Ok here's a question for you guys. If you already had a P4P, a Mavic, and Osmo+ and you had $1400 bucks burning a whole in your pocket what would you buy? I ask you guys cause you probably share a lot of the same interest as me. Let me know what you would do with $1400 bucks

Aloha 14j,

     Well, you could take $1000 of it and buy the CrystalSky 7.85 Ultra Brightness display and then use the $400 to buy the DJI Goggles.  Now all you got to do is come up with $50 more dollars to finish off the $450 it costs for the goggles.  Or if you got the High Brightness Crystal Sky 7.85 display for $700 you would have $250 left over for other purchases.

Aloha and Drone On!

Fuel for the car - no point flying at home, when there are many exiting places to visit and enjoy

Great ideas, I have the P4P+ and I like the display on that pretty good, but the goggles are a great idea too.

That's exactly why I posted this question here, great idea. It never dawned on me to use it to travel. I would love to come to Europe and fly, but I think it'll cost a little more than the 1400. Thanks for the awesome idea

A flying visit might not cost that much!

IE spending your time flying in our beautiful countryside, mountains and coastline instead of visiting tourist attractions designed to relieve you of you money.

UK is good value at the moment due to the exchange rate following Brexit, plenty of cheap places to stay.

Great idea, I've always wanted to go there. I'm one to go explore on my own and not go to the tourist traps anyways. Go off the beaten path and really check a place out.

How do you like your inspire. I'd love a Inspire 2, but that's not in the budget right now. An Inspire 1v2.0 might be cool to have. What do you feel are it's pros and cons compared to your P4? What doe you have as kit and suggest as having for the inspire?

I retired my inspire 1 and am getting an Inspire 2 next time around. I have been putting money aside for it. I have the P4P which is a great drone. Been getting stick time on that now. I have an FAA Part 107 License and will be using it for profit.

First I would get the DJI Goggles. Then I would put together a racer FPV package with the rest. That looks like a lot of fun!

Aloha 14j,

     No fair, I get to re-bid.  You said you had a P4 Pro, not a P4 Pro + (plus)!  Now I got to think about it again!  Back to you soon!

Aloha 14j,

     OK, now besides the DJI Goggles ($450), get two ND filters and a UV filter ($29, $29 & $39).  Then get the Phantom 4 Series - Wrap Pack ($24).  It is waterproof and will go over your foam Phantom case and provide shoulder straps.  With traveling, get the car charger for P4s ($62) and another high capacity battery ($170) just because.  

     For the Mavic, get the Mavic - Car Charger ($49).  Get another Mavic - Intelligent Flight Battery ($89) just because.  And get an ND filter for $35.  For $25 - $30 you can get a tablet holder for larger tablets (Skyreat etc. on Amazon) and/or a Remote Controller Monitor Hood ($19).

     This puts you over $1000 so the rest can be used for gas since you have shown an interest in that in the other posts.  Note that almost all the items have traveling applications.  You may already have some of the items, but like the PLUS, you did not say so!

     Hope this helps!  Have a good time!

Aloha and Drone On!
