I had a few others. Still have an aee ap9 needs a gps.. Sold my p3p. Sold my yuneec breeze. A couple inductrix fpvs nothing too special. I have a walkera lama 400d heli. But im honestly looking at buying 3 drones right now for my part 107 maybe you could Give me your opinion between a mavic air 2 , a evo 2 or an inspire 1 v2 black edition with zenmuse x5 with 3 batteries used but with very low hours for hopefully $1500 if I can talk him down. Im kinda stuck and im not sure if the evo 1 I have is gonna be enough to really start my business. I appreciate any input.

It really depends on what you plan to do. If you are a photographer and need 10-bit, then get a Mavic 2 Pro, if you do inspections and photogrammetry I recommend Phantom 4 Pro, since it has a Mechanical Shutter. Mavic Air 2 is a consumer drone and not really for professional use.

I wouldn't even consider a Inspire 1. It's as old as a Phantom 3 series and soon will be hard to find parts for it.

You can get an Evo 2, when they release the firmware that enables 10-bit, if that is your plan. I recommend you go for the 6K Evo 2 Pro, which in my opinion once it's polished through firmware, will become the best prosumer drone on the market.

I fly my Evo 1 all the time for my job and it gets the job done just fine. I work for an Engineering firm and I do progress logs for job sites, inspections, and photogrammetry.
