PolarProKatana - DJI Mavic Cinema Tray

It is what it says it is - well made - sturdy - fits perfectly - nice addition to my Mavic Pro accessories.Cost is high for this item but works as intended

The media could not be loaded.  Given the alternative options, pricing and availability, $50 is nothing for this thing. Works as advertised for nice handheld pan motions, however, I wouldn't walk with it much as it's nearly impossible remove the bounce from walking. I use for real estate room spins to enhance still photos and aerial product work. Would be great for family outings where you want to film some family moments with the best possible footage.

I know what yer thinking. "$45.50 for a hunk of plastic that looks clumsy and kinda goofy?" ANSWER: Yes, yes & yes again. You paid $1000+ for that Mavic Pro and you know you don't fly that expensive toy often enough. Yes, unbelievably high quality aerial video from that combination of awesome flying machine and high tech 4K camera WITH 3 AXIS GIMBAL. Therein is the key to this product.You don't fly that awesome 4K video camera often enough, so how about 3 axis stabilized video on the ground? Use that awesome camera 3 axis gimbal combination on level ground just like a regular video camera. Double duty for you expensive toy which sits around between flights. Yes it may look a little clumsy, but the way Polar Pro (or somebody) has engineered this it doesn't feel clumsy in the slightest. Yes, bigger than a super duper new mini 4K camera, but your Mavic can also do 4K from the sky and travel 2+ miles to get the shot. Why not allow it to get your land shots too? And that expensive land based 4K vid camera doesn't have 3 axis stabilization, nor can it fly ;-)A no brainer for me to be able to use my Mavicas a stabilized 4k video camera and still shot on terra firma

The handle is well build and the mavic holds tight. Weigh is good, not to heavy, not to light. Some issues i have:- iphone holder should be tighter (maybe using an spring)- They should have had a tripod Ball instead of a fixed angle solution.- It should include something to protect the camera: it could tilt forward- Lanyard attachment, please.************* Update 12-2-2017**************After using this tray for half a year i decide to take one start out because of fragility and because it does not keep MAVIC in place tight enough. Also phone base tends to wiggle around since is not screw to holder body and MAVIC body pressure is the one that keep's it in place.I had to contact customer service because metal screw got separated from base metal: Looks like the screw and the metal based are not welded strong enough and they tend to break. Customer service replace the piece right away, 1 point added. But since this is a design flaw I know it will break eventuality. Plastic body is light BUT better to have some metal to screw the phone holder for long term and not a piece that bounce back and forth.A Solution like  Cinema Tray, Dazzne Aluminum Alloy Metal Portable Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer for DJI Mavic Pro and Drone Accessories (Not included the smartphone and DJI Mvic)  lis better but is on the heavy side.

As much as I wanted to like this product, I was just too unimpressed with the nonchalant reshipment of a very clearly already used item. I saw immediate problems when I pulled the box out of the package. The box was very worn down, with rips on both corners. The sticker that seals the lid shut was already pulled up and covered in dust. After examining the tray itself I noticed one piece of the rubber trim was coming out. I tried to push it back in, assuming it would pop back into place, but it looks like it’s out to stay. I thought that it might be part of what holds the drone into the tray steadily, kind of like a spring, but it’s not even centered in the space that it’s in. Incredibly disappointed. Might be a worthwhile product if it’s new, but that is not what I got.

The media could not be loaded.  Just got this in the mail, opened it up and filmed my first video test of kids swimming in the back. First thing I noticed is how smooth the video is. I was walking normally around filming and yet the steps I'm taking are very muted by the Mavic. In the video I even walked up some steps to test and still very smooth. I love that this gives you so much more flexibility to use your Mavic other then just a drone! Now I can literally take it and use it anywhere! Setup does take a minute because you have to remove the propellers and attach the Katana itself. The only thing you don't think about is that you still have to control the camera angle on your phone. Tilting the Mavic up or down it will still stay focused on what you have it set on, so that took a moment to get used to. Excited to start using this!

My husband and I fly all over the world taking video footage and creating beauty. This little Katana has literally changed the game for us. We took it in our last adventure and broke it out one day while the wind conditions were too strong to fly the Drone. We filmed the whole days B Roll with the drone in the Katana. It is some of the best and smoothest B Roll we got on the trip. It's so good we considered buying another drone and another Katana strictly for the sake of the beautiful B Roll we got. We are on our way to spend 30 days in Indonesia & Taiwan and this little baby will definitely be coming with us!

Very Nice Quality plastic and overall design. A small trick to get the Mavic into the screw-down bracket, but not a deal breaker. The Phone mount is a little sloppy as noted in other reviews (I wish it was better too), but again not a deal breaker. Finally, I wish they would come out with an app to better control the camera pan up and down as that is the only draw back. I use the Litchi app as it has better on-screen pan controls. Good luck and enjoy!

Realmente me imaginaba la calidad baja, está hecho de un plástico resistente y es muy cómodo en uso, lo recomiendo.

Its great for shooting indoor realtor videos, only downside is, its hard to pan vertically on your phone for some reason, besides that its great quality.

Ein nettes Tool, mit dem tatsächlich schöne Aufnahmen möglich sind. Allerdings sollte man Einstellungen an der Kamera vornehmen, das ist ein wenig Trial und Error. Hat man die Einstellungen gefunden (Geschwindkeit des Gimbals ist hier besonders interessant) funkioniert es super. Gelegentlich skippt die Kamera im WLAN Modus das Bild und das ist leider auch im Material auf der SD-Karte zu sehen. Besser funktioniert es, wenn man den Controller trotzdem per Kabel anschließt und ihn geschützt in die Tasche steckt. Ich habe sogar überlegt per 3D Druck noch einen Clip unterhalb der Mavic zu machen um dort dann den Controller zu platzieren - aber soweit geht die Liebe leider nicht.

Un poco entretenido de montar, pero te permite complementar tus tomas aéreas con tomas terrestres o tomas de recurso con la misma estabilidad de imagen y sin tener que cargar un pesado gimbal. Además, para ello puedes usar sin problema los restos de batería que ya no dan para otro vuelo.

Per chi usa il Mavic Pro non "soltanto" per volare, trovo questo articolo estremamente interessante per poter usare il drone anche come una "semplice" videocamera. Di ottima finitura direi che è uno strumento di cui non si può fare a meno; Manca soltanto la possibilità di un attacco a vite per poterlo montare su treppiede o slider (l'ho fatto artigianalmente e le riprese sono una bomba). Lo so, è fatto per volare, ma .......
