I would like to get a zoom also but my wife would move me into the doghouse if she saw a new drone . I think I will stop at 5 as winter is coming soon to us in Northern Alberta

So here's my strategy Canuk, and it's worked for 37 years.

You know how guys try to avoid the dog-house, or try to get out of it through unnatural acts once their wife puts them there? Stop doing that! Embrace the dog-house. Revel in the glorious freedom of the dog-house. When you're in the dog-house, you can do anything you want ... drink with buddies, buy new stuff, fly your drone all day, watch football instead of doing chores. LOVE living in the dog-house.

You must initially be very strong for this to work. She'll cry, gripe, accuse you of not caring. Your response should be "I'm in the dog-house, you're mad at me anyway, so I may as well enjoy it while I'm here." Stick to that line of responses.

Something amazing will happen. One day soon, you'll be "out" of the dog-house. She will invite you out and not speak again of what put you there. As a matter of fact, after doing this a few times and her seeing that you literally "enjoy and embrace" your time in the dog-house, she will actively work to keep you out.

If she gets cross with you, say "Are you sending me to the dog-house?". She'll immediately say "NO, not at all, I'm sorry. Let me make you some brownies. You should go fly that new drone while the brownies are cooking?"

Learn how to embrace the dog-house instead of trying to avoid it. The results will astound you. Worst case, you have a great time while in there. Best case, she figures this out and never sends you back.

37 years of success here ... trust me.

Actually ... one revision.

Worst case, she divorces you and takes half of everything you own.

In the interest of full disclosure ...

I think this day and age if she decides to give me the boot the X-wife’s seem to get WAY more than 50% from what I have seen .
I think I will go with

Read the manual. Fly the craft in a wide open area for the first several flights, not in your yard, then read the manual again.

If you've never flown a drone before, by a cheap Tiny Whoop and fly indoors until you can master navigation indoors. With that done you'll have learned reverse navigation the hard way, by crashing a cheap drone a few times, better than crashing a $1300 drone. Reverse navigation is learning the muscle/brain memory of the craft having reverse LEFT/RIGHT controls when it's coming home pointing toward you. This is a mistake many newbies make when they crash, they haven't mastered reverse navigation.

Fly it everyday and if it passes 2 weeks of flying (1 to 2 hours a day) your mavic is ok, normally if its go problems like falling of the sky, flying away, or internal issues you'll see it within the that time. Don't ask where i got this info, TOP SECRET, Oh forgot to mention, it's not cover under warranty, reason because DJI says you can't prove it, it's all pilot errors. Don't take it the wrong way I had a mavic pro prior to the 2 and love it, this new one, after what experience, it's like taking a lighter and burning $1500 to ashes.

If I would advise anything it would probably really look into autel evo.

LOL, my wife made me sell my Yuneec Q500 4K if I wanted to buy a Mavic 2 Zoom.

 

[Duke846]

U better make her sell her old shoes to buy new ones!

I use the designer hanbags or designer watches excuse. If that doesnt apply I use the “in one ear, out the other” technique.
