This and their latest Inspire 3 are truly a feat of engineering

Every device manufacturer tends to fib a bit on battery life vs. real world, however, 45 mins of flight time is impressive. Even if its 30-35 mins fully maxed out that can give you a lot of time to creat content and explore

If only such a statement could be made about their horrible mobile apps needed to fly these drones.

I find that DJI fibs about their transmission range, but not battery life.

Awesome new cameras, but how do you land these things safely on a sailboat? It's always tricky and scary.

Tangentially: I wonder if a really long-flying quad copter can be made using a regular ICE + generator as a source of electricity. Carbohydrates are still more energy-dense.

Would love to get a new shiny thing, but it’s difficult to excuse since my 5 year old Mavic Air still works very well and feels amazing.

If you are looking into getting a (no-DIY) drone, consider a second-hand Mavic, they are cheap and great. Maybe get a new battery or two.

They really should allow auto updating of the Home location, however if you’re moving while landing getting that right is probably quite difficult.
