If You're into photography a drone will take the hobby to all new levels, pun intended. You get a completely different perspective of your surrounding... if you're u go to Hawaii to sit my some mega resort pool then don't waste your money but if you're going to explore the island that trip alone is worth having a drone. Back home if you travel a bit, weekends,etc... you can get some great footage too.
If your not into photography as a hobby then you probably won't be using it much...
Th big plus of th Mavic is that it is very portable and easy to take on trips unlike the bigger drones. An alternative, cheaper would be to get a spark. It does 90% of what the Mavic does for roughly 60% of th cost. Being just released there were a number of issues... i lost mine in th Bahamas last week, remote control lost contact and It didn't come back. Dji has just released what seemed to be a critical firmware update, so critical that unless upgraded by sept 1, existing sparks will not be able to fly. Hopefully I take I'll fix the problem.
I have used a Mavic before the spark and I am considering getting one unless DJI comes thru and replaces the failed drone under warranty
But again, it is hard to describe how different the perspective you get with a drone can be. I ve been using them in the Bahamas mostly, in places I ve been going for years and it feels like a whole new world !
I have looked at some of the other smaller cheaper drones but their capabilities are too limited, very toy like. |
