[QUOTE="Decado, post: 87124, member: 14923"] That's a good question. Generally speaking DJI products have a 2 year or so life span and that lines up with the end of Spark manufacture last November, by that measure the Air still has another 8 months give or take. That said, the Air hasn't been a huge seller for DJI so it'll depend on where any Spark replacement sits in the product lineup I suppose. If everyone's wish list for a Spark replacement is included then it really will just be an Air in size and price point. My hope if a replacement does appear is actually the opposite of most people. With the new laws coming into play in the U.K., U.S.A., Canada and Australia and other places I'd like to see DJI incorporate one or two upgrades, even if just a 3 axis gimbal and unlock the existing camera to use it's 4K ability and then trim about 60gm off it weight wise and bring it in under the 250gm limit so people can fly something a little better than a Tello without needing certification or registration. Yeah, I know. Dream on lol As far as a P5 goes, unlike many people I don't actually believe the Phantom line is dead for a number of reasons but DJI dealers were informed to expect a release on the P4 replacement in Jan and that has not taken place. There's obviously been a re think of some sort and I doubt we will see anything for quite a while. Just a guess, but around the time the Mavic 2 is coming near to end of life would make sense.
