Nevertheless I agree with the suggestion of keeping the I1 in stock even more, now.
The Mavic Air, I would say, has a superior camera quality than the X3 of the Inspire 1 and it is much smaller.
So why would I take the I1 ever again with me? Because its heaviness gives it stability in difficult situations and the dual operator mode.
Of course DJI can develop a true successor of the I1 with all the obstacle avoidance etc.
But they could also take the I1 as is, make it cheaper as its development costs are well earned yet and all tools to manufacture it exist already. Only the camera is its weak spot and that can be replaced.
Alternative is to develop a successor but keep the I1 frame pretty much as is, just swap out the electronics. But here as well, in many cases you do not need obstacle avoidance as there is nothing to avoid - free field flying. In other words, the I1 line for the cheap, the I2 line for the TV studios. |
