Text below from Press Release:
Introducing the Mavic Pro – a portable, powerful, easy-to-use drone featuring DJI’s most innovative camera and flight technology in a sleek, foldable package that enables creative fun wherever you go.

Mavic Pro is DJI’s first personal drone designed to be taken just about anywhere, small enough to toss in a bag and easy enough to launch quickly whenever the time and place are right. Its unique folding design compresses the entire drone to the size of a water bottle, and its intuitive interface can be controlled by a smartphone – making it easy to take aerial selfies or stream live video from the sky.

Mavic Pro is designed to be portable, with four folding arms and propellers that tuck snugly against its body so it can be easily carried in a purse or backpack. It can be controlled just from a smartphone, can be set up and flying in less than a minute after calibration, and can fly up to 27 minutes on one Intelligent Flight Battery.

Mavic Pro is packed with powerful features despite its small size. DJI’s uncompromising technology now includes our smallest three-axis gimbal for shake-free photos and videos, and a smaller controller that can be used with or without a smartphone attached. The new OcuSync encrypted transmission system has a range up to 4.3 miles (7 km) where it can be done safely and responsibly, and can reach 1080p video resolution for live streaming to Facebook Live, Periscope and YouTube through the DJI GO app.

The redesigned Mavic Pro controller features control sticks that provide tactile feedback to warn of obstacles. Mavic Pro can be operated just from the controller or just from a smartphone – or they can be mounted together with an innovative clamping mechanism to provide a vivid screen view as well as stick controls.

The powerful systems inside Mavic Pro are easy to use, even for beginners. Using just your phone’s touchscreen, you can use TapFly todirect Mavic Pro to go where you want while avoiding obstacles. Mavic Pro’s intelligent image sensors make it easy to take the perfect aerial selfie with Gesture mode, which recognizes your movements to locate you, center you in the frame and take just the right shot. Flashing lights on Mavic Pro will count down to the photo while you strike your best pose. And sharing images and videos from the DJI GO app is easier than ever.

Mavic Pro integrates all this technology to help you unleash your creativity by seeing the world in a new way and capturing it in breathtaking professional-quality photos and videos. Mavic Pro records 4K video at 30 fps and full 1080p HD at 96 fps, with a minimum focusing distance of just 19 in (0.5 m). Its 12-megapixel camera with Adobe DNG RAW support has been expertly tuned for aerial images, and it can be flipped 90 degrees to a new portrait mode to shoot vertical photos and videos as well.

An updated version of DJI’s ActiveTrack recognizes common subjects such as people, bicyclists, cars, boats and animals, then sends Mavic Pro to follow behind, lead in front, track alongside or circle the subject – or even keep the camera focused on the subject while you control Mavic Pro’s movements. A new Terrain Follow mode to race up a slope behind a subject while remaining at a constant height from 1 ft (0.3 m) to 33 ft (10 m).

To experience the joy of flying, Mavic Pro can be switched to Sport Mode, which allows speeds up to 40 mph (64.8 kph) where it can be done safely, and increases the drone’s agility and responsiveness to provide a racing-like experience. At the other extreme, new Tripod Mode drops Mavic Pro’s maximum speed to just 2.2 mph (3.6 kph) and reduces the sensitivity of the control inputs, to allow precision positioning for photography as well as to make it easier to fly indoors or in other confined spaces.

Mavic Pro also pairs with new immersive DJI goggles, displaying a 90-degree view from the drone in full 1080p right in front of your eyes for a true bird’s-eye view of your world. The goggles use OcuSync to display video directly from Mavic Pro, not the controller, reducing lag to an incredible 120 milliseconds. You can direct Mavic Pro through the sky while wearing the goggles – looking down will tilt the camera down, while looking left or right will change the direction of flight. You should always follow applicable laws and regulations when flying with goggles, and you can even give the goggles to someone else to wear while you fly.

The technological advances in Mavic Pro make flying it a worry-free experience for first-time pilots, bringing the excitement of flight and the creative possibilities of aerial imaging to everyone. Mavic Pro’s network of five sensor cameras includes an obstacle avoidance system to help prevent forward-facing collisions in flight, spotting obstacles as far as 49 ft (15 m) ahead at speeds up to 22 mph (36 kph). It also uses downward-facing sensors and barometric readings to detect a rising slope on the ground beneath the drone and automatically move it to a safer height.

Mavic Pro remains stable and flies smoothly in winds up to 24 mph (38.5 kph), and uses DJI’s GEO geofencing system to help identify restricted areas, automatically prevent flight in locations that raise safety or security concerns, and help pilots make smart decisions about where and when to fly.

As with all DJI drones, Mavic Pro is set to automatically return to its launch location if it ever loses contact with the controller or reaches a critically low battery level. The new Precision Landing system records a burst of video with two stereo cameras every time Mavic Pro launches, then uses the videos and GPS information when it returns to land within an inch of where it took off. And if a pilot lets go of the controls, it will simply hover in place.

An optional new protection plan, DJI Care Refresh, is available to provide peace of mind for Mavic Pro owners. DJI Care Refresh covers accidental damage to the Mavic Pro’s aircraft, gimbal or camera during normal use for up to 12 months, and for an additional charge will offer up to two full replacements that are new or equivalent to new. DJI Care Refresh is available before a new Mavic Pro is activated or within the first 48 hours after activation. PRICE?

Mavic Pro’s U.S. retail price will be $999, and additional Mavic Pro Intelligent Flight Batteries will cost $89. A Mavic Pro Fly More Combo, which includes a Mavic Pro, two extra Intelligent Flight Batteries, extra propellers, a charging hub, an adapter, a car charger and a shoulder bag, will be available for $1,299.
