I’ve been sort of cringed out lately with the
M2P hardliners. When the comparisons come up, it’s always right to the 1” sensor and the underlying vibe of sour grapes is so apparent.
Brett Garamella Laid it out pretty well in his last video. DJI has completed their lineup and the drones go double price in succession. The Mini is $400. The
Air 2 is $800, and the
M2P is $1600.
The Mini is for the starter, the
MA2 is for the experienced yet still not commercial user, and the
M2P is for the professional. The rule of diminishing returns is in full force as when you’re springing for the
M2P you’re NOT getting double the drone of the one prior. But it’s understood that this drone is marketed to the ones who are very serious about their craft and are willing to pay the premium to get just that little bit more.
I seriously wonder how many of the people here who praise the virtues of the “1 inch sensor” are actually making use of it. Let’s be honest. I didn’t realize we were a forum comprised entirely of high end content creators.
The bottom line is this.. The
MA2 is 97% the drone that the
M2P is and half the price. If you bought the
M2P prior to the
MA2 release, you certainly shouldn’t sell it for a
MA2. But in 90% of all cases (I estimate), you CERTAINLY should get the
MA2 instead of the
M2P.
I recognize that this is probably upsetting for all of the less than professional users of the
M2P who sprung for the $1600 drone and the one that they really needed is now for sale for $800. I get it,.. But the relentless harping on the sensor for the justification is gross.
