    ok this plus the fact that their launch is in 30 days and a ton of critical info is missing is disconcerting.

    plus a 4k camera alone is about $400, so there is a lot of promise on the table coming from like $850 worth of drone.


    that said, if the product proofs out and comes close to meeting this sort of cost/performance ratio, im snap purchasing.

    15-20 minutes is not a deal breaker. i was hoping for 25-30 solid minutes tho. like, 15-20 out of the box means that within a month im probably getting all of 10 in a dead calm.

    not to mention, go pro is rad and all but holy shit, a 4k camera on a drone? thats seriously nexteenth level.
    Pre-ban. Love this.

    What is the new product life-cycle?

    What would an unopened box post FAA ban command? 2X? Window gonna snap shut, right?

    a challenger appears.


    apparently 3d robotics is more like a neo-opensource DJI, eg its huuugely extensible. which is attractive i suppose.

    Come on dude. This is a weak-ass attempt at viral marketing. He just wants you to buy his lemons or whatever at kickstarter. The whole thing is staged.
