What would you pay to upgrade from M2Z to MP2?

[Former Member]

Im working on a project that would allow me to do a low cost gimbal swap between the M2Z and the M2P and vice versa. I would keep your old gimbal, and install the gimbal of your choice. Price would include round trip shipping of your drone to and from my shop. What would it be worth to you?

I would keep whichever one you didnt like in exchange for the one you wanted.

Starting the poll with a simple upgrade from Mavic 2 Zoom, the less expensive one, to a Mavic 2 Pro, the more expensive one.

Well, since we can buy the Pro camera for $550.00 and the zoom for around 250.00 I would pay 300.00 for the upgrade. I think I would rather have both of the cameras though.

I haven’t put much thought into this, but I agree with @crazyju that it would be nice to have the old gimbal too. I wouldn’t know what to do with the Pro camera, but would be nice to have one to swap in and out if/when I know more about photography.

Where (in the world) did you see a zoom gimbal for $250?

Thanks for the link. Are you going to order one? If so let everyone know how it works out. The 2 people I did know that ordered them for a slightly higher price arrived DOA and had to return them.

You might find that you prefer one over the other over time, and then could just dump the 1 you don't like

Very true. If I knew more about photography and had the extra money at the time, I would of got the Pro for sure. I was looking for something that would be more point and shoot and less post processing work. I do enjoy having the zoom feature, but I’m sure the novelty will where off.

I think a better question is can you put one of the MP2 cameras on an MP1?

If a person where to change out cameras, wouldn't you still have the same firmware? How would you change that?

The drone recognizes the changed gimbal/camera and just works as if it were original equipment from what I've read.

Yes it does. I do them every day. It even shows up on DJI Go 4 as the new gimbal.

I have the zoom, just havent decided on if I want to get the pro yet. I would probably order through Tao if I was going to order directly from China.
