I'm really hard thinking about if I should quit the hobby in the long run.

Not because it's no fun.

but:

a) it got regulated to hell (places where I can fly legally are really rare now)

b) my hardware is somewhat out of date

I'd have to switch from #frsky and analog video to something new at some point in the future. That's like "replace ALL my gear" expensive.

By "in the long run" I don't mean I have to stop flying right now.

My existing quadcopters work fine and I've got some more recievers to pair to my Taranis QX7 in some drawer. I have enough spare parts to build me another 2 or 3 drones.

But actually getting new gear? For that I'd have to decide on if I really want to upgrade everything.

i.e.: getting me another Split-style camera is pretty much not an option anymore. New/good analog cameras? Yeah, might happen or might just not. Even my old 4in1-module in my QX7 will probably not talk to many new recievers anymore.

It's sad.

or find another hobby to replace it that you find more fulfilling.

well, more hobbies is never a problem! :-D

worst case I'm probably switching to more RC Cars, bikes and home automation
