Ugh WIFI

 

[msinger]

Me too

I got the Fly More Black

The WiFi is a big disappointment. Was really hoping for OccuSync.

 

[msinger]

I decided to go with white.

It does connect the RC with cable though

 

[kakao]

No thanks ..

Which is good. My worry is that the goggles will require a wired connection like the Spark today. Which limits ability to be able to have a "passenger" enjoy the flight via goggles while the pilot flys.

Specs don't seem very impressive for $800. No Occusync? Goggle resolution 720p?

Packed with other technology though

It would have been a great $600 replacement for the Spark, but who wouldn't spend another $200 or less for a Mavic?
Mavics have sold at Costco for the same price as the Mavic Air, in fact.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes for the White Hats to get it opened up to see what its real performance can be.........

I'm seconds away from ordering mainly due to the camera looking better then the MP, 100Mbps over 60. I rarely take mine out of VLOS so the reduced range isn't too concerning.

 

[2nckayakers]

Nope not buying it. Sure it is smaller, but I don't use gesture control and the additional specs just don't impress me. Now if they had made it come in under .55 lbs, then it would have impressed me! LOL

Ordered!!, ended up getting white just in case they do what they did with the spark and shipped the white versions first.

Will this link wirelessly through Ocusync with dji goggles like the Mavic Pro?

 

[msinger]

DJI just announced they will start shipping on January 28th.

Here's the specs: DJI - The World Leader in Camera Drones/Quadcopters for Aerial Photography
I don't see any mention of Occusync, and they say Goggle resolution is 720p.

So whats the point of this drone if you already own a mavic?
