Eeek, this has really forced me to rethink where I go now.
I don't even feel good about buying a second hand X5R now for my Inspire 1 as they still seem expensive and just been made to look outdated.
However.
On their site X5R is currently £3120
Yet the X5S which does 4k @ 60 and 5.2k + 20 MP = £1,969.00
(that should tell you how ridiculously over priced it is)
I can probably live without the
inspire 2 as a craft & the new camera, as the reality is MOST video is still going to be seen at 4k @ 24-30 FPS.
However as someone who was planning on doing this professionally in 2017 (already passed everything and awaiting permissions) it seems to me you will lose jobs to competiotrs if you do not have the latest stuff.
I don't mind competition which boils down to ability, but if my rival can do 60 FPS @ 4k and I can't.
Or better photos, or higher res video, that's something I can't fix and makes me look bad.
DJI very good at making my brain, heart and wallet hurt.
Even if I just said screw it, I'll get an X5R and be happy with that, the costs are going to need to come down.
Long version short.
Can't afford a full end
inspire 2 setups and camera.
Don't feel comfy spending so much on an outdated X5R system based on current prices.
OUTCOME = FRUSTRATED!
God I miss the days when I was happy with my phantom 2, hero 4 black edition and h3-3D
P.S.
Phantom 4 looks great, its going to shoot better video and photo than an inspire 1 + X5.
Might be the smart option.
