Most "Leaks" now a days are a quite deliberate strategy of behalf of the company to drum up the hype.Somebody is gonna get sued, or at least never be trusted as a tech reviewer again. That drone is plastered with identification stickers so I'm sure DJI will be able to track down the leaker.
It does look quite sturdy compared to other DJI drones. but I do wonder how durable it will be. I don't know much about FPV drones, but from what I have seen, they are like advanced RC toys used primarily for aerial acrobatics (some absolutely absurd stuff online). Considering that, crashing all the time seems inevitable, and it looks like current high end FPV drones are custom jobs with a modular design that presumably makes it easier to replaced damaged parts after a crash. It's not really feasible to buy a new drone or constantly send your drone back to DJI for repairs...
... Unless this isn't that kind of drone at all? And DJI is just releasing another camera drone that happens to be designed around FPV?
Check out videos in our sister forum. Drone Racing FPV ForumSure does look fun to fly! Wonder when it is coming out? Would this be something just for fun or could it compete with other racing drones? I have never done any racing but I’m kind of interested so I really I’m just asking opinions.
Ooh, you're sharp!This is the first I've seen of this but just by looking at the box, I'd guess fake. Look at the controller and the goggles, you can see where the image was pasted together.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. If it was an intentional leek they would have removed all the stickers.Somebody is gonna get sued, or at least never be trusted as a tech reviewer again. That drone is plastered with identification stickers so I'm sure DJI will be able to track down the leaker.

I watched some of that FPV stuff at the air show, too quick for me. Reaction time is not what it used to be
