That sounds more feasible Dom.
Talking of packaged FC's. One of my Phantoms now has a Pixhawk and is flying really nice on 3.2.

From what I see so far the Insight does have a few surprises. The first one that caught my eye however was why did they stay with that awful fisheye lens. It just means more work in post to get rid of it. Been using a couple of Phantom 2+ for a while now and they both had better motors installed and use the three bladed eflight props which was a major improvement Also changed the lenses to 6mm.

correction Denny, the V2 Phantoms (Phantom 2 and Phantom 2 Vision + latest revision)
has better motors (more efficient and higher quality)
better compass (or at least the enclosure)
improved radio with trainer port and relocated camera pitch control (and better quality)
and also more aggressive propellers and stiffer.

As for the DJI Transformer Insignt-1 stay tuned for some nice surprises. Sure there will be things we would have done differently, things not dialed in to perfection but I believe in pushing boundaries and this model will do that.
DJI is taking risks and this is good for the evolution of the hobby and overall technology.
I think I see what is going on here. The motors probably run at constant speed and in the same direction. The the lift value changes as the vee is changed i.e. the greater the angle the less vertical component. The yaw is directed by the fore and aft opposite tilt rotations. The bank would have to come from a lower C o G below the frame so that both arms could move in the same direction. A kind of electronic pendulum.
Just a wild guess.....

My local dealer in Cyp. has had a new version Phantom for a few days. It seems to be like the old one only with bigger props.
I would assume this is based off China time as thats where they are based, that will make it approx 9 AM in China
This is the official live stream announcement
Looking at the patent mechanism, this is certainly not a folding mechanism (and logically it would be stupid to do so in a such complicated way). It rather looks to me to be a system that allows to modify the angle of the arms in an opposite complementary angle: when one raises, the other goes down.
Now, what would be the use of that? In a forward flight, it allows to maintain constant thrust (avoid the descend effect we see on arducopter when flying fast forward which forces to increase throttle to maintain altitude). However this must not be it as the mechanism séems to act on the roll axis!?
