P2 is my perfect one.

Im still on the fence, I still think I will wait for the P3.

Thanks for sharing DA.    Still like my P2 but looking forward to what P3 will offer.

Im holing out until the P3 is released,   I still have an OM3 that works if I need it.

TBH, I feel the P3 won't be much of an upgrade.
Just like OM4 - OM5.
More of the same.

Hello there DAFlys. Good day and thank you for sharing this interesting information with us. Have a safe and a happy filming always. .

I think youre probably right there, but it I wait for the P3 I can save little towards it.

That sounds like a good plan.

Montfrooij Posted at 12-13 01:19

And then I will have to agonise over which accessories to go with it.

Hahahahahahaha.
Yes.
I just ordered what I wanted in that regard.

But Im not sure what I would need.

DAFlys Posted at 12-13 02:53

Just get the basic package and decide later. That is what I did at least.

Yes,  I think thats the way forward.

DAFlys Posted at 12-13 03:07

Worked better for me than what I 'used' to do (but more, see what I need later)

I'm just hoping that the P3 will be a major upgrade and not just a small incremental upgrade.

I think I will do the same.

DAFlys Posted at 12-13 04:33

I have applied this method to almost all my online shopping.

I just hope I dont have to wait too long to find out.

I was looking at a low shutter counter 5dmk4,  for once its in good condition but its got a weird thing about it,  it has 7 batteries included.

Why would one get 7 and still have a low shuttercount?!?

Montfrooij Posted at 12-13 05:08

I know,  those batteries can last for weeks between charge so the need for more than 2 is beyond.

Maybe he / she used if for filmmaking.

You could film for days on 7 batteries.  But if he went somewhere remote like iceland it might have been helpful.  But still super unusual.

On my Nikon the battery lasts only 1h or so when filming.
So if that would be similar on the mk4, it would be a good explanation.
Also the low shuttercount matches this.

I don’t know how real this is but the specification is 2 hours 40 mins for continuous video recording assuming gps is off.   It goes down to 2:30 in cold conditions. But that might be like mavic3 flight time.

Wow, that would be impressive.

Montfrooij Posted at 12-13 07:21

In the end it sold for £1460 so went above my desired amount,  Oddly though the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar he was selling only go to £469 which was a good deal for someone.

Same here.    Lately, my patience seems to keep getting tested.

Leaks point to November,  which will give me time to save up for it.

Well at least we get to see what Mini 3 brings before too much longer.

Yes,   Hopefully they will support the original smart controller with it too.

Now wouldn't that be nice.  I've seen several users hoping for a firmware update or two before EOL hits the SC.  I'm hoping DJI will keep it around for at least a few more years as well as batteries for our M2Ps.

I really hope so too.

I'll keep my fingers crossed then and hope for the best.

That a great graphic.

     Just thought it was appropriate at the moment.

Yes,  It was very appropriate.
