Anybody know if I buy this drone from DJI online store I will get in the 10 to 15 days like they claim? I know many retailers still don't have this drone yet and I am in need for a done for a one week project in mid March 11-18th. Or does anyone know where I can get one by that time?

The New and Improved Mavic Pro Platinum

The DJI Mavic Pro Platinum takes all of the advanced features of the Mavic Pro which revolutionised personal flight and builds on them. It is ideal for travellers, amateur photographers and outdoor sports enthusiasts.

With an 11 percent gain in flight time taking it up 30 minutes coupled with a 60% noise power reduction[1], the Mavic Pro Platinum provides the best portable drone experience yet. Additionally, the drone’s compact and powerful body has also been created with an attractive platinum coloured shell.

The increased flight time and quieter operation has been achieved by integrating new electronic speed controllers (ESC’s) and freshly designed propellers which are also compatible with the current Mavic Pro.

Furthermore, pilots of the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum benefit from a portable, powerful and easy-to-use camera drone that features a 4K stabilised camera, 4.3 mile (7km)[2] range, innovative FlightAutonomy technology to sense obstacles up to 49ft (15m) away and a range of intelligent flight modes that make it extremely fun and easy to fly.

Judging by the Mavic platinum, I'd say that DJI feel right now that they don't need to improve a lot in what is probably the most popular drone on the planet. I wouldn't be surprised if they have something better in the works (maybe based on Ambarella H2 since it supports 4Kp60 and higher bitrates), but until a competitor announces something to take away Mavic sales (or until Mavic sales slump because everybody already has one who will buy one), they have no real motivation.

(Also, I've found the camera and compression to be acceptable for most things)

I've decided to give it a try and after mere 4-5 flights I have to say: Mavic Pro is great! Flies very well, hoovers steadily and image stabilization of the gimbal/camera is just amazing! Video bandwidth is limited to 60mbps (lets pray for somebody to hack it), so it sucks a little bit on 4K, but UHD and 2.7K looks really good. Some tweaking of camera settings (as well as post production) is needed, but it was definitely worth buying. I am very pleased with final FHD image I get (from 4K/UHD or 2.7K source). And in "Tripod Mode" Mavic becomes unbelievably stable - very smooth, slaw movements - ideal for taking butter smooth footage. Other autonomous flights also help a lot to get a job done, without being a first class drone pilot... In addition, when hand-held, it works very nice as a small 4K gimbaled-camera with live, wireless video feed on your smartphone or tablet. Considering the price (899USD) - it was my best bang for the money! Tripod mode example
