Dji Fires Back With A New Small Drone

[Reize]

I have a $50 toy drone that I play with, but its too basic to learn anything at all.

I actually find the more basic a drone is, the better it is to learn on. Because they don't have fancy stabilization and auto-gyros and auto-takeoffs and auto-landings to aid you.

Well this thing has none of that. I've got what I would call decent at flying it. Problem is it's very breeze sensitive.

I cant decide on which one to get ! I want the Mavic but the Karama has alot more to offer when it comes to being a "All-in-One" drone !

Thought it was a Karma - but if you do end up with a "Karama", I would really like to see that !!?

DJI have been in the Drone scene for years, GoPro on the other hand, only make decent action Cams!

Yes , a Karma not Karama .... lol I really like that the KARMA has a removable gimbal. Those things are expensive !

I know it will be very tempting, but I urge you with all sincerity not to fly it indoors. I've crashed mine twice after ground identification (due to plain floors) and GPS/compass got confused.

I suppose the only drawback is the GoPro drone has the removable gimbal, that's a nice touch.

I've never thought about switching gimbal/camera, there doesn't seem to have been any reason for my usage.

I've posted a couple of videos on motovlog showing footage and bike tracking, you can decide on quality for yourself:

I captured some footage over Scarborough at the weekend too, I'll post that to youtube later

How much do these drones cost? And are they actually worth it? Like i mean sure, im all about getting some hella nice shots of my bike and surrounding area but apart from that i don't really want to buy something for it to collect dust for the rest of the year.

I get taking it to the lake etc to again, get some hella nice shots like what @Matt Leech did. But apart from that i'm in two minds whether to invest in one

 

[Matt Leech]

If you're in two minds, and you're not a gadget freak, and cost might be an issue, and you barely have enough time in your life already...don't buy one.

 

[2WV]

Thanks for the advice. Yeah far to busy with life at the moment. I've had to step away from the challenges because of it too

Putting the drone in Hippo-drone I see.

It was actually somit I didn't see happening until someone asked me recently. I love drones for videos but never thought I could afford one so avoided that direction. I currently only plan on the drone stuff complimenting my motovlogs.... I have an interest in them but that is mostly away from Youtube, although I guess both go hand in hand.
