[QUOTE="Jeplane, post: 875, member: 5"] I was going to get a Mavic. But then I became horrified of all the stories of people crashing them in water, trees, buildings according the the Mavic pilot forum. Granted, the one not crashing them are probably not posting. But I figure it will be easier to justify crashing a $500 product vs a $1000 one. I also will travel constantly with it. So the weight and size is ideal, as well as the simplicity of the controls. In fact, for a quick position somewhere, I don't even need to travel with the remote controller.... It is also my first drone. So I don't nessecarily mind being restricted in distance and height. Perhaps as I am getting more familiar with flights, I can upgrade to a mavic 2 in the future, if I need to. Having the Mavic gimball would be nice, but I like your point and shoot analogy. Although there is no doubt that a DSLR offers more options to shoot an image, I am hoping that I can still get some decent shots. Again, it boils down to the fact that it is easier to justify spending half the price of a Mavic to start with and getting one foot in the drone world. [/QUOTE]
