LOL. But that's not how they roll....
(1) big hoopla about next drone
(2) leak a photo that may be the drone, or not
(3) leak a bit to a friendly industry writer to spike interest
(4) keep us in suspense for a year (release the product for consumers to purchase, BETA test and work out the bugs).
(5) re-release with the final (??) software version
(6) release updates....release updates...rinse and repeat.
Did I miss a step?

Looks like a FPV racer.

Maybe DJI figures the aerial camera drones may get nixed from the skies over privacy, trespassing, safety, etc. laws so they are making racers that may still be able to fly within a netted indoor obstacle and race track. I was surprised to see the sheer number of FPV racers waiting to race at the LA International Drone Show last December. Maybe even more than the aerial camera guys too.

The only segment of the market they don't "own" for the most part. I could see how they would be attracted towards it and it fits into their plans of domination of the UAV market.

You're out of your mind if you think that'll happen.

Yep...DJI needs to keep people looking. The moment you look away, the hypnotism fades.
