"First thing Amazon needs to do, is to design/build light weigh high capacity batteries, just like Tesla is doing for their motors. Not only this will bring them closer to reality but they can have a huge market share for providing high capacity…"

Ben Hayat commented on Joshua Ott's blog post 3D Robotics introduces Iris, a totally ready-to-fly quadcopter UAV with next-gen autopilot
"I hope they change the battery holder that would accommodate for a larger batter like 5000 so we get a better flight time with all the FPV gears.Unless it can hold a bigger batter, I'm not buying one...I hope they're taking this into considerations."

"@Chris A.
Could you please explain why FlySky radio was chosen as the default Radio? I'm not knocking it down, but just for my education.Is this a good radio that can support the features that Iris has (and will have in the future)? Or was it simply…"

Ben Hayat commented on Alan Kharsansky's blog post Be careful with the new DJI landing gear!
"The original arm's design (the bottom) was never intended to handle a hard impact. Although DJI did offer that LG, but the connecting part of the original frame is weak."

Please do and see if it can fit into your Consumer realse deadline. Keep us posted here.
This is a lot like cameras, think of Iris as an equivalent to a top of the line consumer…"
