Hi all,
My company has finally given me the go-ahead to get a drone for photogrammetry. I couldn't talk my bosses into the P4 RTK or the Inspire line, because of the costs. But the P4 Pro V2.0 would work just as well for our mapping needs.
Only problem is that despite the P4 Pro V2.0 being readily available 2-3 months ago, apparently now they're being listed by most vendors as discontinued? I read an article from DJI stating they were having difficulties sourcing some parts, and they had no idea when that situation would be resolved. I was hoping to have heard of some progress after Chinese New Year, but so far no luck.
I've searched here in the forum, but aside from some posts from the middle of 2018, I've not seen much else.
So, anyone know what's up? Is the Phantom 4 line now dead in the water, aside from DJI Care refurbs and replacements, and whatever back-stock vendors have on hand?
If so, that really sucks. I've very familiar with the Phantom line and it's capabilities. DroneNerds suggested I look at the Mavic 2 Pro, but I'd need to research how well the Mavic plays with 3rd party mapping apps.
Thanks,
- Jason
