I was interested in (timelapse, etc.) aren't as out of the box as many might have led us to believe. Still, the quality and durability of the product is great. #sweepstakes

Amazing service
Rating: 5
Great to do business with. Although DJI raised the price of their mavic 2 pro drone, these guys honoured the original price found on their site plus they gave an additional item as a perk. (32GB memory card). And they shipped item on time. Love Buydig.com

Asimilar and Similar but I have no clue
Rating: 5
Absolutely, imperfect. Requires as-many accessories as men have a need to shave every day. And, for some reason, its price is strangely-similar to that of the new iPhones released earlier this month: Is this a coincidemce or something else, hmmmm Eric

Newer upgraded mavic with more power
Rating: 4
Awesome drone, but the Phantom 4 has slightly better video resolution. The mavic 2 is still a great drone. The original mavic and the Phantom 4 had some minor electronic glitches and had to be returned. All DJI drones are above-average, but the DJI Phantom 4 Pro is the one I would recommend.
