Quadcopter/Drone Thread

Congrats. I wonder when they get here if they will be available to pick up or will pre orders snatch them up. Some or other company was advertising them on Facebook (SA company) and there was like 50 people asking so there seems to be quite a lot of interest in SA.

Side question: I don't suppose there are any problems with taking a Phantom / Mavic on a plane as hand luggage?

Initially, shipping was indicated as the last week in October. However, ORMs have now revised the timeline to mid November. DJI China are scheduled to commence distribution on 20 October. ORMs shifted the ETA just to play it safe because of the possible delays at customs clearance.

You should pre-order, you not obliged to buy it should you thereafter change your mind.

How does it compare to the Phantom 4 Pro/4k?
 
Damn, GoPro just recalled all the Karma drones. Not a good start! On a different note, I saw a Mavic at ORMS two days ago, it looked even smaller than what I've seen on videos...truly amazing oO
 
I cancelled my order for the mavic. The delivery date just keeps moving further into the future. Having already paid, I was not happy with my money sitting idle in someone else's account.

Ouch, that's going to cost, is it a Lithium battery cropping it's ugly head up again?

What happens if your Karma already crashed due to the issue(or some other cause), will they still refund?

Probably will be some stoked Karma owners who have crashed and mangled drones..

Hope everyone seeing news on the new inspire2 and phantom4pro. Now really tempted to sell the P4 and go P4pro or maybe gen 1 inspire.

P4pro - 5 direction obstacle avoidance. 4k 60fps 100mbps. New 20mp camera . Looks like better low light as well

Inspire2 - dual batteries . Infrared sensor and 2 forward vision sensors. Xenmuse x5s - 5.2k 30fps - 4.2gbps. ISO 100-25600


Think DJI just killed it

Promo vids on YouTube.

P4pro is wow. Still think the Mavic will be fine for me though for a long time and the portability is tops.

Most consumers I think will only go for Mavic. Price and portability.

For me I think this is going to turn into a unhealthy hobby .

DJI - take my money
