0 0 2

This list is brimming with plenty of DJI models since the drones that are going to be similar to the DJI Mavic Pro are naturally going to come from the same manufacturer.

DJI Mavic Pro Phantom 3 Standard

DJI Mavic Pro

This is most affordable drone enlisted in this post and is considered an ideal drone for drone enthusiasts of intermediate expertise.

Parrot Disco FPV

DJI Mavic Pro

Apparently this is not similar to the Mavic Pro since it is a fixed-wing machine rather than a quadcopter. It boasts a Ready to Fly (RTF) design that can attain speeds in excess of 50mph, live stream FPV in HD, and take 1080p camera footage. Keep in mind that fixed-wings aren’t as easy to fly as quadcopters, but the Parrot Disco makes it easy with the manufacturer’s own autonomous flight features. Hey, it offers almost half an hour of flight duration.
