Let ’s be dead clear on this . Gold - plating anything , be it a phone , or a throne , or a smartwatch , is a abominable and tacky idea . Butgold - plating a drone is even worse , and it has nothing to do with aesthetics .
amber is heavy , so why would you slather it all over a gadget that needs to be as light as possible for good performance ? Drones already have terrible barrage fire life since they have to power four electric motor - drive propellor that are seek to plagiarize the drone itself , its aforementioned batteries , and a camera , as is the case with this DJI Phantom 4 .
Adding a stratum of 24 - carat atomic number 79 only serves to make this quadcopter heavier , and more of a lustrous target for the great unwashed who like to knock monotone out of the sky . And then there ’s the price . A regular DJI Phantom 4 will cost you around $ 1,200 , but these gold upgrades push the price tatter to well over $ 24,000 . So you ’ll be paying more for a droneyou will ineluctably crash , than a novel auto .
