Apple:)

Post by Graham Lawrie »

I was visiting my daughter who is at University in Glasgow yesterday(100 miles away, 160km)

While passing the time with my son while the Mrs shopped i went into an Apple store. I recently bought an Ipad 2(£80 / $115) , 2nd hand off Ebay in immaculate condition for use with my DJI Phantom 3 Standard. It works very well.

The tech gadgets in the store were amazing and so were the prices.

However they had loads of "Drones" and robots and gadgets that interact with their devices. I am a Samsung guy not Apple. It gave me a great opportunity to see the Mavic, Mavic Pro and DJI Spark up close and personal. Really like them, however will have to wait a few years to pick up a second hand one off Ebay:)

They are really well made with the Spark feeling very tiny and the camera even smaller.
Unfortunately no pictures as i left my phone in the car:(

Hey Graham. That's pretty cool you get the chance to see the drones up close and personal. Where I'm at there's no local hobby store or places like that to actually see the product. I just go by what I here or see on site or youtube. Out of all three, Mavic, Mavic Pro or DJI spark which one would you consider getting by the looks of them and the quality build?

The store is 160km from me:) it takes 2 1/2 hrs to get there as the roads are so bad.

The build quality is excellent on all 3, but i would go fro the Mavic Pro:)

On another note I will never buy another apple product, shit firmware care and updates that make older working products obsolete
