I bought my P3A in July 2015 knowing that I wouldn't need or use the P3P w/ 4K camera. Truthfully, I think 4K is still relatively ahead of its time, as you don't see much 4K content being broadcast or widely available (yet). Nor did/do I have any interest in purchasing a new powerful computer system/monitor to watch/edit 4K video. That's a different story though.
My question for everyone is; has the whole aerial filming thing wore off on you yet? Aside from the folks who are photography enthusiasts, do you really ever watch any of your P3 videos more than a few times?
Speaking for only myself, I get the most enjoyment out of flying this bird using my iPad Air 2 and using the video feed as I fly. Flying it far way (yes WAY past VLOS, but only over lakes and a state game area that isn't populated) and sending it on long distance waypoint missions using Litchi. I recently upgraded my RC antenna with DBS and love it. Tinkering with upgrades and putting on accessories is just as cool as flying it IMO. When I do record video I watch it a couple times and delete it.
I'm probably the minority here, as I gather a lot of people use theirs for "unauthorized" commercial use. But for me, recording video was only cool for about 2 months.
Feel free to share how your relationship with the P3 has evolved over time. I'm interested in seeing if I'm the black sheep here. Lol
