From user ed_windham (Edward J Windham NA Forum Support Manager):
"I see everyone is having fun. Can I dispel some rumors? You can believe me or not. What I am trying to do is inject some reality in the discourse here. There are no manufacturing issues. The issue is that DJI produced a product that was wildly popular. Beyond anything that we have produced to date. If there was a hardware issue don't you think that all the pre and production units in the hands of reviewers would have had the "fatal flaw". No that is not the case. I have asked that my preproduction unit be returned to me. I had it on loan for additional photos and videos. It is more important that I have it now. I will have it tomorrow. Some question the post that was made earlier by Ken. He did post some information that was internal. We all make mistakes. What did the post say. We are not going to do more advertising, we are not going to have reviewers post more reviews. Ask yourself this question, when you have an overflow of orders do you continue to fuel the fire for more orders? No you try to slow them down while you continue to ramp up additional production. If you ordered and want to cancel your order then please do so. This may not be the craft for you. You can file a case with the BBB but to what result. We are sorry we failed to meet a delivery date. That is what we will tell them. We will ship when we have sufficient supplies of product. We have continued to try and update our dealers with a ship date. If you ordered from them, then check to see what they have to say. If you ordered from DJI we have made a statement."
Now this is good info.
