The mavic is my brother's but i paid about 1/3 of the purchase price. It is the "fly more" combo. Very nice drone. Folds to a size less than half a loaf of bread. Set it to follow me mode and let it film your gunna spin fishing from the air. Very stable for video filming. Still shots are not so great.
Thanks Earl, it was one of the drones that I was most interested in for filming sounds like it might fit the bill pretty well

Nicee. I also got myself a jigging rod from veritas. They are certainly very flimsy for their size.
What size reel are you getting.

Nice one mate :thumbsup: I'm not into the boat stuff ie I don't have a boat :( but a mate recently bought a HDS9 I nearly cried when he told me the price :o_0: Is there that much difference between the 9ti and the HDS9 just curios as it seems like a lot of money for the HDS.

Burnt another $100 for memory unit and $270 for extra batteries. I quickly ran out of battery during the test flight today. :-(

I may start pole dancing to pay for the next purchases.

Not as bad as the HDS units mate, i believe its about 400 bucks between the 7 and 9 inch unit models, the 12 inch model jumps up in price quite a bit.
when i bough the 7 inch unit the 9 and 12 weren't released yet, they have just released recently, so i decided to upgrade..
