Yes I understand why you would be annoyed. But with tech of today, your lucky to have to top model for more than 6 months before an updated version is out. The platinum edition has already been around for nearly 4 months. If the Mavic 2 comes out, a price drop in the Mavic 1 will follow.
Yep granted but the delay in getting the PP out has been a ball ache for alots of us so hasn't really been out in the market for very long in usage terms, Tech is ever evolving and its good business to keep new models under wraps to maintain the sales. The price reduction of the current models when a new one comes out doesn't drop a massive amount, if a new one does come out it would be strange why they released the PP as they might as well kept the new ESC's and Rotor for the newest model, unless the PP will become the standard for Mavic's and the Mavic 2 will have even better motors, rotors, camera etc... and they have already run out of parts for the standard Mavic so were forced to release the PP as an interim model because it was using the new parts! (All speculative of course)
I reckon they will hold off till maybe Christmas next year unless a rival manufacturer drops a bombshell but that will take some doing!
DJI is the Apple of the drone world so its like waiting for a new IPhone announcement just with Drones |
