DJI Mavic

[Goz 305]

DJi has released the Mavic, looks like a nice compact form factor and feature set. $1699 makes it about the same money as the Phantom 3 Pro and cheaper than the Phantom 4. Batteries are cheaper than the Phantom 4 so that's a plus.

Alright, I read up a bit about it today and the more I read the more I like it.  I don't think i'll upgrade from the Phantom3 Pro just yet, as all these things are making accessories for the Phantom nice and cheap.  Interested to see how this goes against the GoPro Karma over time, I do like that DJI is offering the goggles to go with it as well.  I'll be using my Fatsharks this time out on the dry lakes, as even with a sunshade it was hard to see the screen.

Back to back, Phantom 4's photo quality is better.  DJI Mavic is more portable.
