There has been speculation for some time that DJI was preparing for a new release. They had posted a video several months back of a Phantom X concept and more recently they have drastically reduced prices on the current Phantom line.
The video, like any good teaser, does not reveal terribly much but is effective at tweaking your curiosity and building anticipation. From what little can be seen, the new model (whatever it is) looks to be sleeker. One of the most hoped for features is longer flight time. The wait will be over March 1. DRONELIFE will be on hand to cover the announcement. Until then we an only guess on the features, price point, and name. Our guess? The Phantom 4.
