Hi,
I got a Mavic Air a year and a half ago and I loved it. Recently, was setting up for a low shot over the incoming surf, and a big wave hit it. The drone returned to home, but was clearly water damaged with salt water. I tried a few things (distilled water rinse, alcohol, drying chamber with silica gel), but it looks like it's not coming back. Spoke with DJI, but it seems like it would cost a lot to repair and it's an old model, etc....
So since I still had the controller, two batteries, etc.. I decided I could just replace the drone itself, I found a used one for around $300. Now I'm thinking maybe I should upgrade?
I really like the idea of FPV with some sort of goggles, so my questions are -
1) Do you guys recommend trying to do this with the original Mavic Air? Or would I be better off upgrading to a more current model. Cost is clearly a concern, but I don't mind putting some money into the project.
2) If possible, I would like to get a headset that I could also use for those VR boxing / exercise games like they have on Oculus. Any recommendations? The DJI Goggles RE? Or maybe the Cinemizer OLED?
Thanks!
