Few years back I got the original MA when it came out, and now I'm pondering whether I should upgrade. Yes, there is already a lot of information out there, but hard to make sense of all of it, unless you have a lot of free time to sit and watch YouTube videos.
I'm interested in a list of features, back-to-back between the original MA and the MA2. To me, the biggest improvement is the battery life. That in itself, is enticement enough to upgrade. I know also about the increased range with OcuSync. Yet, nonetheles, what am I getting with the MA2?
The Original MA had obstacle avoidance and 4k Video. However, what it didn't have is the ability to power in-flight acessories from its micro-USB port. A while back I wanted to install a large LED ring under the drone (to improve night visibility), and power it from the drone itself. On the original MA, the on-board micro-USB port only works for data transfer. In contrast, I did the same thing with a Parrot drone, and it worked beautifully.
So, here are some of the main questions/concerns:
1. Is there a USB port and can it be used to power accessories?
2. Obstacle Avoidance, same/better than MA1 ?
3. Video capture modes etc, what am I getting on the MA2, that is not on the MA1 ?
Would also love to hear from those original MA1 who upgraded to the MA 2 ... what's your experience so far ?
