There's an interesting interview with Randy Braun from DJI at NAB. Check out the time around 3:16 talking about start of production



Whatever it means "...... in the next few weeks ...."

@Tahoe_Ed: could you please confirm that shipping dates, as stated in the shop, are true?

I mean late April for the version without 2nd battery? I would need an alternative (doesn't mean I'll cancel my pre-order) to the Phantom 3 in case it cannot be delivered to me (Germany) before May 20th.

It would be good I think if DJI at least could comment any type of expectation or something, but they are completely quiet, nothing NaDa, zero, all I've seen is a pic of a large number of P3's on an manufacturing line but nothing more. Have they finished 1000 P3's? 10.000?

I guess if they won't speak and time goes some people will abandon the P3 and go for something else.
I would love to have my P3 as promised in late April but God knows when it shows up, I would hate to miss this summer without a drone.
