Many that ordered the consumer one are still waiting in line for that one, so their track record on producing something you can get off the shelf is not good. From all the reviews, on the consumer one is that its good for what its made for (Selfie Drone, active tracking). For this new X2, I was a bit taken back on the specs on the flir camera (320X256) and glad I made the choice for the MEA. Flight time is good and 180 degree of view will make it very versatile.
