Thank you for the video .
I have been using Mi product for years (Smart item) , they never fail to impress me . Just sometimes it might be unstable , but they can fix it really fast like in week .

okay back to topic ,

Speaking as a RC Hobbyist , the main thing i concern when i buying drones are :
1) Technology they used - Like DJI Phantom 4 , YUNEEX Typhoon H ( IMHO > P4 )
                                    - Giving you confidence when flying

2)After sales support
                              - Firmware problem ? Bricked ? What to do if something happend ?

3) read tons of reviews from western people ( they are quite picky , so it's good to read their review )

4) Cost of Battery ( as Mi promised that it will be less than RMB500 per piece )
                            - When we fly , we dont fly for 20min / 1 pack battery only .
5) Resell Value
                        -For me , i usually hunt for used item , some may drop 40% some drop 60% base on condition

6) Camera Quality - Most important now adays , 4K is very simple a must inorder to attract customer , but not all screen can output 4k and when edit the video can eventually kill lol tongue.gif
7) Parts - What if i crash it ? Props ? I will never want to order from overseas ( expensive shipping fees , wait time )

no comment for 1, 2 and 3

4. if you follow proper procedure of handling and caring a lipo, it can last around 2-3 years depends on how often you fly

5. it wont depreciate much i guess? most likely buyer will see from the exterior look since there is no mileage like cars, i guess most of the drone will end up in total loss before they managed to sell it

6. 4k is only pixels, there are other factor to consider as well, but more pixel count allow you perform resize, crop and post-stabilization better

7. buy aftermarket parts if they are compatible and using standard screws thumbup.gif the thing is order from overseas is sometime cheaper than buying from local shops, not just RM10-20 cheaper but a large margin or it

i would prefer a hexacopter or octocopter anything, at least if 1 motor fail the drone will remain in the air and at least able return to base to save my camera and prevent collateral damage

i guess one of the major concern is that drone are getting cheaper and easily accessible to public, some fly it without any knowledge and understand the cause and effect, really worry if one day drone crash and injured or kill somebody, even bangla can own a drone nowadays
