I had originally planned on getting the mavic air, was very disappointed when I found out it had wifi. It would be great if dji released an updated version with ocusync but I Have my doubts. Would I buy the new version? No, because I’m really liking the mavic Pro 2 with the hasslehoff camera...
I agree with you the Mavic 2 with its improved and all its recent newly updated firmware release stands as the most capable DJI drone, however I'd still say the original Mavic Pro stands as the most well-rounded DJI drone, based on its price and overall functionality.
I think once DJI no longer sells the Mavic Pro, they will issue a significant reduction to the Mavic 2, likely by several hundred dollars, lowering the price for the Mavic 2 Zoom and 2 Pro by $200, perhaps?
I think if the price of the Mavic 2 Zoom changes to $1,049 and Mavic 2 Pro to $1,299, then it would equate to a more reasonable price.
DJI at one point lowered the original Mavic Pro price to $899, which at the time included a free additional battery, so at around $799 for the basic package, we are paying additional $700 for the improvements in technology and innovation.
Usually in the market consumers historically enjoy paying very little price premiums, if at all, for updated versions of products with new improved technology. Because little competition exists with drones, DJI can charge an 88% price increase for the new Mavic 2 over original Mavic Pro. Honestly, I think a 25% price premium is still rich for the technology improvements included with Mavic 2, because usually in the past I've paid that premium over the prior generations for other similar class products. I own the original Mavic Pro and while I'm a big fan of Mavic 2, it's hard for me to justify paying that much more for the included upgrades. |
