"The DJI Agras MG-1 is an octocopter designed for precision variable rate application of liquid pesticides..."
We're talking cameras, not containers.
I'd be happy with
Done - waterproof
Gimbal/camera - water resistant
Supplied carrying case - waterproof
That would still mean no water landings but would offer much more peace of mind and practicality.
Let me put it this way... For more than a month before my trip to Iceland I was all over youtube, researching drones. Cheap, expensive, whatever, I wanted something to capture that epic, once in a lifetime holiday. Time after time people kept recommending I get a DJI Phantom...
And time after time I rejected the idea, as they are just too fat, bulky awkwardly shaped - not to mention the other voices saying "No! Their aftersales service is rubbish!"
I finally caved in and got the cheapest Phantom I could, a Standard.
I'm the PERFECT customer for the Karma. Perfect. It was designed FOR ME.
Short range, same as my Standard, short flying time, same as my Standard, great camera, same as my Standard. I've never actually used any follow me, orbit or other modes; I don't care much about those and see them as a nice to have but not necessary.
So basically the same as my Standard but folds down small - ideal, but no, I can't justify twice the price just for that.
But tough and waterproof?
Despite the higher tech and abilities of the Mavic, if the Karma were rugged and waterproof I wouldn't even be on this forum; I'd just preorder a Karma.
That's how important it is to me.
Hopefully you'll pass that on to product development.
