Seem like someone already crack open the shell. Likely to be pre-production model, should be interesting to see the different between this and the production model.
Quad core on the 4 larger ones and duo-core on the other 4 makes 24 cores, wow! that would be some processing power.
Nice find..
I still don't understand why the board where the IMU is located, is suspended by solder. Is it designed to break on a heavy impact??
The Phantom 3's are designed this way also.
The gimbal looks easy to change.
IMHO, as someone who does a lot of soldering, it looks quite acceptable, esp. for a pre-production unit. I also like how they have adhered the motor wire leads to the main board, used multiple attachment points, and large pads for the solder joints. Well thought out.The hand solder joints on that look a little subpar to me, but it may just be the lighting in the photo.

They kinda do, you'd think that stuff would be connectorized. Maybe the production units will be different?The hand solder joints on that look a little subpar to me, but it may just be the lighting in the photo.
Totally off topic, but the Apollo computing story is fascinating. Here is one of my favorite stories on how the Apollo software was "woven" (literally):We landed on the Moon with less than 1/1,000 the processing power of the Mavic Pro. In fact, it's probably closer to 1/1,000,000.

Amazing - I hope DJI did enough thermal testing
Look closely at the underside fins and heat sinks as well as the heat sinks behind the camera obviosely thermal management was a major part of the engineering.
