you didn't read the article did you, check out the new camera
The 1-inch sensor camera module is set to launch in the second quarter of 2017. This upgraded camera will shoot 4K Ultra HD video and 20MP stills. The larger sensor will allow this camera to perform better in low-light scenarios and capture more cinematic images with a wider aperture.
I'm a little surprised some of you never heard of these. I can walk into Best Buy right now and pick one up for $799. My favorite feature is the included hard case. Heck, that's a couple hundred bucks. Plus a 64g card. There are 80 reviews with a 4.8 score. That's pretty damn good. There are autonomous programs btw. It also has better transmitter distance using 5.8 Ghz.
However, even with that being said, I've looked at this unit before and passed on it simply because I didn't see it as a significant improvement over the Solo. Similar camera specs, similar flight time, similar lack of portability, no crash avoidance, no optical, sonic or radar sensors, 35 mph top speed, etc.
Now if I didn't own two Solos and was thinking about getting into the hobby, and hated DJI, I'd probably consider this unit.
I mean we can always paint our birds orange, right?
