    Inspire 2 or Phantom 4 Pro?!

    P4P looks amazing. The Inspire 2 would have to be the result of having the winning lottery numbers. $3k, sheesh, my first car cost $3,500.00.

    how far do you fly?

    Just saw a video for the Mavic where the guy flew 4.3 miles. Some nice footage as well. Me personally, I'd be afraid to fly 4.3 miles.

    Stay away from the Parrot Disco if you are thinking about buying it.

    Playing Devil's Advocate, I've seen plenty of videos with great flight footage from the Parrot Disco. Looks like a great fixed wing drone with some great features. The new Skycontroller looks good, and the FPV aspect looks pretty good. And the battery lasts 40 minutes +. That being said, I...

    Reasons to hold off, besides camera?

    Actually, nothing I've seen can sway me away from buying one eventually (don't have the funds at this moment). I don't have a 4k drone yet, I have a Yuneec Typhoon Q500+, and I love it, and love the video I get from it, so buying a 4k drone will be a nice bump in camera quality, and of course...

    Using a folded Mavic as handheld gimbal?

    Interesting concept, the Mavic only weighs a little over a pound. That being said, that Karma gimbal (and the Hero 5 Black) are pretty **** cool !

    How many review units are out there?

    I've noticed a lot of phony videos as well. One is listed as a distance test for the Mavic Pro, and when the video ends, you can clearly see the shadow of a Phantom (legs and all). Another guy has a video titled something like "Mavic battery fail crash" or something like that, and not only is...

    META-REVIEW: Complete list of Mavic features & what people are saying about it

    Why wouldn't anyone NOT want to use a remote ? I made that mistake with my Parrot Bebop 2, bought it without the Skycontroller, was totally disappointed by the wifi-cellphone performance, got the Skycontroller and got excellent distance. Went from worthless to awesome. Went from a toy grade...

    New To Dji And Drones * Waiting on my MAVIC *

    Not only did I register prior to receiving my first drone, I even got FAA stickers on Amazon before I received it, and put my FAA stickers on the drone before my 1st flight.

    META-REVIEW: Complete list of Mavic features & what people are saying about it

    Wow, a $750 selfie drone. Crazy. No way would I go that route.

    META-REVIEW: Complete list of Mavic features & what people are saying about it

    Unless it was mentioned elsewhere, I can't find the official range the Mavic gets without the controller and controlling only via the cellphone's wifi. I did see a video where a DJI Rep said 80 meters, but not sure if that is true. IF true, those looking to save $250 by buying the bare bones...

    Is it just me??? Or???

    Famous Youtubers (like Casey Niestat) will never get fined, only the unknown Youtube flyers get hit with fines. Every flight Niestat posts in in Manhattan, and as anyone knows, everywhere in Manhattan is a no-fly zone. Obviously not enforced. Also, he never flies with FAA stickers on his drones...

    Tap to Focus Example

    Even before he taps to focus, it looked WAY better than the Parrot drone, I should know, I have the Parrot Bebop 2.

    Tap to Focus Example

    80 meter range without the controller (as per a DJI rep). Hopefully people didn't make the mistake of ordering the cheaper version, they will NOT be happy with the measly range.

    Mavic Release Discussion

    So true. I've been saving for the P4, but now I've decided to go with the Mavic (the $999 version). It'll be so much easier to take on trips .Have a San Francisco trip in July, it's definitely coming with me. Gonna get shot shots of Napa, Sonoma, Sausalito, Carmel and Big Sur.
