DJI’s Mavic Pro drone already has fantastic battery life, but it’s still got nothing on its upgraded sibling. Announced on Thursday at IFA 2017 in Berlin, the $1,099 Mavic Pro Platinum’s propellers make it 60 percent quieter than the $999 Mavic Pro, DJI said.
It can also fly for up to 30 minutes, 11 percent longer than its predecessor “Dji Mavic Pro”.
The upgraded drone gets its moniker for its new “sleek platinum finish.” In addition to having a longer battery life, Platinum is also 60 percent quieter than its predecessor.
DJI says it achieved an increase in flight time and significant noise reduction by using some new internal components and freshly designed propellers.
The good news is that the current Mavic Pro model is also compatible with the new propellers, so even older users can lessen the noise their units make.
The drone is targeted at travelers, amateur photographers and outdoor sports enthusiasts who want a little bit more performance than the original Mavic can offer.
