One design issue in my opinion is the narrow clearance between the camera / gimbal and the ground due to the low profile landing pads. Obviously, the drone was designed to be compact, easy to travel with and there are price points to consider, however I thought the design could have benefited from automated retractable or telescoping landing pads and / or an actuated gimbal assembly to protect the camera upon landing.
The video I have taken seems a bit grainy although I am no expert editor or film taker.
Considering that the technology is cutting edge, I expected that it would not be perfect and I had plenty of reading in this forum and various other internet information outlets regarding issues from those in the field who ordered and received their drone before me. For example, the collision avoidance not being perfect or the follow me option having tracking issues with wash out from the sun.
But, all the features and control functions are impressive. And, I like that I can walk around with my Mavic in it's bag inconspicuously looking like it is for a camera and not a drone.{:4_181:}
Even if the GoPro Karma made it out the gate without their crash recall, the Mavic would have crushed it. |
