The technology we built into the Inspire 1 is based on all of our years of research and development, and we have always dreamed of combining these elements into one complete system. So these first flights were deeply important to us.<\/p>\n<p>As these flight tests went increasingly well, we started bringing the Inspire 1 around the world to test it in different environments. At that time, we were 99% certain for a launch date in early December. Unfortunately, as we started ramping up to full production scale, there were unavoidable circumstances that prevented our best work from being completed.<\/p>\n<p>So now it is the right decision to delay shipments. We apologize for bringing you this news, but we are working hard to give you the best products you need.<\/p>\n<p>We will update you on our shipment times soon.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>DJI<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The following information was found on the DJI Support Forum on November 30th:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hey guys\uff0c<br \/>\nI apologize for the shipment delay.<span class=\"text_exposed_show\"><br \/>\nActually we do have encountered some problems in production.<br \/>\nThe worst one is the lens. The original design is lens + filter glass.<br \/>\nBut we found that when the sun is not appeared in the filed of view, the sun light will affect the image quality.<br \/>\nEngineers advised to accept the result because it is just one case and will be ok in 90% of applications.<br \/>\nBut the product manager disagreed. He insisted that the camera is the key point of the inspire 1.<br \/>\nWe should do something to make things better.<br \/>\nSo we decided to add lens hood onto the camera.<br \/>\nAnd you can find out the camera on website is different with the introduction video.<br \/>\nIt is a big change and the date is close to release.<br \/>\nHowever\uff0cthere are a lot of work to do.<br \/>\nRedesigned the camera within limited weight and room.<br \/>\nChanged the design of lens.<br \/>\nMade the plastic molding which is 20 days in general and we compressed it down to 15 days.<br \/>\nTest and so on.<br \/>\nThe shipment date was estimated to the end of November if everything goes well.<br \/>\nBut unfortunately, troubles happend time by time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We have to inform you the delay info reluctantly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<blockquote><p>Please believe that we are doing our best to get it done.<br \/>\nWe are more anxious than you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Image courtesy of\u00a0cheesycam.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DJI&#8217;s new Inspire 1 quadcopter which was announced on Nov 13th, is going to be delayed.
