As someone who creates in eagle cad, fabs my own boards, designs my own circuits and programs my own microcontrollers (strait to metal btw). The process of making one elite item, like nothing out, can take a couple of days as they are hand made with parts sourced from s korea, japan, isreal. I can't say China makes good parts, they assemble parts well, but making mosfets, inductors, microcontrollers, no. Sense resistors, caps, diodes, yeah. China has manufacturing down though. Like if I need aluminum parts, it's China. Anything milled or lathed in mass, China. But I notice they play the game too. If you want something cheap, they will make it cheap, I mean monkey wrench in the cnc design. Non flat surfaces the whole bit :]
They know how to price things and destroy competition. Think their currency is rigged too. China dominates world manufacturing right now. I like to say, China puts together the best hardware on the planet and they can design things that are way ahead of others. Software, not so sure. Look at the One Plus X and 2, and now 3. The phones are absolutely awesome, but they come with a OS written by a little kid. Devs from all over the world love the phones though. Like the X can record 4k video at 30 fps, once a hobby dev figured it out. The thing is horrible stock and can't even do 60 fps in 1080p. Devs even got the phone to run cooler and not suffer performance using Marshmallow. One plus devs are still on Lollipop. Same with the 2, I own both of them and they are better than any android out there because of the dev community.
I think the mavic will be the same way. I have so many mods in mind for this little thing. The base is perfect, it needs a few hardware tweaks to put it over the top. |
