Looking at an Inspire 2 tomorrow

2800.00. about.

supposed to be better than the Mavic pro

Well price I figured was way off.

Way more than that

 

[arff]

Did one evening shot

Surprised you got 16minutes with the spark.

Was not windy and batteries fully charged.

You bringing your’s out

 

[nbrecht]

Sure am

So demanding this early.

Well only flew each one 3 times.

Spark.
Pro. Small, easy to pack , cheaper price, so if you crash not as painful. fly of phone
Con. Not good in wind. Camera is small and used for flight and pictures.
Can’t move camera separate have to turn drone to get different shots.

Inspire 2
Pro. Good in wind. Camera turns separate from drone. Can have separate controller for camera. Need 2 people then. Can change camera’s. Has zenmuse x4s on it now.
Fly with tablet. Easier to see. Fly 7 km away.
Con. Very big to pack. Expensive. Best to have a landing surface because rocks or dust on camera. Heavy.

Mavic 2 is out now has some features I heard are good.

As for prices check google they vary a lot.

Last thing watch local areas and laws for no fly zones. Will need license and government documents done to fly within airspace of an airport. Have to call Nav Canada for permission.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. good information from a trusted source is always welcome.

Had the inspire up twice today.

Spark was up as well. Spark is fun for ripping around because it’s small and quick.

Built for different purposes

I have been using my DJI Phantom 3 Pro for a few years now, have taken it up riding a couple times. Good drone, good footage, and very durable. But its too big plain and simple.

Mavic Air is very nice, small, but the footage isnt quite there.

The new Mavic 2 Pro with the new Hassleblad sensor looks to be the ticket, the color and quality is phenomenal from all the videos ive been watching. But the price is definitely up there.

What price have you been seeing ?

What price have you been seeing ?

$2,500 for the mavic 2 pro with the fly more bundle. That’s from Canada Drones in Calgary. As tempting as the drone is, for that price they should’ve had both the zoom feature and the bigger sensor in one.

Easy to fly.
Val had no problems with the inspire 2

About 9 flights so far in a week with no issues.

Just need more practice

 

[ippielb]

Easy to practice doing anything.

Is buckshot or 4 shot better for drone elimination?

Buy yourself a drone and try it. Report back

That was plan b. Buy a drone and smash it into the spying drone.
I'm not a good shot with a shotgun.

That was a phenomenal reply.

Was out today in the wind.

Want to get some fall shots this week with leaves changing.
