They are incredibly sharp. The timing of the release came days after GoPro announced their product. They crushed the GoPro Karma. Of course GoPro will sell but they really took the edge of their release. Now they can stroll out the base model at a price level lower than the competition and outsell everyone. AGAIN! The DJI marketing and sales strategy is second to none. R&D clearly the best. Customer service probably last. Very profit oriented for sure.
I pose this to Autel, Yuneec and 3DR. How profitable is an upgradeable system? Removable gimbal is great for the owners but how profitable is it to the company. You release a $300 camera upgrade for you system. DJI releases a totally new product at 1000 that is more advanced and just better than yours. The technology moves so fast that the modular system doesn't make sense. In 6 months DJI will release the P5. It will be better than the Mavic and have new features. I would be shocked if they aren't already working on it..
So yeah, there will be a basic Mavic.. P5....
Inspire 2. And they will be incredibly smart on how they release them.
