    Trusted ReviewsHands-on review · 2025

    Judged the best premium consumer drone he has reviewed, an enthusiast's dream, though a modest step up for Mavic 3 Pro owners and bulkier than many need.

    Tom's GuideThe outlet's top rating, counted as 95 · Hands-on review · 2025

    A near-flawless flagship drone with outstanding cameras, long flight time and easy handling, ideal for content creators if its weight limits are acceptable.

    WIREDHands-on review

    A powerful, easy-to-fly flagship that won the reviewer back to large drones, held back mainly by cost, weight rules and unclear US availability.
