Was just going to order the new MAvic Air 2 and saw that there is a 17-19 working day wait for delivery in the UK?
Thats 4 weeks, Is this correct?
I know we are in Lockdown and what not, but 4 weeks?

Also the MA2 is $799 U.S dollars which = approx £640, but on your site it is saying £769? I am guessing this is an error.
I will hold off till you fix these issues.

You'd be better off waiting. The UK version is also lacking the promised aircraft avoidance system.
Not sure why you would build two different hardware versions, and say the UK will get the same spec at a later unknown date?

In this Dji News it says: "All new DJI drone models released after January 1, 2020 that weigh more than 250 grams will include AirSense technology"

So if that's something you really want, you are better off waiting.
DJI indicate it's a hardware difference and not something which will be a software patch?

I think i going to hold off considering they have the price wrong on their website also + it doesn't come with the hardware installed. Disappointed.

Anything shipping from China will have quite the long wait.

Oh I'm sure the price won't be wrong.
It will be import TAX etc.... price difference with the USA has always been a topic of discussion on the DJI site.

I'm happy to wait as I hardly get chance to fly my Mavic Air to be honest (so much so I've not bothered doing the online test as I intend to do that once I can actually get out and fly the drone)

The price is not wrong? WOZZERS!
And they are not even including the Aircraft avoidance Hardware.

DJi sort your game out.

Airsense is missing as they have a supply shortage of the components so at launch only the USA version will have it.  Also the price will be different in part due to the higher taxes in the UK vs the US.

But we pay the same price without Airsense?

Hi there, the estimated delivery time of Mavic Air 2 is 12-17 working days after the payment confirmation on DJI UK Online Store currently. Due to the difference in product supply channels as well as exchange rates and tariffs incurred in different regions, the prices of the products in different regions will vary slightly. We appreciate your understanding. Mavic Air 2 units equipped with AirSense ADS-B will initially only be available in North America. Currently, we are working hard on promoting the AirSense technology globally.

It does seem odd that it doesn't come with the built in air sense and we are paying the same (or more)
I was going to order one, but I will hold off for now.
