New DJI product: Mavic Pro "personal drone"

DJI recently introduced the Mavic Pro “personal drone”.

Interesting. It costs nearly as much as a P4, so not sure what the intended consumer target is. I’ll have to read the full whitepaper on it to understand it’s intention.

All folded up and ready to go for a ride.

- @fultonmartin Did you get it yet? That’s my next drone. My ex-coworked just got his a week or two ago.

- @garyhgaryh It came Monday (two days early). I had time to charge a battery and do a little flying (in “Beginner” mode) before it got too dark. I ran another battery through it yesterday…it’s nice, but it’s going to take some time to get used to it, and familiar with the apps that make it so capable. (The DJI Go 4 app crashes repeatedly [Nexus 6]; haven’t sprung for Litchi yet.)
  (FYI, I ordered it on 10/17, so it took almost two months to get. I’m sure there’s still a wait, but probably not that long. And they charged my CC immediately, although they said they’re looking into not doing that…)

Features info:

The DJI Mavic Pro folds down as small as a bottle of water, making it small enough to bring with you everywhere.

New OcuSync transmission system offers up to 4.3 miles (7km) of transmission range.

FOUR MILES?!?!?!?

Fly at up to 40mph (64kmh) or for as long as 27-minutes.

True 4K, fully stabilized ensures smooth footage

ActiveTrack, TapFly and other smart features make professional looking video effortless.

Obstacle Avoidance combined with sensor redundancy increases flight safety and reliability.

Vision positioning paired with GPS and GLONASS ensures precise positioning indoor and outdoors.

Fly by Phone over Wi-Fi for even easier flight

At first I completely dismissed it, but on second look… I’ll have to reconsider it.

- @sportykev It’s cute, for sure. I just checked out the specs on the P4 Pro. 4K/60 video is pretty freakin’ impressive. Four way collision avoidance system too.

- @ruouttaurmind I am loving the form factor. I wasn’t crazy about using smartphone for FPV but all these reviews don’t have any issues with it. I guess I’m a fan of analog.
