i have waypoints in my m2z and i think i have course lock as well....gotta check. not sure why those are not already in m3 but if they come with those features in january, i guess that's fine. a drone doesn't have to be 99%/100% ready to go at launch but it can't be 65% either. personally i really dislike a piece of electronics that you take out of the box and before you can use it, you have to perform a major software update. a minor one is ok but they should wait to hear about all the issues in the field and then try to get that first major update underway at 90 days. so i'm waiting until feb/mar to buy m3. i hate having my care refresh running while my new drone is not ready or for me, during the winter. i realize there will be winter sometime during that period but later on an old drone is better than right away on a new one...for me.
So true.
I have seen all drones from Parrot, DJI, Autel...excepting Skydio that in Europe is not sold...But no drone was sent into market so "boldy"...Probably a new experience for DJI also.
On paper is written nice, but I remember a lot of papers from DJI that says "will be supported in next updates"...and a lot of things were not.
Remember the Smart Controller? "A piece of tech that will be compatible with current and featured versions of DJI drones"... All owners of SC now look at M3 and think "not so nice thoughts"...as is not supported...and need to pay extra 1200 USD for another SC, after they acquired a SC with more than 800 USD...
This is why we have to present the real facts here...YES, we can buy M3 and probably will, but need to be ensured that DJI will respect the deadlines and the promises...this time.
PS. LOG profile don't look OK in standard version, I have downloaded the H264 and H265 video samples raw, there will be needed a change in this as current implementation the Log profile is again not well calibrated...and I am not a man who plays with the drone at home and is OK with Normal profile, I work on contracts for chains of stores and big companies...and you go to them with good LOG grading, not Normal profile...Also I know the Sony sensors and they are far more capable...So let's hope will be improved. |
