DJI Mavic
 

Seems like this would be a great option for boat usage.

Really very tempting!!!

Seriously has me thinking about selling my Phantom 4

Crazy that he had TWO in that little bag too!

This makes me question my obsession with collective pitch copters. I might just have to pull the trigger

I keep wondering how water resistant these quads are. Does anybody here know?

That thing is next level compared to the Go Pro Karma. I will be picking one up for next season.

I was all in on the GoPro Karma...for about one week.

Haha. Same here. Just preordered the Mavic. The video that Casey Neistat put up yesterday sold me on it.

Also DJI (and a couple others) offer PayPal Credit for payment aka you have 6 months to pay for it. I was going to wait until Christmas but I'll just pay for it then. ha

Phantom 4 is on ebay. I love it, but the Mavic is going to be so much easier for hiking, camping, airports, and boating.

I used to dabble with collective pitch choppers and still play with RC cars and trucks. The drone thing is an entirely different animal. You only use about 2% of your collective pitch skills. My 8 year old can fly my Phantom 4 well enough for taking great photos. Waterproofing would be useless unless you want to fly in the rain. I have flown my Phantom 4 for over 30 hours since i bought it, probably 90% of that over water and have never been slightly concerned with crashing.

What is collective pitch?

thanks Alan
I know that drones are very stable. I guess I'm thinking to much.

Massdrop just got a deal on the pre-orders and extra $100 bucks if you were going to get one anyways...

Thing to remember about Massdrop is that they aren't an authorized reseller so warranty goes out the window!
