I think the OP should wait until someone from another company comes out with a new drone that is better than what DJI has out and buy it the day it is announced.

Seriously? Your kidding right? I mean this is a joke post designed to provoke a response right? Waiting for M3 when the M2 has only been out a few months and is the best drone available?

For the life of me, I can't understand these tests. They are unlikely to be legal in most places and what exactly is the point? How far you can fly is far less important than how well you can fly and how safely you can fly. How many posts do we need to have on this subject?

I have an I2 with X5S and am considering selling it. If it wasn't for the commercial work we occasionally do where the performance of the i2 is required, it will probably spend a lot of time on the shelf these days.

As has been said by others. RAW files are not finished and you shouldn't expect them to be. It really doesn't take very much to get them looking great in LR or PW using Nik presets. I"m loving the M2 image quality and I have Inspire2 with X5, P4P drones to compare it with. The P5 might come...

I had read your post all the way through and just did again just to be sure, you used the term "Non-starter" to describe the precision landing function being missing. I miss-quoted you but I interpreted your comment as a reason you weren't going to buy one, hence "Deal killer". I would...

EXACTLY! I agree on all points.

I have to chime in here... Precision landing is a deal killer for you? Really? Why exactly, can't you land on a specific spot yourself? Precision landing eats battery life because it takes 2x as long to land and what is the point exactly other than the cool factor the first time you do it...

I want the 4hawks in theory but I hate the fact that it is a permanent change and doesn't allow for the portability that I need which is why I have the air in the first place. I bought and have some success with this...

I have that and find that it does help in busy wifi situations. I go from 1500ft to 2000ft before the video signal becomes unusable. Best of all it fits in the flymore case perfectly.

Great story and I would totally be trying to fix it up to see if I could get it flying. Just feels like a fun project. You can buy a new gimbal on ebay and pick up other parts here and there and eventually get it flying again. I think it is funny that someone called it "Good Luck" that you...

P5 will be announced for delivery by the end of the year and will complete the product line rework for this year. Spark ($400) | MA ($800) | M2 ($1400 with HB camera) | P5 ($1800-$2200 depending on lens options) They all fit into their slots nicely.

It is target at Police/fire/rescue not really the general public.

Exactly. They are different for different uses. I sold the MP in the spring in anticipation of the M2 and the Air works exactly as well as a MP or better so the M2 with the better camera will actually be replacing my P4P.

You have to do something with it besides flying it around. It is a flying camera, not a RC aircraft to watch.
