Can anyone tell me why DJI choose this gray color for the Mavic Pro? I find that it gets lost in many different sceenaries, like it's camouflaged.

Probably so it's camouflagd and hard to see.  Actually against white clouds or bright sky it's possibly easier to see than a white Phantom.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. But maybe the real reasons is so DJI could sell you wraps?  ;)

The alternative during testing was pink.

So thankfully they went for grey.

I don't know -- that Storm Trooper White that someone posted Pictures ofwas pretty terrifying - especially if you're a Drone without ObiWanKenobi by your side.

I agree that against white clouds and blue sky it is noticeable.

I think the color looks good. My brother wants me to purchase one of these and ship it to him in Japan. Does anyone know who can ship these internationally?

Actually fluorescent pink is one of the easiest colours to see in the sky both in sunny and cloudy conditions.

If pink is so visible in the sky why did the RAF paint Spitfires pink to camouflage them?
invisable pink
