So now there doesnt seem to be a reason to buy a full size Dji Phantom

[SAWYER]

Dji announced the Mavic, same camera as the 4, smaller, it folds up, longer flight and range plus a better controller.

Pretty cool. How much?

 

[JoeyM]

Found it:$999.

The cheaper/lighter the better. The thought of losing a $1000 drone with a couple hundred dollar gimbal and another couple hundred dollar camera is terrifying -- and the smaller/lighter the system, the lower the risk of being sued and the lower the damages when the drone crashes on someone.

 

[Printer Bandit]

drone footage is boring. no point in buying a drone.

 

[SAWYER]

For you sure, plenty of other people think otherwise

 

[Aharami]

seems like a much better system than the similar GoPro one that just came out

I got excited. Of course I wondered about the ... never mind.

Thinking about getting a DJI Phantom and the Drone license from the FAA and creating a business.
