I dont think so. My Spark has a vinyl wrap on it and I still get the same range I always got out of it

The Ehang 184.. from the same company that makes toy drones as well. I would love to take a flight in one of these, though I must admit it is counter intuitive to get into an unmanned vehicle that you have no control over, that would take some getting used to. I hear that Dubai already uses...

Thats what I thought, there is simply no room or provision for an IR lens on a Mavic.. had to be a Phantom or Inspire
