    If you waited until July 18th to buy your 1st drone...

    Whoa, I didn't expect that, I just assumed I would get it soon after I ordered... if that is the way this will unfold, then I will just need to make a decision and jump in. I thought that since it sounded like manufacturing has been ongoing they would be able to ship immediately. I am totally...

    Thanks SkyScan, When I started down this road it was the Mavic Air that got me hooked because of the obstacle avoidance features, then I looked at the Pro and like the bigger better and the Oculink tech. Then I saw the platinum and liked the quieter props... I was hoping a new release would...

    I will definitely get Refresh+ it definitely looks worth it. Am I assuming correctly that if I were to buy a used drone that refresh/+ is not available, it is only when you buy new? If that's true then I guess I am back into just wait and see mode until I get back to the US. Also, I thought...

    Thanks, Drone-on... with today's stinky announcement I am trying to find a slightly used platinum fly more package. I am also considering the Costco deal here seems like a good deal and maybe if a new Mavic is ever released, the goggles should work with it as well. Maybe I'll be a two drone...

    Thanks, believe me, I have been doing that, but I find myself either being entertained and awed or taking in knowledge about things I may never need to know. I need pertinent information for what DJI will most likely offer in a drone. With that, since there is a potential for July 18th to be...

    Thank you so much DV for your thoughts, you have helped me tremendously. I will definitely go search your posts as you seem to think like I do... Your advice both educates and comforts. I don't have a desire to go through the learning curves that so many of you drone veterans have done. I...

    I really do want to get out and fly, but I think for me, for now, patience will pay off. If July 18 is a bust I'll go with Mavic Pro. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to strengthen my patience, I really do want to just go out and get something but I can wait... I still have much learning to...

    Thanks, I normally reside here in the Philippines, however, I do maintain an Alaska residence. I know there is a DJI store in Manila but that is 5 hours away and I avoid that city whenever possible, just not my style. So I guess my plan will be to do the registration when I get back here, I...

    What would you do while you waited to get it in your hands? I am 55, early retired, now living a simple farmer/beekeeper life in a remote area of the Philippines. I have never remote controlled anything other than computer systems as a network security engineer. I now have an insatiable...
