I should have put that as an option...I’m not going to switch. I am waiting for the phantom 5.
I have the p4p and have the whole system at firmwares which allow me to fly without wind and geo nags and limitations. A new Mavic would be a step in the wrong direction for me in terms of navigational software flight experience. The mavics look like great birds but at a cost of freedom in the sky? No thanks. That's the spoiler with new dji birds, the newer restrictive software that comes along with it.
I have to agree , the 509 firmware is what make the adventure complete and any thing more restrictive is a step back, Special effects are cool but freedom to fly high - far and fast is also powerful. The phantom 4 P and the 509 that is a fantastic combination and provides the most fun.
To be fair, it's not specifically the new mavics that are any more restrictive than the newest firmware for any dji bird in the lineups- at least not that I know about. It's a concern for those of us who have steadfastly held to earlier firnwares, as we've become quite spoiled with non-intrusive uninterrupted flight that has been forced on responsible drone pilots by the irresponsibility of other drone pilots. So in one instant I think yeah, I want a mp2 for sure, or a P5! But then reality sets in. The airspace above me is complicated in many areas. I spend a lot of time working through it responsibly on my own. Current dji software would at least drive me insane and at most, lose me working opportunities. It's a rare miracle I ended up with my p4p, an amazing bird, with great software. Switching or ditching for anything new? Not for me. And who caused it? Dji themselves. Ultimate irony.What restrictions were added after this firmware? The limits here in the UK mean I'd probably not even notice, but I'm curious.
