X’mas Gift Idea 1: A foldable drone that fits in your knapsack!

DJI Mavic Pro drone

Whether it's a gift idea for someone or to pamper yourself, or just getting ready to splurge your bonus on a new tech toy, we've got some nice recommendations and you might even stand a chance to win some of them!

Drones are definitely one of the most talked about tech gadgets this year, next to VR gaming. While they may not be very practical for use within Singapore’s limited open space and several airspace restrictions, they have the ability to capture wonderful memories from your overseas vacations and scenic landscapes in ways you could have never personally captured before.

One difference this year round is the push to make capable drones that are handier in size and the DJI Mavi Pro comes out ahead of the competition spectacularly. For once, you don’t have to pack a separate luggage for your drone as the Mavic Pro is seriously compact (probably less than the space taken by a shoe box) and weighs just over 700 grams. It’s speedy too with a claimed top speed of 65km/h and has a rated flight time of up to 27 minutes with the default battery pack. Using its 12MP camera, it’s able to record Full HD and even 4K videos on a 3-axis gimbal that should provide the much needed stabilization for smooth captures. Oh and it has obstacle-detection too.

It’s expensive at US$1,059, but hey, memories are priceless, right?
