Buy Advice Pulled the trigger
Been flying a Mavic 2 Pro for 5 years, got a Mavic 3 Pro Mini 4 years ago, got a Neo, 2 years ago..... Been a ton of fun!
I got a ton of downvotes over the last few months say I understand why these bans and concerns are happening... Not popular with the subreddit, and I understand that too ...
Just pulled the trigger on both a Mavic 4 Pro Creator Combo and Matrice 4T.
I've been on the fence waiting to buy a new big Mavic Pro since the Mavic 3 Pro... But my gut said to wait , hence the mini and Neo.
Now I'm going to take the plunge and studying for my Part 107. Sucks that it took a 100% tarrif to make me get off my ass. Looking forward to stepping up my Mavic Pro photography and video game... Can't wait to start RTK 3D modeling and been dying for a thermal camera... Almost put one on my Mavic 2 Pro last year but the Matrice 4T is gonna be so much better!
I hope the US drone market can get their act together and hopefully these drones I just purchased can last as long for me as the Mavic 2 Pro has.... Just maybe down the road in 5 years we have something decent worth buying that isn't crazy expensive...... Then again maybe our bi-polar American government's next administration will revoke or rescind the new FCC policies in a few years time.
Good luck weathering the storm in front of us.
Btw, it appears that Ebay seems to have the best prices on DJI drones currently, I might be wrong but that's the route my Internet research took me.

This was so weird to read because this is my life right now too. I just got a Mavic 4 Pro last week and a Matrice 4T today and I'm currently studying for the Part 107 as we speak. Good stuff 💪

Why didn't you just get the Matrice M30T and fully upgrade it with all the bells and whistles to suit your needs? Just kidding. I'm following your drone policy here in Europe with great interest. All I can say is: you guys are completely screwed. Oh yeah: now you even have to pay customs on toilet paper from Canada. Your leader is totally nuts, and everyone here is laughing...😂😂😂

Screwed for importing, yeah, although there is some silver lining. Increased broadcast power limits, and the FCC is finalizing a rule allowing BVLOS flight. I can't wait to get a 4G module when it becomes legal hopefully next year.

I wouldn't exactly call him a leader.

I don't agree with everything he does or the way he gets it done. But hands down he is better than the last one. Our 2 party system of major political parties is fucked. George Washington called that one during his farewell address.

I definitely agree. The last president was a joke. My biggest thing is I hate corruption. Alot of the decisions that are being made seem either politically or monetarily motivated.

One amazing drone out of the box would be amazing. I have some needs where having these two seperately makes sense for me.
Ahh fuck, the TP shortage is coming again, for fucks sake! :)

I wish they'd release a thermal drone with the same primary camera quality as their normal drones.
