I guess one would have to compare to other Mavic's, the other thing to consider is the FPV is a speed demon, many reviewers have already crashed this drone, I think the extra cost is because of the potential to crash.. I am not sure whether they could have designed his to be more crash proof, and still had reasonable weight and cost, so they have to recover the possibility that many people are going to be doing refresh on this bird.
The drone is $960CDN by itself. I wasn’t aware of that at the time of purchasing a $380CDN replacement plan that still costs $328CDN, $341CDN & $353CDN for replacement. The first crash creates minimal value for the care refresh, but should a person crash a second/third time the value is realized lol. I’m yet to crash a drone and I own 6 (if you count the tiny hawk 2 and amazon $150 MM clone lol) besides the DJI FPV, but somehow I feel like I’ll use care refresh more than once with this unit ?
There’s guaranteed to be a much higher number of crashes with this drone than another other DJI drone. DJI is mitigating risk with the steeper price tag on care refresh, as well as steeper price on the subsidized replacement rate.
No lockdown here in Alberta, just can’t socialize indoors. Guess I’ll have to spend more time outdoors...flying ?
I dunno about Star Wars, looks more like the creature from Ridley Scott's 1979 movie "Alien"!
?still waiting for that sailing ship, to put wind to her sails, and get here to the USA, from China!! Ordered a week ago, still no shipping date! But a spare battery, props, and the motion controller will be here soon, to sit on the shelf!!?
Upgrades and obsolescence are a part of tech, most of us realize that. Though there are some that think that nothing should ever become obsolete because they bought it for big $$, though there are expensive items that I've bought that have lost 50% or more of their value in a year, replaced by the next gen.. Just the way it goes...
