Ok, this might seem a little harsh but I gotta ask people's opinions here, and DJI reps please comment if you can. I wonder if it was a good idea for DJI to release this product in its current iteration? On the whole it seems like a great concept that has been poorly executed. As a business man I wonder would I put to press a piece of work unfinished? I have some concerns about the advertising of the Inspire, it was billed as a ready to fly product. There are many videos of people successfully using the product safely for various events. The actual aircraft has been anything but stellar in reviews. My own experiences have been disturbing, from the agonizingly painful firmware update, to the resultant chaos it has caused. The service from DJI has been reported by many to be sub par by a long shot, save a few representatives that grace the pages of this forum. Lets take a look at a typical successful vehicle manufacturing scenario and compare it to DJI's. A team of engineers design, oversee fabrication and test a vehicle, they find deficiencies and correct them, they go into production of both the product and serviceable and non serviceable components for after market sales and service. They create and impliment a distribution network and bring the product to market complete with spare parts galore. Do we see the same type of business model here? I see a few items missing. the online service was a fantastic idea, but after spending a few hours trying to communicate my problems for resolution I quickly realized that this was set up to placate the customer, as they knew less than I did and that's not meant as a compliment to me. I personally feel this flying camera has huge potential, but at present it is far to unstable for work. In fact I am not at all comfortable flying it. I'm not sure that I can trust it even in ATTI mode. So tell me what you think, do you think DJI pulled the trigger too early on this one? Did they have too much capital on the line and have to move product despite the fact that it was nowhere near ready for market? You be the judge.... A forum is a place for freedom of thought and on shouldn't feel afraid to speak ones mind.
