The (unofficial) Official "Drone.Horse Lives On" thread

ruouttaurmind went on a bit of a rant said

Drone.Horse (Mediocre’s drone forum) sort of ran it’s course, and the good folks at Mediocre pulled the plug on the forum to ring in the new year.

I had a lot of fun over there, made some great friends, learned a bunch and just created some general mayhem. Now I’m trying to drag just a sliver of that information back over here.

I’d like to kick off by reaching out to @fultonmartin to ask about his DJI Mavic Pro experience. Last I read, you had received it, but I didn’t see any reviews/flight reports before Drone.Horse shut down. Can you give me your initial impressions?

I ask because my brother (very generously) gave me a Phantom 4 for Christmas, but I was considering exchanging it for either a Mavic or a P4 Pro. The P4 standard edition just seems to be in the meh area between the three. P4 Pro brings some great new features and an amazing camera with blazing fast 4K video, but the Mavic seems to do NEARLY everything the P4 Standard does, with the added advantage of it’s adorable little folding package and standalone transmitter (I’m under the impression you don’t need a mobile device to fly the Mavic, yes?).

Anyhoo… if you would be kind enough, @fultonmartin, to provide your impressions of Mavic and maybe weigh in on my dilemma, I would be grateful!

BTW, @garyhgaryh, I got a big boy toy now!
@sportykev, bring a drone with you next time you take out the AR and post some video!
@DJSlack, you’ve been in the new house long enough that you should have unpacked the drones by now. Bust 'em out, buddy!
@DJMajickman, I don’t recall reading about the completion of your last drone build? Did you wrap it up? Flying ok?
