When I used the DJI Osmo Mobile 3 to shoot video with a cell phone, I almost felt like I deserved one of those folding canvas chairs that’s labeled Director.

Flying the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom, one of the best all-around consumer quadcopters, is a treat. Flying it at a substantial discount is a treat with chocolate sauce and a cherry.The Mavic 2 Zoom Refurbished I flew is available at a $270 savings compared to the brand-new Mavic 2 Zoom. By going refurbished, you pay just a bit over $1,000. Compared to a Mavic Pro Refurbished, the savings is $200.It was fast and stable, and it had good range, extended flight time, and imagery with excellent color separation and low noise.

The DJI Mavic 2 Pro quadcopter has become the standard in consumer drones, and using one quickly shows you why.
