Agree 100% ... if you sleep well each night you've made the right choice.
Nice to see you over here and not brainwashed and told what is good for you over there. Like you I have high hopes for the S2, I shall remain open minded and skeptical at the same time.
I feel the SD2 will have more impact on guys like Ridefreak and myself because it's what we do, high speed vehicle follow. We understand the challenges of high speed, elevation changes, obstacles.... Walking through a mountain trail from behind is easy in comparison.
Photographers, Real Estate, Inspectors.... don't have experience with a device barometer, GPS to GPS Follow, Optical framing....... and don't need too. I hear over and over on the other forums "I don't use that feature - I'll never use Follow - I don't want autonomous flight...).
So really if you don't have the need DJI fits the bill. In my opinion adding world class obstacle avoidance to a aerial photography platform can only make it better. DJI has had years to develop excellent cameras, Ocusynch - Lightbridge, VPS, etc... so DJI offers a solid platform for what these consumers want.
If the P4P or M2P had S2 OA who wouldn't buy it? Reality is it will take Skydio some time to have mature cameras, Wi-Fi link.... my concern is if they get there. DJI is famous for bullying the market(as is their right) and driving out upstarts. I would say the Follow capabilities appeal to the minority of the market , not many users. Commercial, S&R, Military, AP want what DJI has and will only switch over if the OA Safe bubble adds functionality.
I think Skydio is being taken seriously by the market, including DJI. Not since Wang visited, and tried to buy, 3DR was DJI scared of a competitor. Yuneec, Autel, Parrot are all great products IMO and do many things better than DJI but have not had an affect on DJI.
So I'm not scared away at all, I embrace this new technology and will give SD a chance. What they are doing is bold and the only thing that will shake up the status quo which is DJI repackaging current and old technology. It's risky but risk vs return, they may become another memory but they might spur a new generation of safe consumer drone.
