I’d hate to be on an airliner taking off where a drone could easily be flown for nefarious reasons. Outside of that. I don’t see problem.

However in the morning I found a combo for AU$929 and bought it. Not that I need all stuff they include in the combo but I would not mind some of it and it looks like a good deal.

There are Epson Moverio glasses that are see through and in fact work with DJI drones(you can install DJI GO app on them). I was chasing one for a long time, then forgot about them...

I also carry a charger in case more time is needed (sometimes it is) and if I cycle drained batteries onto the charger as they are used, I encounter no down time waiting for a battery. True, I have no other comparison as this was my first drone, but it's been great for over a year now.

You are probably talking about their cheap thermal camera with 160x120 resolution. You won't be able to do much with such a small thermal sensor.

The X5s is a micro 4/3rds sensor and the X7 is a Super 35 sensor. You can (and I have) film Hollywood films with this drone. The Inspire 2 is likely overkill for most real estate photography/videography and besides, it grabs an audience in the sky when maybe you don't really want to draw too much...
