bertusras Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Enter the DJI Mavic! Things just got interesting! Foot, meet mouth. The Karma is barely out of the gate and got shot. This is good, competition on the prosumer level will only drive improvement!
the nerd Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Only thing is the Mavic is twice the price, so I have a feeling they will both do well!
Slowbee Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 The down side to DJ, is they dont have a removable camera (unless you guys know otherwise?) So you still need some kind of a camera to be able to use it when not using a drone. At the moment that is a major draw card of the Karma (for me). the nerd and Skylark 2

And that removable gimbal is flipping cool! dirtypot 1
bertusras Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Only thing is the Mavic is twice the price, so I have a feeling they will both do well! No? Mavic Pro is $999, Karma is $800 sans camera? the nerd 1
the nerd Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 No? Mavic Pro is $999, Karma is $800 sans camera? well thats good news... initial reports were that the mavic was twice the price... real competition!
capediver Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 well thats good news... initial reports were that the mavic was twice the price... real competition! Even cheaper if you don't take the controller...$750...you can fly it with your phone..(limited to wifi range tho')..better battery as well...27mins
JPLRoux Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Then this happened... Karma... goes around, comes around. Check Mate. Game Over Skinnyone 1
Rocket-Boy Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Watch some of them, maybe watch this one... all the way to the end! (Its very early footage) In a few of them he talks about equipment etc... Will give it a go, there are quite a few forum member whose views I respect and you are one of them so I will at least give him another attempt. the nerd 1
Skinnyone Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 I just wonder what the Frenchies will have to say about the new DJI product...the fact that the Mavic has collision avoidance and possibly follow me functionality (haven't managed to do research into this yet) makes it a better choice, plus the one thing is that you don't always need a controller to fly it...just a tablet...to fly close range stuff. Also folds up smaller and so on... The Karma's removable gimbal makes a nice feature but adds bulk to the design.
Skylark Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 But a good gimbal is rather pricey on its own and very handy, having it removable really is a win, seamless solution.
rock Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 he's even married to a cape town girl. gotta love Casey.
rock Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 if I see one more product launch where the product involved is in the key note speaker's pocket....... the nerd 1
RocknRolla Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 I lol every time someone says the gimbal is handy.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Slowbee Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Dear Father Christmas (aka Mrs Slowbee ) I promise to finish the never ending house to do list in time for the family Christmas lunch. Can I please have a drone ?
