Do I need a second Mavic?

[m0j0]

Well it depends on your habits. I personally have several but I don't have duplicates.. I would probably sell it and wait for the new series of Phantoms which is likely coming in a few months. I'm actually thinking of parting with my P3p so I can have room for the P5 or P5p. I will take a loss.. but if you are even thinking of separating do it now while you can get the most for it.

I must say, I'm seriously considering a GoPro Karma


Adventure is just bad planning

That's cool. I will be interested in reading the comparisons. For now, I use GoPro stuff for things I know they do well and use DJI for flying.

I have a Garmin Virb as a dash-cam in my car and on my KTM. No experience with GoPro to be honest. We'll see.
Maybe an Inspire. Need to get my drone license first though

i have two why not but i do travel between two countries a lot so i leave one in each. personally i think i would sell it and get another model if finances were low. If they are not a problem keep both, never hurts after all to have a spare.

if one has to go back you never know what they will send you back at least this way you know its a new one.

Through some mistake with Apple, I received a second Mavic. Of course, they still remembered to charge me. Now, I own two. I have $1000 alone in the first Mavic and another $1000 in extra batteries, accessories, HDMI tablet and FPV goggles. Owning a "backup" Mavic would only be a 1/3rd increase with the new drone budget of $3000, but would keep me flying in case of loss, damage, defects of the first Mavic. Is it nutty to own two? Buying a totally new setup (DJI P4P?) would require probably another $500 in model specific accessories in addition to the drone cost.

If you can afford it, why not?

But I'm considering a P4P at present (possibly an Inspire 2 - but that's crazy talk. (Or suicide if herself finds out)).

Will get an Inspire 2 X5S as it looks now. But also checking the M600 or M200. But logic dictates the Inspire

If I had a hard plan aimed at civil engineering, inspections and the like I'd really go for the M200. And I'd cap up to do it. The cameras begin to get expensive and it starts to be a 2 man operation. One to fly - one to run camera and manage the whole thing.

Keep it untouched and in 50 years time it will be worth a mint

I would advise the same, if you can afford it! You won't be needing 50 years waiting time; I'd say 15-20 at most. I somehow sense that this aircraft will be considered one day among drones just like the fist iPhone is considered nowadays among smartphones: a game changer. Could you imagine owning nowadays an untouched, first generation iPhone?
The 1st gen iPhone 2G is now going for $12,500 on eBay
