    Waiting, waiting down under...

    No, I don't think so. I just ordered some extra blades and a spare battery. I don't think I need that silly bag and the other stuff that comes in the bundle. I may buy extra batteries later on, but i'll see how I go with 2 first.

    Waiting, waiting down under...

    I'd like to think our consumer laws in Australia would take care of any warranty issues. I think if you had any issues in the first 12 months that were not caused by physical damage by the owner, you could just get a refund and buy a new one. This isn't a cheap toy after all and if it's not fit...

    Waiting, waiting down under...

    I've ordered mine from the Apple Store, $1 deposit for pre-order and I can return it in 14 days if i'm not happy. They have very good after sales service also, so any warranty problems shouldn't be an issue. If a really good deal comes up from somewhere else before it is sent, I can just cancel...

    Or maybe $$$ received from GoPro??

    Hand launch/catch

    I agree, if a drone fell out of the sky and injured someone or damaged something, nobody would be able to tell who is responsible for it.

    Recording while folded up?

    It might be safer to remove the blades then, if you'd like to use it as a camcorder.

    Really Good Mavic Footage from a Reviewer who "Hates fixed focus"

    Yes it is. This is the first review i've seen that shows that the control sticks on the remote are removable, other reviews said they are not removable so it makes it hard to put the controller in your pocket. I also love his voice and enthusiasm, he sounds a lot like Borat, lol.

    You have to focus on focusing, that pretty much says it all regarding blurry images.

    Super Newb "Follow Me" Question

    Hey have you checked out the Lily Drone? It seems to be just what you need, it can land and take off in the water but I think it only does 1080p vid. It has a waterproof tracking device you can put on your arm. It's not as compact as the Mavic, but more compact than a P3 or P4.
