I dunno.  The size of the MP beats all of this for me.

Get back to me when they have all these features in a drone the size of the MP.

Perfect example of buying what works for you. You like an a6000 over a larger DSLR too, unlike me.

Try lugging this thing on a trip like Road to Hana and you'll change your tune.

Have you seen SF's pockets?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

You can fit a P4P in SF's pockets.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the longest range ones are actually unarmed surveillance ones...

They're both longer then the typical consumer versions which last 20-30 min

Bestbuy has the Mavic in stock with 2 day delivery:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/dji-mavic-pro-quadcopter-with-remote-controller-gray/5621780.p?skuId=5621780

Most places had it, in and out of stock over the past few weeks. It's the fly more combo that was heavily on backorder.

I wouldn't go with most places, I've been following this for a while. The only store that I know showed stock was bestbuy, and some ppl had luck with Apple.
Other then that I didn't hear or see any other store that had stock.
