DJI Launches the Mavic Pro, a Significantly More Foldable Drone

It's been quite the season for drone enthusiasts, with not one but two reasonably priced folding drones you can stash in a backpack arriving this month alone. Last week saw the release of the much-anticipated GoPro Karma. Not to be out-droned, market leader DJI announced the Mavic Pro, which folds up into a cute little rectangle. It's got the features you'd expect from DJI, including a 4K camera stabilized by a 3-axis gimbal and the company's handy automated flight features like collision-avoidance, TapFly, and precision hovering. You can even control this whirlybird with gestures and snap hands-free selfies as it hovers overhead. Flight time is 27 minutes, and can exceed 40 mph in "Sport" mode.
