Want. Now.

I've got the usual arsenal of Sky Hero X8, FPV racers, Inspire, TBS Disco's etc, so it isn't really necessary. I thought it interesting in how it can be operated using hand gestures and face recognition.

Should be with me in around 3 weeks

Oh yeah, I've been holding off buying a mavic for a while so ordered one of these yesterday.

I can't work out how big, or small that pocket chainsaw is.

Someone has to buy one and post a pic with a ruler or summat.

I'm out ,don't have any money.

Well, if you look at the size of the handle and trigger, and imagine an average sized hand, then it can't be bigger than an electric carving knife really.

What would you actually use it for though? If you already had a jigsaw, scorpion saw, and a circular saw, I mean.

Well I sort of needed it, I just bought 60 x spandex chair covers and 80 bow things in baby blue to put around them, total cost £132, I am having a christening and the venue wanted near enough £350 do provide there own and fit them, ok I have fit themselves on the day which is a bummer.

Anyone want to buy 60 x white spandex chair covers and 80 baby blue bow things for the chairs after the 12th June, they will have been used once for a few hrs, I'm after £65 for the lot for pickup, not sure what post and packaging would be ?

Thinking of pulling the trigger on one myself - where is recommended to buy from? Direct from DJI or somewhere like Jessops with a physical high street store in case I need to use the warranty?

Cheers

That's not frivolous at all. However, you do now have £218 to spend frivolously.

The cheap ones aren't great for long term, multiple use. We did something very similar!

Seriously ... don't ... do ... it

I did (stay in hotels normally 3-4n per week, 45wks of the year) and it cannot be unseen and you'll wish you hadn't

Trust me on this one

They ramp the price right up then give them huge discounts to make people think its a good deal

Oh yes .... I go away every few weeks and don't want confirmation of what I know is there.

When I was younger I dated a quite a few maids in various (expensive) hotels and goodness the things they used to find. Apart from the normal drugs and porn (that shows you how long ago it was ) it staggered me that people thought it was acceptable to leave rooms like that, with every bodily fluid (and solids) left around the place and all surfaces.
