I recently had a takeoff crash that broke the ribbon cable on the gimbal of my M1P. I could send it in for repair or try to fix it myself, or just sell this one on eBay for repair and get another drone.
I am starting to think about simply selling out all my MP gear and getting something else because the compression and noise reduction are pretty terrible on the MP. Makes 4K pretty much unusable at times.
Anyway, the options I see are:
#1 Fix MP. I really like the drone but the camera quality is really not great and gimbal ribbon tends to break on crash.
#2 Sell MP and up (or down?) grade to:
Mavic Air. Cheaper than MP and better camera, but the range is terrible
Mavic Mini 2. Cheaper, better camera, but tiny, and no active track, obstacle avoidance etc.
Mavic 2 Pro. A lot more expensive, not really within budget right now, but it's the drone I eventually want to get. Great flight characteristics, awesome camera, just great drone.
Mavic Air 2. Somewhat more expensive, better camera, good range, but missing some big things of the 2 Pro like 10 bit, D-LOG, 4K crop, etc.
Something else I'm not thinking of.
What are you all's thoughts on what the best upgrade path would be? Should I just fix the MP and deal with the camera, or upgrae to something else? What do you think would be the best drone to upgrade to if I decide to upgrade?
