Lots of "yay this is cool" comments here, but can anyone compare this to Karma and explain why this is actually (supposedly) better? Karma seemed like overall a better drone, and being able to have drone independent of the camera seems like a huge upside. Besides, you also get a stabilizer stick, which is great in any non-air photography/video. From a lame-man's glance, Karma is still a better choice?

@kirillzubovsky Differences between Mavic and Karma:
- Mavic's flying distance is 4 miles, Karma: 0.62 miles.
- Mavic's flight time is 27 minutes, Karma: 20 minutes.
- Mavic is much smaller and portable than Karma.
- Mavic can track and follow you around, Karma can't.
- You can control Mavic using gestures, so you can film yourself instead of piloting the drone.
- Mavic is easier to use. It has obstacle avoidance to prevent crashes, Karma doesn't.
- DJI has built over 10 drones and Mavic is a mature product. Karma is GoPro's first drone, it is missing many features and will have more teething problems.
- Mavic costs $1,000 and Karma is $1,100 (with camera), but you get a handheld stabilizer with it.
If you need a handheld stabilizer to go with Mavic, you could get DJI OSMO Mobile to stabilize your smart video or DJI OSMO with 4K camera.

@ravishahuja @kirillzubovsky Thanks for adding these. It makes comparing both drones very simple.

@ravishahuja @kirillzubovsky Mavic is the better drone. Karma is a better all around storytelling tool. If I were going on a hike and could only bring Mavic or Karma, I'd pick Karma because of the detachable gimbal and camera (drone footage alone gets boring). But if you already have a second camera or only want a drone, Mavic is a good choice.
