You guys should realize that if the OP spent all that money on those things it means he is rich. No average Joe can splurge like that. So, the expenses are Ok. I am sure the cost is not really hurting him because reality would set in and he would have to sell some things.

I know I refer to the M2P as a $2,000 drone. I myself have spent a total of about $2,200 now on this drone and that is pushing it, for me. I am just glad that as long as I keep it in pristine condition, as I am doing, when I get to sell it I am sure to get atleast half of that money back.

I know I cannot own this drone for more than 2 years. I will definitely sell it before its 2 years anniversary with me.

I don't know if some of you guys plan to keep it for say up to 3 years or more. I just cannot. In 2 years or less, if DJI comes out with a portable upgrade to this, I would like to sell and buy it. That is what I did with my Mavic Pro to buy this Mavic 2 Pro.

When the lid goes down my wife will put this and all accessories with it,so she doesn't have to hear about or see it anymore

I can almost see the jaundice beginning to appear around what sounds like the ever increasing "white" edges of your bank account.
Better add a wind sock to that list. A model aircraft supplies shop option should not hammer the plastic too much though! Make up your own pole and frame, which is what seems to be the most expensive component here (NZ)

Wait until you've really been bitten by the drone bug and Obsessive Drone Disorder kicks in, I now have 7 drones plus a bunch of accessories for each.

 

[mavicn00b]

Wait until you get a irretrievable fly-away, then you'll know what expensive is.

Stings like a *****.

 

[Paulman]

Have you flown it yet

That's what insurance is for.

 

[mavicn00b]

Assuming you can get it for a reasonable price.

M2P
Flymore kit
Landing pad

Santa is bringing me a crystalsky monitor/mount.

So over time it does mount up I suppose, but not in one hit.

State Farm

Yup too bad it's availability is limited to the United States. Also as with any insurance claim, submitting a claim may result in higher premiums across the board for your other policies.
