Anyone browsing this forum would be hard pressed to not be bombarded by the flood of negative comments regarding delivery/malfunctions/etc.
As such, given the announcement today, I can't help but think that executives at DJI saw GoPro's announcement, and decided to play spoiler by moving up the announcement date of the Mavic, to steal presales that would have otherwise gone to GoPro (I know it worked in my case...). It would have made far more sense to announce it alongside the other drones, the Phantom 4 Pro and the Inspire 2 today, and I would bet that was the original plan.
This would explain the absolutely attrocious rate of delivery which is only now starting to ramp up (around today's announcement...) as well as the less than stellar QC of the initial batch as one would expect if a product was rushed out the door far sooner than anyone anticipated.
I don't think it's far fetched to think this was purely about stealing GoPro's thunder (and orders) and the chaos that has resulted is the result of rushed timelines that I'm sure no one on the manufacturing/engineering/software side for DJI ever would have imagined happening.
