Especially since you can get the mavic pro without RC controller for $749. Basically you get a drone ready to fly for $50 less than the karma with no camera.

Can anyone tell if when you hook a phone to it, does it connect wirelessly or by a cable? -
Cable for phone to the rc controller. Or phone wifi direct to drone

I need a Mavic in my life. I've had my P3 for less than two months, and the portability of the Mavic would be worth its weight in gold.

The Mavic uses DJI's Ocusync for its video...so its FPV image from the camera is managed by direct 2.4 ghz downlink to the controller, then by either USB cable to the iPhone/Android. The drone also can use wifi, but I can't tell how it's used. 1080p, they say, out to 4.1 miles. That's compared to the Karma's video which is wifi. That differentiation can't be overestimated. The video quality, latency, frame rates, and range via wifi really suck by comparison to full HD 2.4 ghz downlink. I have wifi video on my Phantom 2. It requires a wifi range booster, but the video is not really that useful, and not really great for actual FPV flight. Originally Posted by zombiescometh

As far as I've read on the two quads, the Mavic exceeds the Karma to an almost embarrassing extent, esssentially putting it into the toy category. That said, it is such a groundbreaker that I'd like to see it fly around in the wild for awhile before jumping on board. Agreed, the Mavic does use technology that DJI already has in wide use with the Phantom 4, but even so....Last edited by Hmac; 09-28-16 at 06:29.

With the advent of these latest drone/digital cameras I'm surprised we haven't seen some news affiliates replace their copter with a fleet of these.

Especially now that commercial certification (part 107) is so easy to get (by comparison). Originally Posted by Moose-Knuckle

I have been watching some of the rotor Riot videos on YouTube. I'm about ready to jump into this deal also I think. For the time being and I've pretty much given up on getting my pilot's license I have beenip on cessnas now about 10 times. But I am just the point where I just don't really think I can afford it. Maybe someday, but not today.
I think fpv drone flying drone flying will help scratch my itch for flying in a way I can actually be able to afford to do so.
