If DJI wanted to impress, a drone that I could fly for 3 hrs, whilst sat in my living room with the RC connected to the TV aerial, 50 mile range, waterproof, a screen of air to keep rain off the lens, in these conditions (it’s less “light rain”, more “heavy and horizontal”!) … for the price of the Air … and my order would have been placed, already! :wink:
