If you get the hang of the Syma, and actually get it to do what you want, you will do very well with the Mavic. The Mavic is (almost) idiot proof. I mean, if you panic, all you have to do is let go of the sticks and it'll stop in its place. It'll also hover in place, rock steady, even in moderate outdoor wind.
So, yeah, definitely take the Syma up and out as much as you can!
Thanks, FlyMolo.
Yup, I pretty much took the Syma through its paces. And, oof, there is nothing elegant about it compared to higher end drones! But, I am absolutely glad I did this, because, as you point out, if I can handle a skateboard, a BMW will be a piece of cake!
An update, though. on 11/22 I actually bailed on the Mavic I ordered directly from DJI, a month after I placed it. But, today I received my Phantom 4 Pro+, ordered from Advexure, and received a day earlier than promised.
Haven't yet even taken opened the shipping box ... still pinching myself that I actually have my first ever drone! But, this evening I will be doing the unpacking with much reverence!
Woo hooooo! |
