I wonder why there is lots of ego-wars here. Few years ago, i made money from a dji f550 with no gimbal, then i made alot more from a phantom 2 and h3 3d. Then I built a 960 size hexa for my 5d3. Now i still use the P2 for alot of my paid work. And the clients are happy. The I1 pro is a professional rig. It might not be at the same level as a giant X8 quad flying an alexa on a ronin. But it still is a pro gadget. Someone selling I1's services to the masses that would accept its quality would make much more money than someone waiting to sell the super pro quality to the few hollywood grade productions.
Meanwhile, im flying a phantom 3 somewhere in the deserts of Nothern Kenya and making some good money while at it.
