I can't comment on what's fact or not at this point but given dji customer base, I wouldnt be surprised if that's how they chose to handle this
Great examples here!Maybe it's just me, but I don't see a problem with DJI constantly updating the Inspire. This sort of product iteration is completely normal and I for one don't feel I'm "owed" anything. To put it in perspective, if you purchased a 2014 Ford Mustang, as an example, only to find the 2015 model comes out with 10 more horsepower and LED headlights, do you expect Ford to upgrade your 2014 Mustang for free? Do you complain that Ford doesn't give a crap about its customers? Or how about computer manufacturers? Would you expect Intel to send you a free new CPU every time they bump up the speed?
Some time ago we all purchased an Inspire 1 and got exactly that, a current Inspire 1 at that time. Just because DJI is now updating some components doesn't mean we're entitled to those new updates for free.
I flew mine in atti mode a few days ago with latest fw the exact same speed i flew 6 mo ago.I don't care about all these "updates".My Inspire flies well and I'm happy.What I don't like is the speed reduction awhile ago.Still trying to find out wich firmware has the old speed.
I stopped updating my app and firmware 2 months ago and I have no intention to update anything anymore.Bur for sure I will look to other brands next time.
I wouldn't get too excited or upset just yet.
DJI have posted nothing about these new motors.
KV rating on its own is meaningless - It is simply a constant defined as RPM per volt (under no load)
There are too many other variable that have not been quoted to say this is nothing more than marketing (and a new prop fastening system!)
The 'new' system will still be using the same packs and therefore the cell count and current will be the same as well as the length and chord of the props.
You cannot get something for nothing........................... It's called Physics!
Greg stop Moaning about people Moaning....Great examples here!
When i found out about the osmo or the new motors i didnt spend all day moaning about DJI, i thought wow, more great stuff to buyif the motors do turn out to be more powerful then they may also reduce battery life so that'll be something else for a lot of people on this forum to moan and groan about.
3 months ago GPS mode was 23 m/p sec and is now 17 m/p sec.ATTI would give me with no problem 28 m/p sec.Have tested this with latest FW upgrade and now reaching hardly 24 m/p sec in ATTI.This is all tested with different windspeeds.I flew mine in atti mode a few days ago with latest fw the exact same speed i flew 6 mo ago.
Am I correct in understanding that all new Inspire 1 purchased are to have these motors as standard?
New owners get better motors than previous Inspire owners!!! A joke I am sure you will agree. Way to go DJI.

Apparently Inspire 1 is now being offered with a new propulsion and prop mounting /locking mechanism. The new motors are now sporting 70KV more than the current version. Wandering if this a useful upgrade just for the 1 Pro owners due to higher weight of the X5, if it's retrofittable to the standard I1 and if this is really not affecting real life battery performance as stated in the announcement.

Excellent perspective. The higher end technology arena is an expensive "sport". Apple is another good example of technology/marketing upgrades with the cell phones, iPads, etc. However, Apple does have sort of a trade-in path on some products or there is always the ebay or craigslist approach to sell and purchase the newer technology. Provided that the central guts of the I1 stay the same, the DJI dealers should be able to handle the motor upgrades, much as we have done with the P1 & 2s. Warranty, of course, is always an issue but warranties do eventually fate away. No perfect solutions when we are "playing" in these technology games.Maybe it's just me, but I don't see a problem with DJI constantly updating the Inspire.

I'm not the only one with this.
Under normal circumstances it's ok but I really miss it when following races and other fast objects.
Seems to me my Inspire I1 x5 I received 3 weeks ago has the new motors on it? I know those prop locks they show are on my current rig....

I just wrote to dji and the new propulsion system will be released at the end of the month, and the new quick release system will also be available for purchase. Though they could´t tell the exact pricing yet.
