I haven't forgotten. I've been waiting for for something a lot more user friendly. I don't like buying someone elses mistakes

Do you think you would have gotten a refund from another dealer?

I feel exactly the same way about wants/needs. Deciding to buy what is available and not quite what you want or need, may not be the best decision. Deciding to wait until you see what you want or need to become available ,may be the best decision. Since you already have a drone, this is a viable...

I would wait until spring to see if a newer P5 model comes out . The worst that could happen is that the P4 price will drop .

When the 3s & 4s go on the fritz they may not have repair parts? It would be a good time to buy a spare P3or4 now while you can if you like yours for parts? The price should drop making it an opportunity to buy a spare for those that like them.

Mine are mostly down shots. Fishing /Crabbing / Aquatic wildlife.

Polarized lenses are a must if you are filming on water, even on cloudy days. I wear Costa sunglasses all the time and you can see into the water deeper without surface glare and see objects underwater that you normally wouldn't see. It's a Night and day comparison .

That's what I would do. Safer, easier, smarter. It appears to me that people are getting to the point these days that they depend too much on electronics to their thinking for them. That can eventually lead to trouble.

Do you use prop guards for damage protection when hand landing ? Have you ever used a water strider to land on the water?

The expected accuracy of a GPS system should be within 2 ft. This is what we get on most marine,(boat) GPS when navigating to way points. Is there any way to navigate to a specific way point other than the return home way point?

I agree with that analogy. From what I've read and seen on videos, depending on these features as your automatic co piolet is a false sense of security. Maintaining manual control at all times is the safest way to fly. You never know when something isn't going to work. Even then, there's no...

I saw it a few days ago by a vendor . We get DOA 5350 batteries in new. It was on a battery complaint post on this board. I don't recall on exactly which discussion topic it was on.

Good analogy. I keep reading where many new droners buy an inexpensive, starter drone to keep the hobby economically manageable. Within a few short years, they've spent enough on new drones by upgrading to the next level that they have spent enough to have paid for an Inspire 2 Pro package.

Good Video The one thing that some may disagree with is the battery choice. The 5350 ma battery is less expensive than the 5870 ma. and the 5870 only delivers 2 more minutes of flight time at a higher price tag. The difference in price seems to be disproportionate for the 2 extra minutes. But...
