DJI is not going to be a NAB we're going to talk about what's going on and what they
have planned for the future and the video coming up what's going on guys I'm
brick your mellow with brick your mellow calm and if you haven't done so please
subscribe to my channel so you get more news tips reviews about DJI gear and
drones to help you become a better content creator so I was a little
surprised when I heard that DJI wasn't gonna be a NAB obviously they've been
there the last few years and since they're the leader in consumer drones
everyone kind of expects them to be there and that isn't the case this year
so what's going on so I read an article over the weekend by drone DJ and in this
article I'm gonna read what Adam Liz Berg the corporate communications
director for DJI North America said about tGI's plans for not being an NAB
and then what's going on okay so this is what Adam Liz Berg told drone DJ we've
had a traditional booth at NAB and other large offense for the last several years
but we've decided to refocus our promotion strategy we're evaluating the
best way to support the professional imaging market and our Pro customers so
we're considering alternative options we're going to explore other ways to
reach this customer base and demonstrate our support for them so okay so let's
break this down what's going on so it sounds like NAB hasn't been the best
promotional strategy for DJI if it was they would be there so it seems like
them doing their own separate launch seems to get more attention so that's my
first takeaway from this the other takeaway is that they're gonna go after
the pro market so remember when I had that sort of a rumor speculation type
video I don't like to do too many of those and I guess this one is another
one but it is news that DGI is not in nab few weeks ago I made a video about
this product that DG I was coming out it looks like a high-end video camera I
suspect it will have an X 7 maybe they're gonna have an X 8 or some type
of full frame lens on it you can see on the side that looks like an X 7 lens and
obviously that's a crop sensor 1.5 so I know everyone's into full frame so I
imagined guy is trying to go towards that if it's
not still we'll be able to shoot 4k raw with the Apple ProRes in 6k and Sydney D
and G I'm sure or something better than that so my hunch this very well could be
a possibility that video that I made a few weeks ago now it seems more likely
based on what this representative for DJI North America said and I read
another article online and I can't seem to find it I don't know whether DJI said
something and he deleted it but I could have sworn that they said that they were
gonna release a new product towards the end of April maybe a few weeks after NAB
I'm certain I read it last week I read it sometime and now I cannot find it so
I don't know what happened but my gut feeling is that DJI will release a new
product this month what exactly it is I don't think it's gonna be the Phantom 5
I think that's gonna come out later I think this will could very well be that
high-end video camera or a high-end lens that you can use with the inspired 2 and
possibly with a phantom 5 at a later point
my other hunch was that a new spark would come out but after hearing this
spark is not a professional drone so obviously that goes out the window
they're not gonna come out with that a new ozma or Ronin now they had the Ronin
s they're not gonna come out with something like that and the Osmo pocket
is still relatively new so I don't see anything like that so the only options
are really something like a phantom 5 which I don't suspect everything I've
heard is that it's gonna come out later so that really narrows it down to like
the inspire 2 or like enterprise but Enterprise is usually not a huge
announcement that's usually on the side because most people don't care about
enterprise drones so most people a can't afford them and B
they don't do that type of work that's very specialized it's a very specialized
niche that narrows it down to inspired 2 or this new like high-end video camera
so it's interesting this is no April Fool's this is my just my opinion of
course one thing I will say I'm not really disappointed too much so that the
fan of 5 hasn't come out yet because I want it to be really good I want DG I
really to target the professional cinematographers so if that means they
got to spend some extra time to get the interchangeable lenses and other
features that they want to on that that's fine with me because
quite honestly they made their consumer drones so good the phantom 4 and the
Mavic 2 pro are so good that I use those for commercial work and it gets the job
done I'm really happy with it I'm pleased so they want to take their time
I'm fine with that I know a lot of you guys out there are frustrated but I
think you should take a minute just to be grateful and happy for the technology
that we have I try to remind myself that every day even though on this channel
I'm always coming out with new equipment reviews and tutorials and things like
that I do appreciate the gear that I have and the technology that we have
right at this moment so that's how I approach it next month I am gonna be
releasing my first complete tutorial series it's gonna be involving DJI
drones I'm not gonna talk a lot about it now but I just want to give you a heads
up I've been working really hard behind the scenes on this long tutorial series
that's why I haven't been posting quite as much lately and I'll tell you more
about it as we get closer to May as always I do appreciate your support for
this channel I hope you guys have a great day remember Sam pretty pelant a
