DJI at CES - Allegedly new product to be unveiled

[Woods]

Sorry if this has been discussed already, but how do we know GoPro is working on a drone at all. Was it announced or leaked someplace.
Me personally, I'm looking forward to a vision 4. The vision + camera quality and video is just fine for my use. I've seen the comparison videos as well, and the difference between GoPro and the Vision + are minimal from my perspective.

If GoPro comes up with a comparable drone, I would definitely be interested. But all things being equal right now; a Vision 4 would be great to see.

Not announced by anyone. Nothing official. Rumor and innuendo only, reported as such by WSJ and picked up by a few other news outlets. If a GoPro drone was imminent, I would have expected either an announcement, or a more detailed leak at CES. I have mentioned it before. If I was Nick Woodman, I would want to be VERY cautious about committing my company to a complicated and troublesome product line in this f'ed up regulatory environment. Drone photography would be a GREAT way to sell GoPro cameras, but it's also a MAJOR target for every privacy-paranoiac out there, and state/local legislation, not to mention impending FAA regulation, is coming up almost every day.

Yeah... I think I'll just sell off all my Multi-rotors and go back to a safer, less contentious hobby. Like collecting, reloading and shooting firearms... :roll: [/quote]

If these units keep progressing at the current pace, you could combine both hobbies and use your old multi rotors as skeet.

No one has yet mentioned the rumours that Gopro might buyout DJI. Is that still a possibility or Is that a dead rumour now?

Anything's possible. Nothing came out of CES, though...not even a rumor or leak.
