    This one goes above the clouds it amazing. One day soon I will be rich and afford it

    • +5

      The maximum altitude is limited by software, I believe to either 400m or 500m. It is still way above the CASA legal limit of 120m.

      • +2

        pretty sure the 120m limit is only "In controlled airspace, which covers most Australian cities, you must not fly higher than 120 metres (400 feet) above the ground."

        Edit: where to find uncontrolled airspace is the trick.

        • -1

          you could fly this drone in the hight mountain. I have seen a video on the YouTuBe to tell this trick.

        • -4

          @ShaNn:

          Learn2english.

  • +2

    Here's a + since I like this quad, but I think you can still get it for around 1400 from UAVdepot if the listing is available although the 10% off code is a different one now.

    • +2

      PS: if you are going overseas, this would be a better choice since you can claim TRS on this and get it down to 1343 :)

      • Correct, and duly noted in the description.

        • +5

          noticed that mate, just a slight correction, the GST refund is actually around 9% (1/11 to be precise). Cheers!

      • Pretty sure uavdepot don't issue a tax invoice so no trs… oops missed you were talking about Ted's..

      • -2

        Dumb question. Do you have to carry it with you to show them the good or just the receipt?

      • -1

        Does anyone know how will they issue the invoice for pre orders?

        I'm still 3 months away from my trip but want to make sure I do have this before my trip.

        If I do get the drone in 2 months time worst case, will they issue a new invoice dated when the drone is shipped? Or will the invoice dated today?

        • +1

          I'm guessing they'll issue the invoice on the date of the shipment.

        • It should be invoiced on the date they charge your credit card. So if you have to pre-pay, then the invoice date is the order date. If they only charge your card when they ship, then it will be the shipping date.

        • @Sleepycat3: They charged my credit card already. If its a pre-order and they deliver the drone in 2 months time, with what you're saying I'll be left with only 10 months warranty from the invoice date. Wouldn't that be against consumer law?

        • +1

          Asked Live Chat for you, they said the invoice date will be the date of the product shipping to you, not the date of the pre-order. :)

        • @deepansh:
          To get the discount you would need to make a deposit in full on a customer order before the end of trade tomorrow. (15th/1st)

          When the goods are in stock you would be contacted and the goods sold out on an invoice (dated the day of supply)

          If stock arrived early there should be no issue waiting a week to collect stock, to be able to claim GST at the airport, just let the store know and they should be able to help you out there.

    • Link?

  • You forgot 1.9% cashrewards so $1450
    But in USA $999US gets you fly more pack which converted is $1326!
    Au Tax and profit from sellers!

    • -6

      Fair enough. You still didn't upvote brother.

    • I think its USD 1299 for the fly more pack

      • Flymore Pack is Mavic + 1 battery + 1 extra or + 2 extra batteries?

        • +2

          2 extra in the flymore pack, so 3 batteries all up

  • Not sure if I'm missing something. But once you add to cart and go to checkout it shows full normal price.

    • Same..??

  • Maybe the 13% discount doesn't apply for preorders?

    • It's doing it on all items… just tried to checkout with a Fuji xt2 and no luck

  • +2

    Please put pre-order in title

  • +2

    Unlikely to get TRS on any of these. You have to order it, receive it and be travelling within 60 days of the first step.
    Generally orders have been taking around 1 to 2 months, so you'd have to be pretty lucky for this to fall within your window.
    I was hoping to get one before I travel to Japan in 10 days… Don't like my chances.

    • +2

      This would have been awesome in Japan. Hope you get it in time.

    • +1

      Why not do the ring around at JB/HN? You might get lucky and even if it wasn't a pre order you're punting getting it in 10 days.

      • I'm certainly giving it a go, so far no joy though. They've all got back orders to fill till March…. Maybe if I slip the right person a $50….

    • It shows that they ship in 3 days on the dji website.. So order with fast postage and hope for the best.

    • Not in my experience. As long as the invoice shows the date that it's shipped, then that's the date the customs officer will look at for TRS purposes and that's when the 60 days should start.

      • Thanks for that mate. I've already had a bit of a look into them. They're pretty sensible, common sense rules (except maybe the 150m height restriction).
        I'm just going to Hokkaido for a snow trip, so if I do manage to snag a Mavic, flying around won't be an issue in the back country. :)

  • +2

    I've got one of these. Love it. Lots of restrictions here and overseas though. So please do your research.

    CASA guidelines for Australia:
    https://www.casa.gov.au/modelaircraft

    Laws/restrictions in other countries:
    https://uavsystemsinternational.com/drone-laws-by-country/

    • How strict are the in enforcing these?

      "You must not fly closer than 30 metres to vehicles, boats, buildings or people." This pretty much limits it to nowhere really.

      • +3

        Yeah, I don't condone stupidity, but there are definitely non-certified drone police out there.

      • +2

        CASA have no one doing proactive inspections. To report anyone, you need their details.
        CASA are also trying to infer that their guidelines are laws, when they are not. Essentially the CASA guidelines if applied would mean that nobody could fly any drone anywhere, even in your own home or back yard.

        • Sure except you could get done by your own silliness (posting a Bunnings snag run video for example).

        • Is it not the law? If it isn't then how can the issue a fine for not following it?

          I'm genuinely asking as I'm researching whether it's worthwhile to invest in UAV or not.

          I'm not planning to do anything stupid or danger the public but their guidelines are also a bit stupid to be honest.

        • +2

          Basically, like most things AU, you can't really do much with it 'legally'.

        • @noone: I do my best to follow CASA's guidelines. But there have been instances where I've brought the Mavic in to land and kids run in and try to catch it thinking it's a toy. I've had to abort my landing and I've had to resort to landing on my car to keep clear of people.

          I think realistically like with most things. You'll get in trouble if you do something stupid or just plain bad luck.

          I'd certainly review my footage before publishing it to the internet. I've seen some people remove pictures where it clearly shows the UAV being used against CASA's guidelines.

          Having said the above. The Mavic is a lot of fun to fly and it takes stunning pictures and video.

        • @bluechan: Thanks for your input.

          My main purpose would be just for private photos and videos of holidays so I won't be publishing stuff on the internet.

        • +1

          @noone: In that case have a look at the second link I posted. So far I've taken it to China and Malaysia. I was flagged down by Chinese police on most occasion when I tried to fly. I didn't have any trouble in Malaysia. Although I went during monsoon season so didn't have that many opportunities to fly there… A friend of mine sent me a picture from South Korea where he was skiing. Showing a big sign saying NO DRONES ALLOWED. So yeah some countries are more UAV friendly than others.

        • @bluechan:

          Depends on your location - did you try to fly in a city area in China? You could have been close to a sensitive area (a lot of Asian countries are very touchy about this for example police stations, government buildings etc).

      • They must have some really smart people phrasing it that way to prevent any drone from flying.

    • One more thing. If you do buy this UAV. I highly recommend an Android app called "UAV Forecast". It provides you weather data and it warns you if you are near airports or helipads.

  • Online chat have advised that due to a large number of orders this morning waiting time up to 4 weeks. Will see what other offers come up elsewhere now that stock starting to appear.

    • I just got told. 6-8. Weeks now

  • https://www.teds.com.au/gopro-karma-drone

    $100 more than the RRP:

    https://shop.gopro.com/APAC/karma

    Guess I'll avoid Teds again.

    • +2

      And I'm the opposite - have bought large ticket items from them at substantial discounts. I predict karma will struggle, that price does not include a camera at all and none of the avoidance features of the mavic.

      • Maybe they will relaunch the Karma with be features.

        • Not according to the website - same drone although hopefully these won't fall out of the sky.

      • I wasn't trying to compare the two products as both have different advantages, just that the karma is $100 more than RRP. Got to protect my Ozzy Bargain peeps.

        • Fair enough - it appears that digidrect are doing a pre order for $1395!

  • Thinking of getting this. Does the Fly More Combo worth it? Or should I just go with the single drone itself?

    TIA!

    • I personally think the combo is worth it. The extra batteries can double as a power bank with the supplied adapter. Very handy when traveling.

    • You're on OzBargain. The drone itself wi do the job and you can buy the eztra parts that you need after for cheaper. And only the parts that you need. The leather carrying case is way over priced.

    • I personally think the bag is too small. The mavic and controller are a tight fit with 2 extra batteries in the side pockets. There isn't enough room to fit chargers in the bag.

      The rest of the stuff is up to you. Will you be charging batteries in your car? Do you need the Battery to USB converter? The charging hub is useful and so will the extra props. Extra batteries are a must if you want to fly for more than 20 minutes.

    • The basic pack also includes two spare props.

      I got the basic pack and batteries separately, then got a three way AC charger and $15 car charger from fleabay. Also got a much better bag (IMO) for $28.

      • The extra batteries itself would cost about $150 wouldn't it? so 2 extra would be $300 already.

        Would be more expensive if comparing with after TRS prices ($387 extra for fly more combo)

        • True, but OP didn't mention TRS?

        • @CH: He did :)

        • @noone: Should've gone to SpecsSavers ;)

          clause: "Thinking of getting this. Does the Fly More Combo worth it? Or should I just go with the single drone itself?

          TIA!".

        • @CH: Sorry I thought OP as in the OP of this deal

    • if you can claim TRS, then fly more combo is worth it, if not you should be able to buy the drone and then purchase whatever you need separately at a cheaper rate.

  • +1

    For those interested in the TRS scheme for the GST, just spoke with Live Chat about the dating of the invoice. Emma from Live support confirmed that the invoice will be dated on the day the item is shipped not the day the item is purchased/pre-ordered. Hope that helps any fellow travelers out.

  • +8

    It's a good drone. I bought one from China in November because it was cheaper (about AUD$1550 it was the flymore package). For $1914 local Aussie stock it's not bad at all.
    Just had a trip to Tasmania with it and used it to take more photos and videos than my proper camera. It's incredibly stable for its size. People kept asking me about it. Happy to show a video clip I made using the drone and the DJI GO app on iPhone.

      Where abouts did you buy from in China? Online at all?

      • Bought from DJI official TMall store.

    • did you do any colour grading?

      • I'm new to videos, I guess you mean post-processing? i only did some quick adjustmenst in the app, nothing fancy, no computer involved

        • the brightness/contrast of my videos turn out to be slightly darker. Do you use auto mode?

          Just found this video, I'm going play with different settings.

        • +1

          @wjb:

          Hey blokes, found this video whilst looking at other Mavic related clips - claims to have ideal settings for "cinema smooth" flying - mostly gimbal related tweaks - and some suggestions for colour grading / post production.

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYNcTHF8B3w

          The guy hosting it is a complete cock but the information is interesting.

    • Nice! Was that Coles/Wineglass Bay at Freycinet at the end?

    • I think you just pushed me to get one of these

  • +1

    Got a flymore

  • Hi Guys. Can someone explain me the way to claim TRS please?
    I am gonna buy 5d mark4, 24-70, and 16-35.
    So when I claim the TRS at the airport(Adelaide), do I have take all the products,boxes and receipt that I purchased? or I can just take receipt?

      • Thanks mate.
        I need take all the products and receipt.
        However, If I purchase DJI mavic pro today and It seem like it can not be delivered by time I go overseas.
        For this case, what can I do? I don't have physical product with me.
        Does anyone has any idea with this case?

        • You would have to arrange another overseas trip within 60 days of the Mavic being sent.

          Invoice is issued when item is sent, not when you made the payment.

        • @noone: Thanks for your reply.

    • +1

      You'll realise with the 24-70 (if you're getting the 2.8), you'll hardly take out the 16-35 to use due to overlap. You may want to re-evaluate buying both the 16-35 and 24-70. You'll better off be with one zoom and one prime for extra low light.

      • I have the 16-35 f4 and 24-70 2.8 and funnily enough, the 16-35 spends the most time on my body. It's such a sharp versatile lens.

        • That's really down to preference also.

          I personally go for 16-35 f2.8 as well as my base with either the 50 f1.2, 85 f1.2 or 135 f2 depending on location and event. My travel setup is 16-35 and 50 and I hardly ever take out the 24-70 f2.8 or 70-200 2.8…it sits in the safe almost all year round… might consider selling it at some point.
