after looking into the specs/info on the mavic i have decided not to buy for myself(christmas present)
2 concerns i had/have is that the Mavic RC can only hold devices upto 160mm, so no ipads/tablets but i do understand that's because of the compact approach/design of the mavic itself, having used my ipad mini 2 wifi/cellular on my p3 pro i not sure i could cope with the small screen that my iphones 6s has, granted the dji go app is displayed on the device, you also have the telemetry data/modes etc displayed on the lcd screen on the RC but the majority will still use the dji go app for video/functions.
the second concern is a major one, and it also applies to the gopro karma as well as both are light compactable foldable drones. Due to the small size,weight of the mavic/karma in tests with 5-10 mph winds both have been found to be unstable at altitude,the tests were carried out with the 2 new drones side by side in same conditions etc, at 150-200 feet altitude and both struggled at this height/altitude with low winds.
Granted it must be a great challenge in itself to make a drone such as the mavic/karma fly safely/stably at this height in low winds,this is purely because of the lightweight/size of the drone.
So its great having the 4.3 mile range with ocusync,but if its not a safe/stable flight then why ? I just do not want spend the £1000 for a new drone then to have issues at those altitude levels, especially if i was 2-3 mile away,just asking for trouble.
so for the meantime im holding of/looking at other options as an upgrade for my p3 pro
but that's just my pennys worth.
