DJI Heads Off GoPro With Smart, Compact Mavic Pro Drone

GoPro Inc. GPRO -3.85 % 's new Karma drone isn't on sale yet, but it already has a nemesis, the Mavic Pro--a new quadcopter introduced on Tuesday by SZ DJI Technology Co., the Chinese company that has risen to dominance in the consumer drone space. Both drones are small enough to carry in a backpack, both feature foldable propeller arms, and both connect to 4K cameras. But they have some differences in capabilities and price. The Mavic Pro has a built-in camera and will sell for 1,000. GoPro will sell its Karma drone for 799, but cameras are sold separately.
