I was all in on the GoPro Karma...for about one week.

Haha. Same here. Just preordered the Mavic. The video that Casey Neistat put up yesterday sold me on it.

Also DJI (and a couple others) offer PayPal Credit for payment aka you have 6 months to pay for it. I was going to wait until Christmas but I'll just pay for it then. ha

Phantom 4 is on ebay. I love it, but the Mavic is going to be so much easier for hiking, camping, airports, and boating.

I used to dabble with collective pitch choppers and still play with RC cars and trucks. The drone thing is an entirely different animal. You only use about 2% of your collective pitch skills. My 8 year old can fly my Phantom 4 well enough for taking great photos. Waterproofing would be useless unless you want to fly in the rain. I have flown my Phantom 4 for over 30 hours since i bought it, probably 90% of that over water and have never been slightly concerned with crashing.
