Has anyone ever searched the phantompilots or inspirepilots forums for posts by derstig. I searched both and found none. This means he either posts on DJI forums under a different name or he really is the loser we all believe him to be and only posts positive DJI BS to Yuneec forums while bashing everything Yuneec. I guessing it's the latter.
This guy and others like him are, I suspect, part of DJI's strategic marketing scheme. He might be paid, he might not be. He might be just what you said, Brian, a loser DJI fanboy who simply likes to troll the Yuneec forums and stir the pot. Either way, it plays neatly into DJI's overall marketing plan to create an aura of supremacy over the competition. It is classic big gorilla marketing tactics to use your superior resources to whip up an army of disciples and have them decimate your main competition with a constant stream of negative propaganda, misinformation and innuendo. Get some "journalists" on YouTube in your pocket and have them post what appear to be unbiased reviews and comparisons that somehow end up as negative commentaries about the competition. It's so easy today to engineer a negative campaign.
Yuneec doesn't have to sink to that level to survive and prosper, and they'd lose if they tried. One reason to stay with Yuneec is that they aren't doing that. But in my opinion they need a marketing plan designed to produce a stream of positive news based on visible progress. Highlight the strengths of the H, particularly the ability to add features, new cameras and accessories down the road. Release some hints about what's coming and what's being developed. Produce a lot of small wins that create a sense of progress and purpose. A good counter punch would be to develop more than one strategic partner (aside from Intel) on a significant cutting edge tech/app such as an Augmented Reality partnership with
Microsoft or
Meta or
Google or
ODG. Right now, we're guessing about what they might or might not do next week or next year, while the sound of crickets chirping coming from Yuneec HQ is deafening and the negative propaganda generated by DJI is rampant. The goal is not to defeat DJI but simply to build market share with a solid suite of products and a solid stream of positive marketing so we can all continue to enjoy flying a great UAS.
This is all just my opinion, of course. I could be wrong.
