Ok, in retrospect, it might be a BIT much.

It is not possible to look anything but ridiculous wearing that contraption, but it's the shit 3 different ways.

You?

Whats the payload on one of those suckers?

The Mavic Air isn't really good for any payload - it's more for zooming around taking pictures and shit.

The Mavic's big brother, the Phantom 3, is a little slow technologically, but he can lift up to 600-800 grams (over a pound and a half); the Mavic Air with flight battery weighs in at 430 grams (under a pound). Seems handy.

These things seem interesting but can be annoying. Last year laying on the beach in Grand Cayman I see something in the sky out over the water. Thought "that's a funny looking bird?" About that time it drops dramatically comes whistling in towards the beach swoops up and over the top of the hotel to hover for a few seconds then slides off to the side to apparently land in the nearby parking lot. My guess is photo shoot for the fairly new hotel. Sounded like a sh!t load of angry bees! If I would have had a 12 gauge things would have been different!

Back in the day of remote control airplanes even this little podunk city had an ordinance restricting the flying to certain areas, like the RC airport. Guess things have changed!?

How bout a pic with wearing the "control" apparatus and not on PeePeeEye!?

I’m still trying to figure out what the three different ways are.

Yeah...You're right I had to re-read that and now am more confused than ever...

One of my favorite business quotes fits nicely here:

“I realize that I have not succeeded in answering all of your questions…Indeed, I have not answered any of them completely."

"The answers I have found only serve to raise a whole new set of questions, which only lead to more problems, some of which we weren’t even aware were problems."

"To sum it all up…In some ways I feel we are as confused as ever, but I believe we are confused on a higher level and about more important things…”
