I was reading about this last night, it looks pretty impressive.

I have no idea what I would do with it, I just know that I NEED one!

Anyone ordered one?

Out of interest, what do you use it for?

Still tempted by this.

I've been browsing ebay to look for a Phantom 3 or 4 to see see if I get much use from it before commiting to a more expensive Mavic. They seem to hold money well though. A 3 is still going to be £600+ and a 4 nearer £1000. At that point I may as well go for the Mavic bundles.

For me...I do wonder how much it will be a gimmick in that I am crap at remembering to take photos of times I am out...and then when I do can I be arsed to sit and go through them again? So would it be the same with the drone? How many drones are sat in the box unloved and unused other than for novelty factor? My car comes with park it self option....it only gets used to show people it can!
It's this for me really. I'm terrible for impulse buys. At the time, I need it more than anything! But really it's just a toy. I'm not sure at all if I'd ever have the time to use it. Plus, the regulations on using drones seem to be wholly at best. I need to rear up on them more before I do anything f.

Finding 0% offers on the Mavic now... that almost means I HAVE to buy one. Right?

Having received wife approval I am now in the market for a Mavic Pro. Has anyone found any deals?

Also, I really dont need one until May next year for an epic Germany photo tour trip - should I wait for a Mavic 2?
I've still not bought one, we're off to Scotland for 2 weeks next year touring the islands. I intend to buy something for that and will wait till nearer the time so that I can either buy a new model or pick up a used Mavic bargain.
