DJI Phantom 4 Pro + Drone

[GoBigParts]

Got the spark due to it's size and the fact all my current action cams have the same frame rate and pixels. Not a professional so the video is more than adequate for me.

The new air looks interesting. If I didn't already have a Mavic I may look more into that. Kind of the size of the Spark which would be nice.

I like the better slomo quality and rear sensors, but less range and flight time ruins it for me.

When I looked at it last night there was just not enough "better" things to get me to switch.

I was hoping that maybe I could run my Mavic remote with the AIR and get a cheaper version of the AIR but I did not see that option yet. But that new remote looks much cheaper then the Mavic pro one so it probably would not be that much of a discount anyway.

That thing looks pretty darn cool.

Heres a question.

are there any safety accessories that allow the thing to float??? ... I'd be using it over water videoing my customers boat deliveries etc..


How hard are these things to fly?


.

My business partner has one.
He flew the drone from his summer cabin down to the lakeside, found me, then followed me on my jetski for 15 minutes all over the lake then flew it back up to his cabin.
Thing worked great over open water and yielded some FABULOUSLY fun video.

Thank you for that Christopher...

Sounds like a winner.


I'm kinda wondering about an airbag or float if it lands in the water... I'd hate to have a sunk piece of $1000 equipment.


HMMM.

That might keep it from SINKING.
But if it falls from the sky its going to land electronics side DOWN and flood all the circuitry!

You might survive a Lake Ditch if you are very careful and dry everything out and it just happens to NOT short out.

But if you are over Salt Water, ITS A GONER.

Eric, You can also get insurance on them to cover if you crash them. Most pay $50 to $100 for a policy that has no delectable that also gives you peace of mind if your worried about it.

Thank you all for your patience with my questions!
