You dont get it, The Inspire has 360 degree 2nd camera operator for the professional Pilot and Camera Operator working together. Also the Inspire has HDMI output on both remotes which is needed again for the profession web streamers broadcasting live events from the copter. Also the Inspire flys much faster forward flight as well as much better blade clearance with its landing gear.
The Phantom 3 and the Inspire are 2 totally different copters, one is for the professional and the other is for the more advanced professional with more needs.
Yes for almost 3 times the price.... it's a totally wrong price range. And now? Will they drop the I1 price.... so all the people like me who invested in a I1 machine will feel like a fool only 2/3 months after their investment? DJI does not keep in mind that people invest their money and their investment should keep the value at least for 6/9 months....
I agree with Tahoejmfc saying the two quads are two different platforms for different jobs. the Phantom always was some kind of "toy" and never a professional tool like the I1 and I think with the "H" form which is the best construction form. the I1 will stay on top notch. 4k or not on the P3 it will not be as stable or versatile as the I1. it is better looking and looking at the functionality is also better as in stability and speed which makes it essential for many jobs like chase or adverts.
I think DJI is a company not a charity support organisation and their aim is to make money. they should have a look at us sure I agree in that but I do not think they would be so ruthless to have us spend 3+K and then come out with something that seems the same.. it is NOT. you do not have 360° round view, you do not have the bad *** stability (I think) and you definitely you do not have the speed with a Phantom... and the modular design from the I1 is not a coincident... it purpose... and there will be more and better accessories to the I1 with better camera and upgrades that a P3 will NEVER have only when doing something on it in your garage but not being able like will be into our shop and buy the FPV kit to just plug and play on the I1...
that is my personal opinion and I did not mean to offend anyone. in case I did I do apologize.
