If it was me I wouldn't sell the P4 until you get into a situation that needs better quality photos or video. Depending on your target market the P4 will likely suffice 85-95% of the time, and the other 15% you can negotiate with the customer, potentially, if he's picky. The other issue is weather. If it's always windy where you are shooting, then an Inspire might be more appropriate to get work done.
As for photo/video quality, I think only a movie or commercial ad producer would want something more than P4, but that's just my opinion. If you're an Ianwood, then yes a
P4P would be the appropriate backup to an
I2. It really depends on your customer base and what they need for quality, as well as if they are willing to pay more for that quality. If you find a market that needs 20mp photos, or video shoots that are at night where you can benefit from the better ISO performance of
P4P, then you should consider the
P4P. I wouldn't buy anything (high dollar-wise) I don't absolutely need for my target market. Even the Inspire might be worth waiting on until you get going with your customers that need Inspire quality moves, or airspeed in video shoots.
I look forward to the day when I can say, I've gotta buy an
Inspire 2. When I get a job that will justify that, and see more of the same in the future, that's going to be exciting times for me. It may not be too far down the road, so we'll see how long that takes. An Inspire is a big bird, it's not a craft to have fun with like a Phantom or a Mavic. Inspire is a serious tool that takes more effort and time to fly, dedicated for a purpose. It's not for the hobbyist IMO, unless you're rich of course.
