The 107 is a joke. I've been a sport pilot for years. I haven't flown in a long time. It's a very expensive hobby. I got into drones to help scratch that itch. I've not bother taking the 107. The points you make are so true. I've done boot camps...
As the new one can fly faster than any previous DJI drone, i can't see how it would be any less capable in strong winds.
Can you point me to that review?
It's not realistic to expect that DJI would do a full remodeling of the whole drone to produce an economy model.
And the batteries for the 4 are listed as only 3g heavier so there's not much to gain there.
