DJI Phantom 3 Expected release tomorrow?
Is the hype machine real? What do you hope to see?

See video for what people on the internet are
saying and what they would like to see in a new
Phantom 3 from DJI.

droneking,
Wait till tomorrow, the Kimono comes off and we will see all the latest, after that, free for all for the P2V+ V3.0, P2V, P2 etc...
Twas the night before release, and all through the house,
Not a flyer was sleeping, not even a Grouse.
Their Phantoms were in wait by their launch pads with care,
In hopes that a new UAV would soon would be there.

Their battery’s were being charged and snug in their sockets,
While the flyers had visions of taking off smoothly, and not like bottle rockets.
My co-pilot was asleep and I ready for a nap,
When I started to dream, another firmware upgrade...Holy Crap!

When out on the release stage there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my slumber to see what was the chatter.
Away to the bank I flew like a flash,
Broke my account open to layout the cash.

The RC on the breast of a newly designed GUI,
As several before seemed to go kapooi.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a brand new UAV and a new way to steer.

With a little old computer and not a recommendation to upgrade to 3.10 so quick,
I knew in a moment it must be a fix.
More rapid than eagles via RTH they came,
No whistling or shouting, and no one to blame!

P1, P2, P2V and P2VPlus!
Come home on command, come home you must!
To the top of your RTH and beyond the top of the wall!
Come home, come home safely, come home all!"

And then, in a twinkling, I heard from some goof,
That non calibration could cause a spoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
I realized that goofs new UAV may not be RTH bound.

This new UAV was truly grand and as bright as an elf,
I gleamed with excitement as I had to poke myself.
A flash of its lights and in a blink or two,
I knew that I would be flying and it would be so smooth.

A flick of my RC and a slight tilt of my head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

While laying my finger at the side my nose,
Up, up, up and up it rose!
I spoke not a word as the new UAV went straight up,
It was truly amazing and better than 7-up.

I yelled to the sky and gave a whistle,
And away I flew and away from the thistle.
My co-pilot heard me exclaim as I flew out of sight,
I am flying again and it is a good night.

all i can say is that most details were leaked, only the detailed specs are not known. I can say that i was a bit disapointed, i would have wished a newly designed copter, maybe a hex in RTF with the Olympus "Air" camera under it.  The thing is i had the Phantom1 and the P2 when it was released but now this design getting a bit boring to me and im sure im not alone with this opinion.

As some speculate, we have only been teased!

Who is going to upgrade to the 3?
How come they do not have a release date for the 3, as well? Who holds a conference with a new product ready for production w/o a realse date?

I just bought my PV2+. I'll let others be early adopters and do the debugging

Any idea when it is available? Thanks.

I was thinking the same thing. I guess I'm upset that the price is almost less than what I paid for my 2+....
