DJI entering the commercial drone market stronger than before

M200 Series have retractable landing gears, so my DJI friend says...

Think around 10K Plus. Seems aimed at industrial use. Not dust proof, but can fly in rain (not completely waterproof).
Seems to be a revamped Inspire 2.

It's IP43 rated, it is dust resistant. The gear does retract. It does share a lot with the Inspire 2. Unlike the Inspire 2, it's not designed for cinematography, but rather for industrial inspection. Think bridges, cell towers, building, etc.. Magnetically shielded as well, which is fairly important when inspecting cell or radio towers.

Sorry, but the first digit would be 5 or 6 to be dust resistant or dustproof. It is rainproof but not water tight.

No redundancy was a mistake they should have made it a hex, no way would I want something at that price with only four motors

Oops, you're correct about the ingress protection (IP) rating. I was thinking back to their FAQ that I was reading a few days ago. It was sandy environments they were talking about, not dust.

Correctly set up and with a good FC there is no need for retractable gear, removing weight, complexity, and a failure point from..
