first of all I'm not aware they discontinued it. but even if they did, that should be good news. price would go down, more people could afford it, we as community will gain better knowledge.
i think you look at the p4 as a way to accede or belong. it is about that too ultimately, but in first place the p4 is a magnificent toy. made pilots out of people who never thought of becoming one. offered to the masses what tesla or apple are trying to: a means to own the time we all live in.
personally, i do care a little on how fashionable i look, but ultimately is my level of comfort picking the clothes for me.
i would only be concerned about it (DJI discontinue the P4) if that would render my P4 useless, hence isolating me from my friends.
I mean look at the clowns at gopro, making one model after another with minimal added value: it became a way to pointing out the snobs (wearing the latest same old) rather than a way to enjoy progress.
If there is a thing I hate about computers is that progress is more of a means to force people buy new things rather than enjoy a better standard. in computer business they keep on inventing flaws so they can come up correcting with next revision. is like people producing malware in an attempt to sell the antidote.
now returning to P4, let's face it: if it works, is a piece of magic. the finis is apple, the reliability is military grade, the compatibility is wide at least. And yes, if it works: mine works, I cant speak for people complaining, but I am aware they exist.
I hope my arguments convinced you that even if P4 discontinued, it will not be the end of the world for people with moral compass. |
