The linked Ebay one is a Boson 640, so it's actually pretty cheap for what it is. Almost worth buying just for the sensor.
That is sUAS and it's not a scam. I have one . . although I bought the BOSON elsewhere, already had the Mavic2 and a BlackPearl monitor and mine is a BOSON320 with narrower field 9.1mm . .smaller lens. so the DVR, xmitter and mount, batteries and charger only cost about $500. The mount is well made and works fine on the lid of a Mavic Pro . . but if you want it to work with a M2Z or M2E you need the side mount. (just a small 3D printed part) I had problems with the DVR at high power. It gets HOT and the glue loosens. Also the side mount does not give access to the DVR "record" button. I just sent it back and they are modifying it and adding the "Airborne Parameter Set" interface for another $200. That will be very useful too so I can start/Stop the IR video on command. It cannot be top mounted they said because it interferes with GPS . still, a fixed mount is workable but not ideal. I like the dual mount made by drone doctors in UK. Hope io390 can publish more on it soon. ps I found Eric at USAS very responsive to all my questions and had the answers too.
That's pretty good for the tiny sensor they chose . . wish they had gone with BOSON to start . . . and allow upgrade . . . will wait an see what comes next. Meanwhile my fixed BOSON 320 on the M2E will do the job a bit better I think . .. we'll see
No chance of that unless DJI redesign the hardware (which is unlikely, and a Boson solution would take sales from the M210/XT2).
Your boson plus zoom combo is amazing and is definitely superior to the enterprise dual. The only reservation I have is in the support should something goes wrong. No offense to you at all, but I won’t know who and how support will be like, nor do I know whether this product will exist or be supported a couple years down the road. Now, there are no gaurantees with DJI as well, but at least we know they are a large international operation with billions of dollars and an establish rep to protect. I wish io390 all the success as I believe it is a far better product, maybe DJI will buy out the concept and integrate it into Mavic enterprise dual v2.
None taken - it's a valid concern as small drone businesses are appearing and disappearing at a high rate, and the market is by no means constant. We've been steadily running for the past 5 years (and sprouted off from Firstpersonview which ran for 10 years) so hopefully that'll continue.
The idea behind local distributors is to take advantage of lower pricing locally. It doesn't make financial sense for us to sell pre-modified Mavics outside the EU due to the higher pricing to UK customers. Obviously having local support is much better too, we can't really provide proper support for customers in different timezones.
