Very stable too in some obvious wind.
Here's the Parrot, photographed by the Mavic:
Somewhere I've got video of an amazing loss-of-control event with the Walmart drone.

I get paranoid flying at night, I don’t have a proximity
sensor and once below the level of trees and such I worry
about hitting limbs or wires.
I’ve also learned that the later it gets, the more my piloting
skills diminish. Some have suggested that beer is the problem
but I, as a skilled pilot, maintain that the problem is atmospheric.
“I guess-I’ll have to ask the neighbor if he put the dead drone on the wall as a trophy-like one of those Farmers Insurance commercials”
i think they nail the dead ones up like that as a warning to the other drones ...
Righteous and hilarious...all at the same time.
Were these bums on someone’s private land? What’s the justification for harassing people?
Which Parrot model is that?
Bebop 2.
I hate the sound of that so it just gets called “Parrot”.
Who names these dang things?
Parrot has a new one out called “Anafi” and I’m like “Antifa?”
Buddy of mine has a DJI Mavic Pro and it’s amazing, supposedly the Antifa.. er,.. Anafi is equivalent.
Where is this? Bum camps? The language doesn’t sound like US English. I see at least one US-made vehicle, an older Chevy Tahoe, but the majority don’t look like vehicles sold here. The houses don’t look like the US. Relatively tropical but also dry. Driving on the right. No idea where this is.
It’s pretty amazing what you can get in a camera drone for $500 or so these days. They don’t really look like much more than a toy, not that large at all but the speed, stability, range and battery life as well as the image quality are right up there with pro drones of just a few years ago that cost in the thousands of dollars. Foldable, very compact, light. I seriously thought about asking “Santa” for one this year, lol, even though I’m Santa for all intents and purposes anymore.
hey fyi... in your link if you use html, add “target=new” tour you link to open a new tab... js...
I’m on my second GoPro Karma... The first one got salt wateritis in Thailand 2 years ago!! lotta fun!!
Indeed.
They really are a load of fun.
All this drone talk has me wanting to fly today.
My latest from about a month ago... real close call at 7:00. almost lost a drone, camera and a $1,600 Kite!!

Where is this, it almost looks like the inner banks of NC, the mainland side of the sounds. Sand’s not the right color for that, though so it’s not.
Lexington Michigan... it was about 35 degrees that day!! I was gonna go out as well, but after flying thru 4 batteries I got cold and went home!! lol... I have been to the outer banks a few times. great place to kite!!
There ought to be a drone ping list.
Great shot! Ya the Karma is quite stable. its rated (for over all standards) for 25mph winds max. it will do 35mph so I havent pushed the 25 recommendation. 15 minutes a battery kinda sucks though. and they are a $100 a pop...
lol... add me!!
Places like this is why I got mine!! getting to them is a years worth of saving for me but im hoping I have 10 more trips at least!! this isnt mine, just an example! Enjoy!!
