Yes well aware Aeroimage. What I don't have access to is a crystal ball though. Had we known the inspire was being released at a specific time and date that would have been acceptable. Unfortunately with DJI's track record of announcing and ACTUALLY releasing hardware therein lies the problem. It's an X5 RAW so a fairly substantial investment.
Hey niknak, didn't mean for that to be so harsh. I guess I didn't structure that too well.
I am kind of in a similar boat. The I1 Pro that I use can now be bought for about $2200. I only purchased my I1 Pro last January and spent about $5500. My mistake was buying the V2.0 with the X3 and then upgrading to the X5. If I had it to do over, I would have skipped the X3 completley and saved a little. And now, Inspire prices have fallen drastically since June.
What I have learned (at considerable cost) is that savings can be had when we wait and don't jump in at the beginning of a new product launch. Plus, the first ones to get the new goods get to be the beta testers, as we are seeing from plenty of reports of ill fitting props, failed landing gear, camera anomalies and other glitches.
The technology in these drones is progressing at incredible speed. (Warp factor 4??)
I remember when flat screen TVs first came out. A 42" model was $10,000. Now about $300!!
