Wow for $16k and you cant even use the I3 out of the box.  You have to drop an additional $1200+tax for a lens.  But hey at least they give you a lens box with the drone to put it in after you buy it.  28min flight time which is only about 5min more than the I2.  I expected a much bigger jump.  Ill stick with my M3 and M3C.   

Don’t ever look into what comes with cinema cameras in the box, you might get a heart attack

This drone is probably not aimed at you,   it's aimed at people on big budget film sets.

Agreed!  I come from the photo side of things and most of dslr/mirrorless  come with lens kit options.  

Its not an aweful idea for the people moving up from the x7 on the inspire 2 as we have the set of lens' already

for anyone getting into it for the first time tho, its super annoying.

For 15K this has lenses  too!!!

My last two DSLRs didnt come with lenses but then I already had them.

True, but 8k Resolution and a full frame sensor is fantastic.

Agreed but keep in mind that they pulled off a full frame camera, and 360 sensors. But! Still not worth 16k

Kit camera setups are aimed for budget shooters and the lens that comes with it, is usually the lowest quality glass available.

For pros, absolutely yes.

If you buy professional level cameras they are body only, particularly video  cameras. Usually the manufacturer doesn’t even make lenses. This is the market that the Inspire is aimed at, and to even include a lens as standard is making unwarranted assumptions as to how the drone will be used.

They discounted the overall price by about $1600 so that you could choose your own lens or use the lenses you may have already owned.
