Anybody into drones, quad copters, etc....?

I`ve had the itch to grab one of the DJI Phantoms something terrible lately
 
I`ve only played around with and crashed cheap camera-less drones. The video quality a DJI Phantom 4 produces is amazing. I`m guessing you`ve seen the new offerings from both GoPro (Karma) and DJI (Mavic)? Both look like they`ll be fun to play with.

Mavic:


Karma:
 
Yeah, those both look incredible. It`d be touch to choose between the two. The smaller size of the Mavic is great, but I love that the karma has the hand held gimbal (plus I already have a GoPro 4)
 
For me, videos like that are the best reason to pick up a drone/ make it a hobby. But it also means having a view worth photographing - not sure I have that! Casey Neistat on YouTube did a review of the new Mavic yesterday:


(watch the whole thing for the review or skip to 10m 20s to see the footage)

Pretty amazing footage from something so small!!!

Edit: Wow! Casey just posted a new side by side compairson of the drones!!

 
The Mavic Pro looks to be the bees knees. I could throw that baby in my backpack on our snowmobile trips and get some really cool footage up in the U.P.
 
Just saw the new Mavic video this morning and the karma last week. Even though I have a GoPro Hero 4, I would lend toward buying a Mavic (if/when I have money). For now I want to see how durable these two drones are

agreed. the size, range, and flight control features are too appealing to pass up for the karma.
 
Sub`d. I have had the itch for a drone as well. Just what I need another hobby! Lol. I`m not sure which one I would like to have, but it looks like it could be a ton of fun. I love the idea of the GoPro and the included gimbal.
