Sold the Zoom for a Pro

[E92Vancouver]

Has anyone traded their Zoom for a Pro? Trying to decide which one to buy this week.

No need. One can remove the camera and interchange them. So the Zoom Camera can be removed and the Pro fitted and vice -versa.

That's assuming one has the funds and technical skills for both gimbals.

Pro vs zoom is a matter of preference.

I didn’t know that, well you learn something new everyday

Thats the good thing about the Mavic 2. If you dont like the lens you got, drop me a line and I can sell you a different one, depending on what I have in stock. I take trade-ins...

Im also working on a very low cost concept for exchanging the Zoom for a Pro and vice-versa. It might be less than $300 to go from a zoom to a pro. Will know more after some testing.

You void your warranty and your DJI Refresh if you do this, so no thanks.

I would go for a second gimbal as well It takes 5 Minutes to swap and you save a good 1.000 bucks for redundant equipment. It would be better if the gimbal had some sort of quick release but it is ok as it is. I am currently saving for a pro gimbal. Are the ones form Ali Express any good? I heard they are fake or don't work, but they look legit.

How so? There isn't a seal or anything. How would DJI know?

2 reports so far that they were doa

There is a silicon seal that you have to break to remove the camera.

 

[E92Vancouver]

Who told you that?

It is right there in the warranty fine print. You can't remove any covers, disassemble, take apart,........etc.

The gimbal has a separate warranty period from the rest of the drone. So do the battery and controller. DJI told me in chat that an M2P gimbal can be replaced wiih an M2Z gimbal and vice versa and still be covered under warranty.

But that could have meant "when using their swap service they announced" and not when doing it yourself...

That's what I would think.

 

[lmel2005]

Do we have an idea how much costs Dji's service for upgrading camera to Pro?
Do they return previous gimbal too?

 

[BD0G]

Shhhhhh dont tell anyone , but its not rocket surgery. Can you keep the secret...

Doing this voids your warranty. Not worth it.

 

[mavic53]

Keep the zoom
