RE: I'm going to buy a Drone - Choosing between DJI Mavic and GoPro Karma.

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Mavic fits in your back bag. This is a huge plus

Since I saw it the first time that was the details that got me... I even got a chinesse version of this model to learn how to fly good.

And also you shouldn't be flying over the legal altitude limit.

What do you mean with this? I have to read carefully about all the regulations and so on... looks like is something you have to take care of really ... like not going to Nicaragua (or Cuba) with the Drone ;)

The camara of the Ph 4 is amazing too. What advantages do you see in the Ph 4 over the Mavic? (if there is some)

Thanks for the coment and sugestions!!!

Sort:  

PH4 has an even better camera. The camera on Mavic pro isn't that great in the end but if you're going for the portability and usefulness over the quality I recommend the Mavic Pro. This video shows the quality differences of the 2 cameras. You can notice how wide the PH4 lens is compared to the Mavics

PH4 is also more powerful. This can come in handy when flying in high wind speeds. But again the choice is up to you; do you want portable drone or a drone with better quality?

And yes checking your local laws is important. It has been in the news over and over again how some people fly over the limit and almost cause accidents. You don't want this to happen. Mostly you are just fine by using common sense such as don't fly over crowded areas, don't stalk other people, do NOT fly near airports and make sure that you know your surroundings to avoid accidents. These drones are toys but very powerful toys.

I had to repeat this to myself one more time:) really important paragraph!!!
Yes, I know that the camera is much better. And not only the camera. I will need to re-think a bit. Definetely the Mavic is super portable but the Ph 4 Pro is amazing! It is made for filmakers!

I do not know if say thanks a lot or I hate u hahahahahaha. It is not so much expensive
than the Mavic btw. Hayayayayaya!!! Now I am not sure of anything :D Could get both of them also and use them depending of the conditions ;)

Actually you can get the stantard PH4 for fairly cheap. Maybe even cheaper than the mavic
