Interested to buy a mavic for its form factor. $999 is kinda a pocket buster, any idea if there will be a standard version?

Actually, it depends on the airline. Some airlines are stricter than others, some require you to fully discharge your batteries before boarding, some don't even let you on the plane if you're carrying more than one of them

This and the fact that there isn't an easy way to charge your batteries on the go while traveling (I mean, who wants to carry around a car battery or solar cell, make USB charging happen!) kinda put me off drones for the time being

Drone sifus, what's the easiest mode (on a dji drone) or method to perform the manoeuvre at 0:49? My skill level is beginner level only. Thanks

Thanks. Seen your zoom out shots before. What's the safest mode and speed to do the zoom out shot? Especially over water. See at 3:06

Definitely worth it if you want a beginner's drone

General rule of thumb. Drone in checked baggage, batteries in carry on

Better read up on their drone laws before you bring a drone there. Sometimes you need to have a drone operator's license/permit to bring in one, and even then you can't simply fly it in sensitive areas like national parks/housing areas/airports

Worse comes to worst, they may confiscate/detain your drone at the airport


Honestly, there's just too many laws/restrictions against drones. Some countries have even banned drones, and may not allow you to enter with your drone. Too much hassle really. They are really cool and all, but kinda useless when you wanna travel with them
