Waiting for the specs...

Sorry, can you provide a little more on what is NAB?nI just don't know, sure its simple

Who's concept is that? I can render any fantasy of this kind in any decent CAD software ...
Edit: OMG. I'm and idiot ... It's April 1st!

Joke or not that looks amazing!

Beautiful Bird, BUT...it has a couple of flaws.

There are no parallelogram arms that would allow the outer arms to rotate to keep the props level as they are raised.  Without these the props would be tilted inward when raised.

The openings in the side of the main fuselage have no room for the arms to be raised after takeoff.

Happy April 1st.

Thats called dehydral angle in aviation.

They have, cause the hinges are so close to the opening.


Last, these are only digital renderings, and not photos

Its just a case study, but i dont think this is far fetched, this guy should get hired for his well balanced design

NAB is the film and camera industry's biggest convention

All joking aside, DJI should seriously consider this design. That thing looks amazing.

Is it an April 1st joke? We do not have any news about that.

I think it is a early April Fools joke   

I have seen this in other group forums too.

Battery interfaces are conspicuously absent, too.

beautiful design, but Inspire has been traditionally aggressive and menacing looking, this bird is a bit too, dare I say it ( can't wait for the flames) feminine?

I sure hope the next series will allow using the X5S & X7 cameras, ssd memory, and batteries.
