DJI MAVIC PRO
Yup.. it's finally out.. I was lurking in the forum looking for someone to post on this but seems like no one posted yet. So let's just start one. Can delete if there's one similar.
Shipment will start on 15th October 2016. Will be in stores by next month. I believe this MAVIC will be the next big thing since Phantom came out years ago.
Is there any Malaysian vlogger or youtuber that manage to get a hand on this? Could be interesting to find out how the MAVIC flies here.
I'm not going to copy paste all the technical info.. suffice to put the link to DJI MAVIC PRO.
Main point:
The first high quality imaging smart drone that you can bring along for travel without carrying extra luggage.
High quality imaging - capable to take good picture and video.
Smart drone - active tracking, follow-me, smart cinematic camera movement (dolly, crane), one-man operator camera
Easy on luggage - foldable, small in size
Things to consider:
Smaller in size, means lighter in weight - will probably face some issues handling wind. Reviews showed that MAVIC handles that quite well.
Foldable means we're exposed to another mechanical part that may fail due to wear. Loose or too tight..
Smaller FOV.
Go ahead and buy this on
DJI Store.
Free shipping. Tax inclusive, as mentioned on website and as experienced by forumer here. I'll try this myself too.
And there's local distributors here in Malaysia. Check on:
March.my
Shashinki.com
directimaging.com.my
Local price: RM4500.00
Have fun flying!

Today's tip by @szern
Running in new batteries recommendation:
For the first 5 cycles. Fly to 40% and recharge.
For the next 5 cycles. Fly to 30% and recharge - treat this as a gentle run in period for your batteries.
After the Initial 10 cycles fly to 20% and charge.
For long term use and Maximising the life of your Mavic's batteries.
I would recommend setting low voltage alarm at 30% and always aim to land at 20%.
Avoid flying to below 10% during normal usage.
Enjoy and safe flying.
