Yep, the only time I wait for the “next” model of any technology is if I think it’s release is imminent; otherwise, I buy what is currently available that fits my needs and enjoy it.

If you have highly desired or must have features that are not met in the MA and most likely will be met in the MP2 then it makes sense to wait or buy a MP or MPP at a discount. MA will only frustrate you otherwise. MA is a ‘great’ drone, but for many of you on this forum who have owned one or...

Glad to hear it survived and that you will soon get your Mavic back. This thread kept me coming back day after day like a soap opera. Great ending to the story.

Drone Valley speaks to the techie in me that wants to know how it works.

Good overview of how DJI became the undisputed leader in drones. Nice work. I’d also love to see more competition. It not only helps keep prices lower and more affordable but it also helps push innovation forward.

Agree. I think DJI views the MA like Apple views the iPhone camera. Apple wants the average user to be able to pick up the iPhone and take a great picture while hiding all the levers that can be pulled (ISO, aperture, white balance...). I believe the MP is viewed by DJI more like a DSLR where...

Sorry to hear, I know it’s a tough loss monetarily and lost future opportunities. Let us know which direction you choose from here 1) replace with existing Mavic Pro model new, used, or refurb; 2) buy Mavic Air 3) what for Mavic Pro 2 4) purchase another model. You’ve obviously had some...

@flockshot, I hope you will share some of your expertise at aerial photography with us as well. There is much I’d like to learn about what makes for a good shot and how to get the most out of the Mavic’s camera.

I definitely don’t have any scenic locations like that here in Oklahoma.

Welcome to the forum. I'm in OKC, what part of Oklahoma are you in?

True, the bigger the screen the better unless it gets too pricey. Nice thing about either iPod Touch or iPad mini is the ability to easily edit videos on device with iMovie or LumaFusion.

Take a look at a refurbished 16GB iPod Touch on apple.com only $129. No need for contract, very portable, and can be dedicated as a drone display and not double as a phone.

The first person to design a drone leasing program like leasing a car will make a killing! $$$$

I believe the Spark is the most important drone in DJI's line-up. No Spark and your entry price is $799 or higher, that is a rather steep price for anyone to pay for your first drone. If DJI hopes to sell tons more drones, they have to entice new drone flyers with an affordable, yet capable...

I understand where you are coming from, but you know that we (people) don't quite look at things that logically. Why are SUVs and particularly sport or performance SUVs dominating the auto market? Because we want a vehicle that is comfortable to transport my family of 5, be able to haul gear and...
