Yes, as I look at the pile of stuff I've got to fit into the back of the car, I think they are quite unique and the quality of footage is amazing.

Simpson Desert Crossing 2015 - With a DJI Drone - YouTube

When I started flying helicopters were expensive and almost impossible to fly. I remember people who practiced for years and their life goal was to be able to take off and do a circuit to a hover landing. Most never achieved that.

Now, these things are so incredible that the main causes of crashes is commanded flight into terrain/obstacles.

Just do it.....

Captain, the one Pedro is referring to is mine - great bit of gear. I'm a real beginner with these things and while I'm very much still learning - getting started is really easy - Youtube is your friend ...as are the training tutorials built into the DJI app.

Homestar knows far more about drones than I do, but as Vlad said.... just do it . I really doubt you will be disappointed. Amazing little machine.

My Airial Reconnaissance Search Engine .The hard case is water and dust proof 335x310x120mm about $80 .It holds the mavic ,controller,3 battries,car charger,spare props,
cords Ipad and Marco Polo tracker .If you can afford the room the case is much better than the MP bag.The MP itself is a great bit of gear and great to fly, takes great pics Unfortunatly my Mac can't handle 4K so I video at a lower setting but still really great

Just wow that's awesome. I won't have time to get stuff like that set up before we head off.

So, can anyone comment on DJI Refresh. I've read the docco and it sounds like they will replace your drone for a token charge even if you run it into an innocent object.

They must have epic confidence in them (or they cost nothing to make) to offer that for $170.

I have it but due to the forum would be reluctant to use it I have had 2 crashes .The trees in NQ grow 20 meters overnight ,obstical avoidance does'nt work on small branches and dont rely on google earth for altitude Crash 1 $60 for a new motor arm abit of solder about 1 hour labour .Crash 2 $20 for new gimbal plate I only needed 2 off the rubber bands but had to buy the plate.The main complaint with DJI is their crap customer service but like most forum posts you get more negs than pos
