I've been close to ordering the combo pack for the last couple of days, but I wanted to check up on the features of the drone first and I'm glad I came across this post before I hit the order button. I've decided not to buy at this moment for these reasons:
1)The CE certification, this needs to be sorted first. I understand it's not so much DJI's fault & more the EU, but I don't want to spend a grand on a drone that will be restricted in 2 or 3 years time.
2) No flight plan ability. Even my old Bebop 2 has this function, and it's one I use quite a lot. I'm disappointed this functionality is missing from a drone as capable as the Air 2.
3) No gesture control, unlike its predecessor. Not a big issue, but would have been nice.
4) DJI's Customer Service. I bought my first DJI drone a couple of weeks ago, the Mavic Mini, and while I'm more than impressed with the drone so far, on one of its first flights a plastic cover came off one of the rear legs. No big issue, but it's not what you want on a brand new product so I contacted customer service. So far, they responded within a couple of days to ask if I had crashed the drone, since then I've heard nothing until today when I've had an email asking me to wait to hear from another department.
At the moment I use my Bebop for flight plans & when there is heavier wind, otherwise I'll use my mini for better image quality & mobility. I've been looking at the Air 2 to do both those jobs. If / When they sort out the certification and add the ability to plan flights, then I'll be ordering one. |
