It looks like something is on its way! The slogan is “See the Bigger Picture.” Maybe better camera quality? Vague as ever. I’d bet on a Mavic Pro 2 with an upgraded camera. Also, the father day sales on the Mavic might mean they were trying to clear out their inventory... A591C3AC-8615-40A1-8D92-437E9B921404.jpeg

This is what DroneDJ had to say:

I think it will be a new design - not an MP2 as such but something like a small P4P or an MP with a serious camera - I hope anyway

That would be the ideal - P4P camera quality but with a smaller footprint.

That would make my day - I've waited 18 months for a drone like that. Take the MP and P4P and put them together with some add on's from the MA and voila - the perfect drone. Though I suspect it could also be a just new lens for the Inspire LOL

A new lense would be a disappointment for me. But, a Phavic Pro would be AWESOME.

Oh baby, A media preview a week earlier?? Must be something big.
The hype train is boarding at track II, this could really be the one we're waiting for!

And since the >900 gram dronemarket for Europe is going to be dead soon, lets give us a Mavic II with superb camera

Bigger picture 22mmp, that would be bigger and 1 inch sensor, would be a death knell to Autel EVO , and I think many will now wait before buying EVO or parrot

The bell is tolling for Parrot and Autel.  The knockout punch is coming, better watch for the hook.  I am quite excited.

That’s a safe bet, I think been waiting for this hopefully bigger camera maybe even a 360 camera like the inspire.

If it is smaller like the Mavic series, I doubt the camera would go 360. But, you never can know.

Hah, this is exactly what I expected to happen right after Autel and Parrot would eventually launch their new models! D-Day is coming and I fully agree with others here that it will most probably be what many of us have been waiting for. The still new and outstanding Zenmuse X7 and the even more recent dual version with infrared cam are far too recent for yet another camera. On the Osmo and Ronin side all is too new still as well and the teaser picture clearly points to a flying device. On the Phantom branch we have just seen the launch of the P4P V2, thus not a P5 to expect this fast afterwards. What remains now is something new (whatever it will be called) replacing the Mavic Pro series and being below 900 grammes weight. Today I realised another indication for this. Just go to the main DJI website and watch which products are displayed there one after the other https://www.dji.com/ . The only model familiar to us that is missing there is the Mavic Pro/Platinum.
And what I like most about todays announcement is this: "Prior to DJI’s media event in New York on July 18th, there will also be a small media preview event on July 11th" which is my birthday . Now I believe to have an idea, what my birthday present might be...

Things are beginning to line up and point towards something BIG and NEW Maybe a whole different product line? Either way, I'm excited to see.

Happy early birthday! Hopefully your week-lake birthday present will be up to our expectations

They did the same thing in September 2016 against GO Pro. They recalled the Karma, discontinued it and pulled out from the drone market whilst the original Mavic Pro became the most commercially successful prosumer drone ever made.

I perfectly know what you mean, although at our house my role is primarily limited to generating the income, while the house CEO is taking care of the expenditure ;-) But on 18 July she will already be gone for a five or six weeks vacation to her home country without me (like every year) and I shall enjoy a lot of freedom (only on the drone side of course!)

Lol, fair play. I have tell my other half I win things on raffles! She’s getting savvy now though and actually searching the stuff online for cost! Literally just bought an Air in black and tat was so she doesn’t notice it’s a different model!

Be hard to push that, what the dish washer don’t do I tend to anyway! Perhaps the wife just humours me and my lame excuses for why these boxes of stuff turn up and pities me. Lol. Mavic Pro 2 with better camera would be very hard to resist!

I'll buy it but only when I can walk into my nearest Apple store and buy it in person - any problems in the first month and I get a sealed boxed replacement the same day! Learn't that the hard way! Happy to fly my fairly new Mavic Air for a few more months yet anyway.

Sold my MPP as never flew it again after buying the Mavic Air. Don't get me wrong though, the MPP was great and OcuSync was hard to give up but the MA is just amazing. The image quality is clearly better than my previous MPP as is the gimbal and as for the range... I hit 6,825.3 feet today and still had a good signal before I decided to turn around - that's 1.293 miles or 2,080m in a CE area - far more than I normally need.
It's really portable and the tech built into it is fantastic for a drone that size. I was sceptical at first and bought it from Apple thinking I would return it within the first 2 weeks and get a full refund but after my first 3 flights (got the fly more combo) I was hooked. I've flown it nearly 70 times since my maiden flight on 01 May - it's become my favourite drone that I have owned to date and I've had 7 DJI drones from the Spark to the P3P and P4P to every version of the Mavic Pro. I highly recommend the MA but probably best to wait until 18 July now though I won't be selling the MA for a long time to come.

It definitely doesn’t reveal much. But, when the release does happen, I’m sure it will make sense.
