Mavic Release Discussion

I wonder if the litchi app will work with it?

Litchi was specifically mentioned as an alternative third-party solution.

Would love to preorder as a birthday gift to myself, but I'm a bit annoyed that a billion dollar company can't get their store stable.

 

[Kman]

How much are the goggles? They work with P4?

I had it in my cart and then the store went down

7km (4.3 miles) downrange distance but a battery that gives 13km (8 miles) flight distance. So all you distance lovers wont get your new bird home

 

[Strat]

if you want you can use B&H

Can you use I pad with this? No more cracked shells I will buy one just for that reason!! And if it does everything that they claim long range and 27 mins!

I'm going to order direct from DJI. When DJI released the Phantom 4, customers started receiving them before the first shipments made it to authorized DJI dealers. I suspect the same will happen again.

Lol, we will find a way to slap on some external battery mods

I wonder how adjustable that phone holder is? The guys that fly with iPads aren't going to like it. Then again, controller is not needed? I'm holding off on judgement of something i don't know but I just don't like the idea of flying only with my device as the controller. I guess I'lll decide once I see it in person

 

[Reed L]

I would imagine that flying with a tablet will be the same as now

I'm thinking the guys who love to fly with iPads will continue flying Phantoms.

 

[FASTFJR]

why would anyone buy a phantom 4 compared with this?? What does the Phantom 4 do better?

I don't think an iPad or iPad mini is going to fit on that remote.

 

[Strat]

someone will 3d print a mount or release some mod to mount bigger tablets.. doesn't look to hard for tabs around 8"?

Not sure about litchi but the Autopilot App will work with it.

They wouldn't. This looks to be superior in every way to a Phantom 4. I can't imagine even considering buying a Phantom now that I've seen this. It's very small, ultra portable, has incredible tracking and obstacle avoidance technology, it's own controller, racing mode, amazing range, and the list just goes on and on.

The Phantom line is officially dead in my book.

I would love to get for Xmas, we are going to go on a trip outside the country and would like to bring it. I hate DJI's customer service, they have the worst CS ever.

 

[Sky King]

DJI just ate GoPro's lunch! I'd hate to own stock in GoPro right about now. (corporate espionage?)

I wanna think its too soon to put the Phantom to rest but hard not to think that way. It does look amazing. I don't see a controller pictured anywhere for purchase with the unit though.

The Phantom line is officially dead in my book.

I concur...
