With the the kind of exhilarating non-negotiable affinity
@Dariusmixich and
@DerStig is presenting towards their favourite non Yuneec product, it begs the question: " what the heck they are doing here in Yuneec flyers forum, wasting their precious time on " BabyBoomers sporting Yuneec blinders " like me !? Go live in the all happy DJi land! LOL
BTW, if you had bothered to read, I made my return to idea of purchasing the Yuneec products conditional. Again, at this point if I have to purchase a foldable quad it would be a "
flying Hero5 with FREE hand held camera gimbal, a
system that doesn't need to risk my $500 phone ( to run the phone app ) to operate. More importantly Karma has superior design in that
props don't come in the shot and camera focus doesn't require special attention. And, I am just hoping that the Karma's articulating joints aren't as bad as what the reports are about
Mavic's arms becoming unruly and freewheely to the point testers had to hold them in place with gaffer tapes while testing them in remote areas. Perhaps that will be fixed on the final release units and for sure the next versions. Also it's said that by the time release DJi may have a controller model ready with built in touch screen ( like Karma ) for extra money. What a wast though, because all Dji flyers will hate that ". All n All not a bad machine but far from the the usual fanboys' fanfare.
in case you don't like to read a block of text:
- Karma's GoPro Hero5 - 4K is removable ( I don't like the ultra wide though ) ( I always wished Yuneec had inline-GoPro for the camera )
- Karma gives you a FREE near perfect Gimbal that goes onto a universe of GoPro mounts ( Yuneec does that too, sans univers )
- Karma's controller has a built in screen ( I can barely afford one smart phone a year )
- Karma is a GoPro with the legendary customer support ( reading this Yuneec !? )
- Karma is ok in flying but awesome in image capture. Quality Image is what I'm looking for in a flying machine ( reading this Yuneec !? )
- Karma land is full of happy polite citizens ( gorgeous looking surfers, crazy Cliff jumpers, crazier mountain bikers ... they help you to forget the pains and geriatrics meds )
- Karma is not a DJi and I know only this one is good enough for many.
C'mmon guys this suppose to be fun/job.
