I offered a highly insightful and useful take into the market which was proven correct and saved some poor sod spending top money on soon to be replaced tech. How idiots like you perceive that as disrespectful is beyond me. The truth is disrespectful? Democrat by any chance? I would rather...

I wouldn't buy old tech sorry unless the price reflect it, the money being asked will get you a top of the line inspire 2 with similar camera, so if thee new model has any gripes I will still wait. First of the price drops has started on the X5R today in some of UK stores, expect them to keep...

We're obviously talking about the consumer market. I find it very unlikely the inspire 2 will be unusable to the level you imply. When the X5R is also well known to being incredibly weak in design where even a small jolt has has people with snapped stems, redenring the camera useless. If its...

I have only owned phantoms and inspires and they both worked flawless from day 1. My stuff has always worked fine, problem with DJI is so many idiots buy their stuff most of them don't even know about things like compass or lens calibration, then go online to complain when the 'problems'...

Sorry, but DJI are announcing it Nov 15th in Los Angeles. I pretty much told you this over a month ago.

I never said he could not, I just wanted to warn people there is probably something new coming out VERY soon in a matter of weeks which will devalue this, or allow them to get the latest tech at a similar price. Whiles it true something new is always around the corner, its often many many...

That's a beast, best post prices.

By your own admission of not knowing for certain, even that means its worth waiting for as nobody wants to blow 4.5k on technology which could (and most likely) will be replaced in weeks with something better, or will lower the value on your existing equipment. As even a 20% drop in value on...

Just a heads up that inspire 2 is due out in early Nov, so for anyone thinking of spending this sort of money on a drone, you're best off waiting as these will drop in price a lot, or you may prefer the updated tech at similar prices.

Just out of interest what did you move onto from this setup?

If its nothing mechanical, you might get lucky and you could simply replace the board inside with a broken one on ebay, if it were me, I would stick it on ebay, sell it for what you can and simply buy another. These days if I break something, I just scrimp for a month or two, I don't eat out as...

So what sort of money are we looking at in the UK if I did this in say June 2015? Can anyone also explain the process, do you pay the money up front all in one go or is it more progressive?

Have a look at this video, it might be that, if not, just sell it on ebay, or keep it for parts (if you intend on buying another)

I know this has been asked loads of times, but I am just wondering if anything has really changed over time as the threads I read were a little old and it seems this is constantly evolving. If I want to fly my drone for commercial video and photo use in the UK, I understand you can either take...
