I have seen and held the mavic and I will say it is truly amazing at how tiny the thing is. It packs all the great features from the Phantom and its probably the easier drone to just pick up and fly.

With the karma, I find some of the unsupervised reviews to be simply people not being patient or not really know what they are doing. It seems tho, to me anyways that some of these people may not be as educated about Drones, but thats how GoPro wants it, they want people to just pick it up and fly, as evident by the very simplistic controller.

With that said, the Karma is very modular and a lot more future proof and comes with some great accessories to boot. The Mavic is very one year in season product with nothing interchangeable.

In the end, its really what your needs are for the drones, want to fly and have fun but lose the flexibility of the gopro ecosystem? get a Mavic. Want to have better video and more flexibility? get a karma

I just picked up a hero5black today, so im leaning more towards the karma because that grip does look pretty awesome.

in the mean time..im debating if i should spend a little bit practicing on the Zerotech Dobby

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-6MkDW4cvs

its got most of the features on the mavic, its small and not too expensive. can shoot photos, has EIS and does 720p video
What are you using the drone for? The Dobby does not have a gimble for the camera.

iphonedo is an apple/dji fanboy through and through...i enjoy his videos but i haven't seen him criticize DJI much at all

tracking is done by software even in DJI products afaik

OA is a nanny aid which I think should be present in all these $500+ birds sold today but certainly doesn't mean it's necessary

Well they only recalled the first 1500 drones. Most of the drones are for reviewers and testers.

Q: Can I exchange my Karma drone for one that is not affected?

A: No. We are recalling all Karma units and providing a full refund. We are investigating the issue and plan to make Karma available once it has been resolved.

Sounds like it's just an internal resistive heating coil. If it's kept on though, would probably drop battery life down to 20 min or so instead of 30.

You're in HK though? It should be damn fast though since it's only made 1 hour north in Shenzhen. Any luck buying the extra battery in HK?

Felt lucky they upgraded my shipping. Was supposed to get it on the 27th, now i'm receiving it tomorrow! sick

Being located close to the distribution and factory has no influence on when the Mavics get shipped out.

That being said, DJI store in HK has plentiful of stock in batteries. I picked up 4 extra batteries a couple weeks ago and it's still showing in stock.

It will show on the DJI site if you can order and the shipment time is a few days then most likely it will be in stock. I am not sure if the website is based on your location though. I can give them a call if you Wnt to confirm if they have what you need if you want
