GoPRO KARMA vs DJI Mavic Pro

The drones have taken up the Gen z by storm, the recent release about the new ones has been the talk of the town! Let's see what they're up to and how different they're from each other.  First, even if they are alike in portability, the latter has built-in Camera, the former is designed to work with several GoPRO cameras.  Given that, both of these multi-rotors are portable, but how portable are they? The Mavic has the edge! Both of them use a folding design to make them easy to carry around, but Mavic is lighter and folds down as small as a bottle of water! Karma, will however when folded will fit into a backpack, making it much smaller and lighter than the wrongly called drones. Okay, the features!

Managing to withhold by the incense stick's smell, we proceed and in a corner we came  across this old woman, in her late 80's sitting on the raised surface of that very small banana hammock store. She cuts it to neat, clean slices ready to be sold. Her white hair set loose and her only tooth protruding every time she grins. Finding her intriguing, we get set to know about her.

We stare,'Oh 55 years!' we presume that this work should have been carried out by her even in Selvapuram. She then continue
