I'd second this question. I'm not looking for cheapest coverage, I'm looking for best. Specifically, as I understand it, DJI care refresh provides replacements for damaged drones – as long as it doesn't get lost in the water?

DJI controls like, what? 75% of the consumer drone market? Autel and Skydio should run as fast as they can before the 800 lb gorilla catches up to them.

I'm looking to buy my first serious drone (MA2). I'm tracking with everything you're saying. I thought DJI offered GPS geo-tracking of your drone as a fail-safe. Are there situations in which that feature doesn't work?

What else might be the meaningful differences between MA1 and MA2?

So I've been eyeing my first, serious drone for a couple months, but held off on pulling the trigger because of all the rumors regarding MA2 upcoming release. Wondering what the practical difference will be between MA1 and MA2. I understand the benefits of bigger battery. We're clear there...

Apparently, Haye has started his own (?) drone news site. https://dronexl.co/2020/04/01/welcome-to-dronexl-we-cover-all-the-drone-news/

The rumor mill is rumbling today. https://dronedj.com/2020/03/10/the-new-dji-mavic-air-2-or-dji-mavic-whats-in-the-name/

Sure, but there will be some heartburn if they announce the MA2 right after I pull the trigger on a MA1. At the very least, would be interested to see if the MA1 might be discounted if/when they announce the MA2. By all accounts, the MA1 is a very nice drone. That's why I'm interested. But there...

Bingo, this seems to be the number one complaint of current MA owners I keep reading about. If rumors/speculation are true and DJI announces a new MA2 with better flight time and connectivity – that would be worth waiting for. Just not sure I'm willing to wait 6 months to a year for a MA2...

I'm in the same situation as the OP. Ready to pull the trigger on a Mavic Air, but would kick myself if they announce a next-gen Air 2 in the next couple of months. What's the chances that DJI will be announcing an Air 2 before, let's say, July?
