Here is my advice to you. Decide what you want in a bird. Find the one that suits you and buy it when you are able. I had a P3s P3p and was just about to pull the trigger on a P4. The Mavic came out. It was exactly what I wanted. The portability video quality was exactly what I wanted. I bought it day one. Was lucky enough to get one early.
I advise you to do the same. Look at what is out and select from that. As soon as you buy it. DJI or some other company will release something better. That's just the nature of this hobby. New birds come out yearly for DJI. So the P5 will likely be out sometime in April. The P5 Pro December.
Mavic 2 October... That's just the nature of the game. If you are on a budget gut the P4 it is probaly the best bang for the buck right now. If you want the best DJI has to offer buy a
P4p. You will be top DJI dog for about 3 months. Or jump ship and get an Xstar Premium at least it is modular and you can upgrade the camera. I'm betting upgrading the camera will be expensive though but look out.. Autel is releasing a new Xstar Premium with retractable landing gear obstacle avoidance the whole 9 yards.... So once again.. Buy what you want and what suits you and don't look back the upgrade for your current bird is just around the corner.
Oh here is something else to consider. These birds have really poor resale value. When the new bird comes out DJI and competitors drop the price on your current bird buy as much as 40%. So you cant sell your old without taking a huge hit. So chose wisely and be ok with the price you pay when you make your purchase. So if you really like the
P4p wait until April to buy it if you are on a budget. If you just have to have a bird now get a P4... $800 is a steal for a P4. About a month ago P4's were well over 1K and had the same value as a Mavic.. Not today.
