DA, my remark has nothing to do with the original post. Just most of the others. Read back over some of your follow up posts.

Then why did you reply to me then and not the other posts?

Good point, but his next breath still points to you, it's your follow-up posts that are in question, do try to contain yourself :p lol

MH, it's just a healthy discussion thread, nothing more, nothing less, we are not going to put a disclaimer on each reply stating that we know its just a rumour followed by our reply.

One thing of note is that the 2 main leakers are the ones that put the rumour out there so there's that, i say that there is a 50:50 chance its legit as I've not known them to be wrong yet. Remember the 1st Mini 3 Pro image where OsitaLV states "joking" yet he was bang on the money.

Perhaps there is an air of wishful thinking as opposed to thinking that its actually real, i just don't see the point in you having to keep on telling us, i mean, repeating the same thing wont make us fall one way or the other, not only that, you have no basis for your statements, we, on the other hand do as i mentioned in paragraph 2, still, it does not mean we are taking it as gospel though, a rumour is just that until more than just render is put forward.

Bashy, my only point is that the DroneXL article clearly states and acknowledges it is a work of fiction by a fanboy. It is a good mockup and art work. Most of the posts are giving it the same veracity as the Mini 3 leak. This is not a leak, it is fantasy. There is a difference and should be treated as such. But if you guys want to believe the video instead of the article, have at it.

See, youre still doing it, youre assuming that we believe it outright. We do not. Its just a discussion.

I will leave you to your thoughts, and let the discussion get bet on track

I wouldnt go that far

I may have succumbed already to be honest.

Looks a bit ungainly to me.  But first impression of the Mini3Pro were lukewarm to as I recall
That changed.

That ‘T’ arm design looks vulnerable in a crash and will require replacing a part with 2 motors and the associated wiring

Vulnerable and flimsy. Not reassuring features

It would be more expensive to replace as opposed to just one arm thats for sure.
Further thoughts on that, don't crash it ;)

The hand-catching will NOT be a problem.  The DJI store will include these accessories to help catch the M4-Z safely without any risk of injury to operator or the drone.

I see she already lost a couple of fingers!

Bashy Posted at 2022-12-22 08:47
That would be a downer losing hand catch/launch, was bad enough losing the little bit we did with the Mini 3 pro hand launch lol

Another thought, I think with the 1" sensor, variable aperture wouldn't be out of the question, something to look forward to, I miss that on these Mini's

Your right about the 1" sensor with variable aperture.
Sounds nice.

TonyPHX Posted at 2022-12-22 06:19
Those youtubers have elevated the art of click bait!  I gotta hand it to them!

I agree. I wouldn't want to buy that even if the leak is right. it looks so hideous.

I think it's also a nice design. But the main thing is always the technical possibilities.

DAFlys Posted at 2022-12-22 07:07
Do you mean in this shot?

It seems to me that the front propellers will be recorded by the camera all the time as they are sticking out a lot.

Some thought that about the Mini 3 Pro too

It would depend on how wide the lens was I would guess.

Yeah, that's true but the point is, as someone rightly mentioned it, the "new" drone is just someone's wishful thinking Ah, if only muy wishes came true LOL

well we'll see,  these guys predicted the Mini3 pretty closely.

TBH, I don't mind or care what comes out as we will find out anyway All I know is that I will be buying 2 more drones LOL

Im hoping this is out by March so I can pick up a free one from my local store.

Have you heard of nectar?  You get points when you purchase things from the super market, petrol,  eBay etc.  And if you use a credit card you get double.  So for purchases I would make anyway I get points towards store credit,  each year I collect enough to cover a few purchases like a new drone.

This won't ever be out.
I was hoping this total waste of forum space would have been finished and forgotten the day after it was started.
Why are there >140 posts about someone's silly, impractical, fantasy drone?

Well never say never....

DAFlys Posted at 1-18 01:33

Well, one of the reasons that I have my doubts about this drone to be out is the fact that the propellers are facing down which, of course, has its advantages, but on the other hand, they would create a lot of downforce and wind and taking off will cause the dust, or sand, or whatever particles on the ground below the drone to go nuts and the drone will very soon become covered in dust, let alone the motors.

DJI already use down facing props on other drones so they have had to tackle that issue already,  and not to mention in the FPV space a lot of those are pushers.   

Z is not good sign for war on Ukraine maybe ?

you can lower it down and catch from top ;)

click bait!

As pointed out by DroneXL, it's 100% fake

Have to agree with you there.

In a strong headwind those arms would tear right off

Hard luck on that score   But the replacement Mini3Pro should be a consolation - if UPS ever get round to delivering it

Quite so
Another flight of fancy on someone's part.

It's reached the local depot this morning,  but whether it got there in time for deliveries to go out is anyones guess.

Well don't rely on their tracking App to keep you informed

UPS usually delivery here a bout 10:30am,   they are surprisingly consistent with their timings,  yet the tracking app rarely shows it out for delivery until after its delivered.
