I feel the same as you. A great second drone. I love it compared to the Phantom. I've never been a big Phantom fan. This on the other hand is a no brainer as a second drone.If I had the money this would be the quickest 2nd drone purchase ever, I absolutely love it. the portability, the precision flight with follow me at differing height levels, brilliant.
Just imagine getting your MTB to the top of the hill getting this out of your back pack, sending it up, setting the distance and BOOM away you go.
By George I didn't get a new fishing rod this year and this might be the perfect substitution at Christmas time! I like what i'm seeing....so far!Is the Mavic a Phantom Killer? and go...
In the US it's a big thing right now that the import tax is "0" in the EU it is 20%. I think that is the difference.And as always with DJI....999 USD for the Mawic for US customers and 1199 Euro (1345 USD) for us EU customers. Thats not a small price difference.
I don't see that kind of price differences from other companies on their items sold in the US vs Europe.
But surely it looks as a nice drone. But i do as i always do with DJI products, i buy them when they are available in the stores, i don't want to order and pay now and then have to wait who knows how long with all the delays etc.
But what is the advantages with the P4 compared to the Mawic??
The only advantage is a larger FOV. Many more disadvantages. Except for hobby flyers, this is truly a Phantom killer.And as always with DJI....999 USD for the Mawic for US customers and 1199 Euro (1345 USD) for us EU customers. Thats not a small price difference.

Phantom and Mavic are really intended two different markets: The current gen Phantom is for the prosumer and complements the Inspire /Matrice for professional use whereas Mavic is more of a utility/sport drone for informal personal photo and videos. While Mavic may take some of Phantom's market share I still see a long term market for Phantom. Believe it or not the majority of DJI's loyal customer base does not hike up mountains, kayak down rushing rivers or lead the active lifestyle portrayed in their promotional videos. However is you are one of those in that select group of DJI customers that does the Mavic is for you. Also IMO, consumers are not going to turn their $1000 Mavic into a FPV racing drone when similar FPV racing drones are readily available for 1/4 the price It is still way too early to know Mavic's viability as a Phantom replacement long term. There are too many unanswered questions that are already answered with the Phantom . (ie reliability of a folding quad, use of filters, wind stability, Indoor flight capabilities, SDK apps, etc..) The only thing for certain I that the Mavic will make GoPro's Karma and any subsequent competitors a tough sell.
well....Don't know about anyone else but I'm thinking I want one!!!
I want one.
I sense your credit card starting to get warm....... even of its just for the landing accuracy of 1 inch from where it takes off...... yup, one inch!well....
