Hello everybody!
I tried looking online for the answer/opinion to my query regarding model choice (Wifi or Premium) and have come up with a conclusion regarding my choice.
A bit of history: I have been cobbling drones together for the past 7 years. A few crashes, some successes and tons of fun in general.
I have always been a LOS flier. My dabbling in GPS/flight route planning always had me nervous when I had to "trust" the software/hardware to do what I programmed in. Someday their will be redundancy but until then...
So anyway, if I am going to be a LOS flier of the X-Star, is there any reason to spend the Extra money on the Premium model? From what I have read (and hopefully interpreted correctly) the primary difference is in the method of Video transmission from the X-Star to the tablet I use. The flight control transmission is the same for both models?
And since my 60 year old eyes don't have the "range" they used to have, I am surmising that since the X-Star will (most likely) never be farther than the Wifi's transmission distance capability.
So if I am never going to trust the drone beyond what my eyes are capable of observing, any reason to choose the Premium over the WiFi model?
I just want to make sure I am not missing something else that the Premium has that the WiFi model doesn't.
