On March 28, DJI organizes an event in which a new product is announced, aimed at professional users. It is expected that the DJI Master Wheels, a gimbal controller with rotating wheels for the Ronin 2 stabilizer and Inspire 2 quadcopter.
Two circles as a hint
As often happens, DJI gives away a small hint through her official announcement. In this case the announcement shows two circles, together with the text "Over the years, DJI has reshaped the way of creative minds view the world. Now, we're changing the way you work in it. Stay tuned for what's next on March 28th. "
That it is a product for professional users is evident from the fact that the announcement was first distributed from the business @DJIEnterprise twitter account. Furthermore, the circles seem to point clearly to the turning wheels of a gimbal controller of which a leaked photo has been circulating for some time.
Rotating wheels
Reportedly, it is a gimbal controller for the Ronin 2 stabilizer and Inspire 2. Thanks to the three rotating wheels, the camera operator gains an extra precise control of the movements that the gimbal makes, along x, y, and z axes. There is also provision for rotary knobs to adjust the most important camera settings. Such controllers are common in high-end gimbals, and now DJI is also going to offer such a product to professional video makers.
Whether DJI will announce a Mavic Pro II or even Phantom 5 during the event is not clear yet. It is likely that DJI will use the event to announce the Phantom 4 Platinum, a quieter successor to the P4Pro.
