    The mavic looks amazing, surprised how small it is. The video quality is great, not as good as the p4

    Mavic is a more of a portable drone while its good but the Phantom 4 is still their top drone.

    Just about but the Mavic is far far more portable and has nearly all the same features as the P4.

    Any idea if the discount extends to the Mavic?

    It normally extends to newest model the April after its release.

    The phantom has a better video quality and a wider lense to capture more and is still rated higher than Mavic in all aspects other than portability.

    Just a heads up on the Mavic video quality. The focus on the Mavic lens is variable. Most early reviews didn't realise this and resulted in soft footage which was compared against other drones. YouTube don't offer a "replace video" option so most of those reviewers left their inaccurate videos online as they were getting big viewer traffic ($$$).

    Under Irish aviation law, drones over 1KG must be registered: https://www.iaa.ie/general-aviation/drones

    The phantom 4 is 1.38kg and the mavic is 0.74kg so the mavic is legal to fly without registering it.

    So the mavic offers peace of mind. If you have a Phantom 4 and piss people off somehow flying it, you could be prosecuted for not registering it and face a fine of up to €5,000 and/or six months in prison... I'm pretty sure that has never happened but it's a possibility none the less.

    The whole registration is a load of BS. I registered my Phantom 4, and it took under a mins for the whole process and I didnt even have to enter any details about the drone expect its name so dont let that stop you from buying it.
