Feeling A Little Irked by the MA2 Accessories Price Premiums.....

[Nonprophet]

Ok, I get it. The MA2 is new so the demand is hot right now for accessories. But why was my Mavic Mini GPC hard case only $54 and the MA2 GPC case is $119? Yeah, it's a little bit bigger than the Mini case, but the Mavic 2 GPC case is even larger and it's only $84......Why is a set of floats/pontoons for the Mini $20 and a set for the MA2 is $40+? There are other examples, but you get the idea.....I suppose once the novelty wears off prices will (hopefully) come down, but for now it's a PITA.

Ok, rant over. I feel better now...

Supply and demand maybe. The world has changed and prices reflect that.

Capitalism.

The prices will balance out as soon as multiple parties come to market with the same items..

Costs twice as much, so the buyer will spend twice as much!

Good thing is there are plenty of similar cases for $40. It’s a matter of you choosing to buy an expensive brand.

Give it another month or two, prices will drop substantially.

Yeah, not really. Not all hardshell cases are created equal--i.e. the Harbor Freight ones are junk, as are the other budget ones. Cheap hinges, cheap clasps, warped lids and cheap gaskets that leak. I've used Pelican cases for 30+ years because as a captain, I'm around water ALL THE TIME and I need cases that really ARE waterproof--not cases that LOOK waterproof. If you're just looking for shock protection, then the cheapo cases are OK, but if you truly need watertight seals, and you want a case that will last for decades, buy quality like Pelican, Nanuk, GPC, etc. Why someone would want to trust a $1,000+ drone in a $19 case is beyond me.....

if you truly need watertight seals,

and if you live in Oregon...you need watertight seals... kidding..I love Oregon!
