DJI’s new foldable drone, the Mavic Pro, looks incredible. The announcement comes about one week after the GoPro Karma, another foldable drone, was announced. So how do the two flexy drones stack up against each other? It depends who is flying and under what conditions. On basic specs, the DJI Mavic Pro seems to have bested the GoPro Karma in several categories. It has a faster top speed (40 mph versus 35 mph), it has a longer battery life (27 minutes versus 20 minutes), and it can even be outfitted with any phone or tablet you want. The Mavic Pro is also small enough to fit uncomfortably into a pair of jean pockets. The Karma, on the other hand, requires a backpack (or similarly-sized vessel) to be transported from place to place. The first difference you’ll notice between both drones is the controllers. The GoPro Karma ships with a controller using a built-in display and packs up nicely into the little backpack that comes with the Karma. The Mavic Pro has an optional controller, meaning you can instead operate the device from your phone.

The controller that DJI sells separately can be paired with any phone if you want to see preview preview video while you’re flying.nitehawk backpack Going deeper, the Mavic Pro comes with five-camera obstacle avoidance system similar to the one in the Phantom 4. osprey sojourn backpack reviewThe GoPro Karma doesn’t have any obstacle avoidance features, though, as one of our testers found out the hard way, DJI’s sensors don’t work in every scenario. backpack tt observer packDJI’s camera system also enables some cool features such as gesture control. wyndmere backpackFor example, moving your hands in the shape of a square prompts the drone to take a picture from the drone’s camera. oliveve backpack

It’s a neat trick (especially during a live demo), but my guess is that the gesture controls won’t be nearly as practical in real life. oakley vigor backpack reviewThe Mavic Pro also comes with some cool follow modes. The drone can lead you in front, follow you at a profile and do a cool trick where it files circles around you as you move. The smart flying capabilities are enabled by the cameras and sensors on the drone. It’s still unclear whether the GoPro Karma will offer a follow me function, but we’re really hope so given the adventure-loving customer base.One aspect that could be the difference maker for these competing foldable drone systems is their camera systems. The DJI Mavic Pro ships with a camera that shoots 4K video, but it’s bolted to the drone, so you can’t exactly use it while you’re not flying the drone around. The GoPro Karma was built to combat these type of situations.

It can be outfitted with the new GoPro Hero 5 Black, the Hero 5 Session, Hero 4, and Hero 3 cameras. If you already own one of theses cameras, the Karma is a great way to get them airborne, but if you still need to buy one, it could just make the cost of your aerial rig a lot more expensive. Another neat feature of the GoPro Karma is its removable stabilizer that can be used as a handheld gimbal for shooting nice clean shots on or off the drone. When it comes to versatility of video recording, the GoPro Karma easily beats DJI.As for price, the DJI Mavic Pro sells for $750 without the remote control (which means you’d have to use your phone or tablet to control it) or $1,000 with the controller. The GoPro Karma sells for a flat price of $800 and comes with a controller that uses a built-in display. The total cost depends on what camera you strap to it. It costs $1000 with a GoPro Hero 5 Session, and $1100 with a GoPro Hero 5 Black. When it comes to drones and budgets, there’s not a one-size-fits-all situation, so the perfect foldable drone will be a matter of preference.

Without spending too much time flying either drone, though, it looks like the DJI has a slight edge in terms of performance and value.Obviously, we’ll need to take both of these drones out for a true head-to-head test flight in order to determine which is the best. We’re hoping to get our hands on both drones in the coming weeks so we can really test the claims both companies are making. Ahead of that head-to-head battle, it looks like DJI has the slight edge, at least on paper. Very nice knife, but wish there were more options for cary, such as a horizontal belt carry. BOUGHT MY BUCK MAVERICK MODEL #877 I FOUND IT AT MY LOCAL WALMART BACK IN THE SPORTING GOODS SECTION. WHEN I SEEN THIS ONE WAS USA MADE AND ONLY COST ME $23.00 MINE HAS A ALL WHITE HANDLE WHICH I FOUND OUT THE WHITE HANDLE ONE'S WITH USA MADE STAMP WAS DONE FOR WALMART ONLY TO SELL AND ONCE THEY ARE GONE THEIR WILL BE NO MORE. THE ONE'S BUCK MAKES ARE CHINA MADE BUT FROM WHAT I HEAR THEY ARE GONNA START MAKING THEM THIS YEAR 2016 WITH ALL USA MADE STEEL WHICH IM GLAD TO SEE.

I BOUGHT MINE THANKSGIVING NIGHT AND CARRIED IT DEER HUNTING ALL THAT WEEK. THIS KNIFE WILL MAKE A GREAT KNIFE TO SQUIRRL HUNT AND RABBIT HUNT WITH I CANT WAIT TO GET TO USE IT MORE SOON I HOPE. RIGHT NOW IT IS KEPT IN MY HUNTING BACKPACK ALONG WITH MY BUCK 102 WOODSMAN, 679 MAX LITE GUT HOOK, 673 MAX LIGHT. Im a firefighter and i got the knife to put on my firefighter gear for cutting seatbelts wires etc well i love the knife the sheath were the belt loop connects with the screw it keeps coming out and i have lot the knife several times which is bad if i need to cut a person out of a car i have the maverick knife 877E I love this knife great for skinning deer and everyday carry, couldn't ask for better quality. I have carried this knife for two seasons now and I can't express how great of a whitetail knife it is. It allows me to field dress a deer in no time. The handle fits my hand perfectly and allows me to maneuver the knife effortlessly. The blade is just the right length to take care of business and it holds its edge well.

I bought the white handled USA version at Walmart and wish I could get another one for my son. Wonderful knife, keep the great products coming! I have owned this knife for about a month I have done hard and light use. And it keeps a great edge. I highly recommend this knifeLightweight yet extremely dense. Full tang, drop point if you can't tell from the picture (not in description). The sheath is superb, but I wish it had a belt-clip rather than a closed loop (not in picture). You can easily adjust the cant with a small hex. Too small for me, I bought it for my wife, fits her hand. My question is that the package and the blade says USA but the Buck Website says the knife is imported. I would like to limit my purchases to MADE IN THE USA if possible. Appears to be well made, but still I want honesty along with quality. Bought this knife to put in m tackle box. The more check it out the more I like it. Good piece of steel, well thought out design. The one I have is marked made in the usa, has white handle and two lanard holes in the sheath.

If the sheath had four more holes in it to allow ou to rotate the belt clip for inside the waistband carr it.would be perfect SEEN THIS KNIFE AT MY LOCAL WALMART LAST NIGHT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A COOL KNIFE TO TAKE AND PUT IN MY HUNTING BACKPACK IT WAS ONLY $22.00 AND USA MADE . GONNA TAKE IT WITH ME DEER HUNTING MONDAY MORNING AND CARRY IT ALL WEEK ALONG WITH MY 1974 BUCK 110 FOLDING HUNTER. HOPE I GET TO USE IT. I AM ALSO TAKING MY 102 WOODSMAN, MAXLITE 673, MAXLITE 679 AND MY BUCK 390 OMNI PACKLITE GUTHOOK COMBO KNIFE AS WELL. This is a great knife the blade can really take on on heck of a edge. The shape of the handle looks a little weird but it does just as buck advertise it fits perfectly in your hand and feels wonderful. The holster is a little less desired the knife fits lose and rattles around. Just a personal opinion I wish that buck would stick to their products being made here in the good old USA and not made in China like this knife other than that this is a great knife.
