Much more stable then the older drone I had (which did not have the stabilizing gimble – which makes all the difference in the world for stability). New drone pretty slick.

Yea, for the most part they seem to rebound fine after crashes. Everyone I know who has one has crashed it at least once! Are you in Thailand now?

Raymond – I just saw the DJ Mavic for the first time in the Maldives and my friend in Bangkok just got one. Looking at upgrading at some point – that one is so compact compared to the one I have which is a bit klunky.

I was in Koh Samui in July 2016 and saw a few people flying them. One of the guys showed me the footage he had recorded – it was amazing. Great little gadgets! Nice post.

The drone shop in Bangkok is first rate in case you run into needing any repairs.

Nice Droning dude! Amazing how inexpensive these things are, these days! I\’m thinking of investing in one soon. Especially to record a gorgeous place like Thailand. Classic Land of Smiles in those shots. One of my fave places on earth and wow do I miss the spot. Thanks for sharing!

Ryan
