  • DJI are a market leader in drones and camera-tech and yet each time we buy a product, we're buying the same expensive core component over and over again, unnecessarily. This can be better, let's make DJI listen. Imagine the workflow simplicity of shooting both aerial and ground footage via the same camera/sensor.

      Thanks for the comment, if you're suggesting that your video was the inspiration for this video then unfortunately you're mistaken. I haven't seen your channel before, nor the video that you mention. Your video appears to be regarding the Pocket, whereas this video is about the entire DJI camera range, in addition the thumbnail that you've used states "Build this" as in to build the theoretical camera that you're talking about, whereas mine is asking DJI to implement an entire new concept across it's entire range. With thousands of creators on RUclips, there will occasionally be some minor cross-over in the content that we all product, it's just called 'coincidence' buddy.

    Thank you for a great video but in my opinion, DJI is here for business only and they know they can create anything they want. For this reason, they want to create something that you will break and pay for a repair service i.e like the DJI care. I'm sure the DJI marketing team recognizes the FPV community appetite and they want to lore us in for that. I hope they listen to your request but I doubt it. That just me saying.

  • @marcelfive1
    @marcelfive1 3 года назад

    Can't see it happening. If the processor is older, it won't work in a newer and more powerful drone. Look at the gimbal issues of the mini 2, the gimbal is not strong enough for the more powerful device.

  • @frankengels278
    @frankengels278 3 года назад

    I agree it would be a nice idea.
    Now for me I never broke a gimbal on any of my DJI Drones from the Phantom 2 Vision+ on , through most of the following generations, up to the FPV drone ... ok the Vision+ is not really a gimbal. Fun fact they are still all in flying conditions.

  • @MicoGhostTheOldCodger
    @MicoGhostTheOldCodger 3 года назад +1

      @@SunriseWaterMedia It was not really that hard, but I just had to very careful in the disassembly process (it often felt like I was going to break something prying on parts that clip together hard). Another thing that surprised me is that the camera module had several small memory chips on it. I learned upon re-assembly, that anything variable on the DJI Go4 app is stored in those camera memory chips. I had to reset EVERYTHING in the DJI Go4 app when I started it back up. But the operation was a success, and that old faithful drone still performs as well as it ever did.

    Yes it's a great idea because we are the consumer. But a bad business idea because your cutting down on profit and imagine buying a dji drone without a camera as an option. If that's the case take off an extra $200. I would love this to take place but I don't see them cutting down off their profit

  • @jackmuraguri1836
    @jackmuraguri1836 3 года назад

    The idea of a gimble that one can screw and unscrew is gigantic. That way, one could have several gimbals at home so that when one breaks, you just unscrew it and screw in a new one in without having to the send the whole drone to the dealer. DJI should pay you for this brilliant idea.

    I'm pretty sure it's a really easy-fix for their engineers and repair department, the real problem for me is actually their refresh/repair process, real pain in the a**.

    DJI want you to crash and pay for repairs, it’s better for them as a business. Just like Apple want you to break your iPhone screen and charge you £300 to replace it or buy their Apple Care for £150 and then charge £25 to repair it 🤔 The big players pretend to cater for the consumer but really they don’t.

    • @Droning-ON
      @Droning-ON  3 года назад +1

      Well, actually I disagree. To have a customer services operation, repair facility and to train those staff takes time, money and reduces their overall revenue. To push this responsibility to the customer means that they can focus on 'product' rather than 'service', that's where the easy profit margin exists.

  • @GrandpaFatmouth
    @GrandpaFatmouth 3 года назад

    It's a great idea, one I personally would love to see considering my run a d gun gear is osmo pocket 1, mini 2, rode wireless go 2, a zoom h1n. However, I suspect somehow this could eat up far more profit margin than dji would ever feel comfortable with.

  • @DimusTech
    @DimusTech 3 года назад

    Well, from a point of a customer, I totally agree and would love that.
    But, for a company, it's not a smart move, why would they give you the option to get a drone and a osmo pocket as one package if they can make you buy a full price drone and an osmo pocket, this way they sell more, earn more and so on. Sadly I guess that's the main reason it's not that easy to repair things and exchange parts
    But honestly knowing that the camera module is a more delicate one, they could just make it easier to be replaced I guess.
    on another note, Did you hear the rumor that the Mavic Air 2S will be able to connect to the FPV goggles?

    • @Droning-ON
      @Droning-ON  3 года назад

      Thanks dude, but I have to disagree. Pushing this responsibility from manufacturer to customer means a massive reduction in operating costs, not having to stand up a repair center and the customer service operation to go with it. Plus, it simplifies even their own repairs, plug-n-play means that they can ship a repaired drone out in minutes, rather than hours of intricate repair/solder/test etc. Yes I did hear the rumour that the 2S will connect to goggles, but I don't want to fly Mavics via goggles, it just isn't that kind of drone :)

    • @DimusTech
      @DimusTech 3 года назад

      ​@@Droning-ON Well I guess I didn't think of it that way, I honestly don't know what's better for a company but I hope that they will one day choose your way or something.
      and regarding that new Mavic, I don't know what's the point either, it will probably look nice but with an FPV drone goggles are probably more suitable
