Should I wait for Mavic 3 Pro?

I have & will keep the MA2, just sent back the M2Z & ordered the M2P. I want the M3P too, but it may be a long wait.

BTW, the MA2 is a fantastic machine!

Cheers, Jon

Why do you feel you need both MA2 and M2P?

Would you pay $800 more to have 4k/60 on the M2P? That is basically what I am doing! And that 4k/60 is Great!

Don’t wait for anything. I find it’s really hard to get good quality drone time in. Get it when and while you can. Who knows what the future holds. Dive in and enjoy.

I got my first drone last month and it is the M2P. I didnt know its release few yrs ago. It is still good.

Well I got the Refurbished M2P with RE Goggles.

Pro's

Size, I like the heftier size over MA2, easier line of site flying.
Love the camera.
Prefer the Go 4 App
Refurbished felt exactly like new. Great way to save money. Do again in a heartbeat.
I liked the RC except for the issues below (screen and extra custom buttons).

Con's

The Controller mounting of iPhone X with (or without) a fairly minimal case was very frustrating.
I hate the charge plug on the side of the RC (it's fragile as folks know and constantly having to pull it out for charging makes it worse)
Goggles were nice but not nearly as immersive as I had hoped.
Nervous about history of battery issues (swelling).

Mainly because goggles were not all that they are cracked up to be I'm returning the package.

I think I'll wait until at least through summer and see if a Mavic 3 pops up.
