This. I was sold on the portability but it's not much good without the reliability. I'm also on a motorcycle, the Mavic and accessories fits easily in my tank-bag, can also charge from there. Going to have to get a hard top box if I switch to the P4P but it'd be worth it if I get the image...

Two lemons! One was already replaced! I know most of the arguments for and against; image quality, portability, but it's mostly stability now. I just want a reliable drone that I'm not afraid is going to fly away or develop strange "watercolour" issues...

Hi all, I'm seriously considering ditching the Mavic and getting a P4P. It's already been in for gimbal repair and yesterday GPS signal just dropped for a few minutes and I almost lost it. I've had the watercolour issue which still isn't completely resolved too. Yes I know it's like comparing a...

Thanks. So the vibrations and the bumps while driving should be okay? I hadn't read anything specifically about charging while driving but did see some articles saying vibrations weren't good...

Does anyone charge their Phantom batteries while driving? I've ordered the Mavic (my first camera drone) to take on a 6 week motorbike trip, the plan was to charge the batteries while riding to make sure my bike battery doesn't die. Also, I can't seem to find the dimensions of the battery...

Do you need to carry the batteries in LiPo bags?

Another comparison review: DJI Mavic Vs GoPro Karma: The Best Travel Drone It's a huge relief to see the videos where people actually focused, I think the vast majority of people watching the end result won't see the difference between the Mavic and a P4

Elk Fish Robotics in Fremantle (Perth). That is, if they're telling the truth! I wouldn't be surprised if I went back mid-October to be told there was indeed a problem with customs and it'll be November... edit: I paid full price, no deposit. Got to commit sometimes ;-)

I purchased mine from a local shop. They say all going well (ie. no hold ups at customs) they should have them in stock mid-October the same time DJI will start selling.

Just ordered the combo for 2200 AUD (1686 USD). Heading off on a 6 week motorbike trip end of November so the Mavic will be perfect - transportable, well over an hour of flight time with the extra batteries AND I can charge it from the 12v socket on my bike.

Can anyone tell me which Phantom this is? It's for sale at a police auction with a GoPro https://d1llupjagpjgxp.cloudfront.net/5ymBcbBlrvkeDMtlzk45tcuI_t0=/600x450/auctions/public/auctions/3212/451034.jpg How much would it be worth? Couldn't see any info on the base as it was covered but...
