Still looks to be a 2 axis gimbal from the images. If so its a bit of a missed opportunity

looks like what we all wanted! Does anyone know the release date and price yet?

Wow that is good news! Did not expect them to be that fast with a new version. Have not had time to read the whole description yet but it sounds like they came up with a great improvement and finally a real competitor to DJI in that size.

That was about time! DJI need more competition to please the customers.

Is the new Mantis G ($699) competitive with the Mavic Air ($799), based on the specs? I haven't looked, but what has changed besides the gimbal? I think the Mavic Air still has a better gimbal? Yuneec needs to make sure they are offering a truly competitive alternative to DJI.

Be nice if they upgraded the H+ firmware to allow waypoint mapping (beyond the CCC).

I think you're right. From the YuneecUSA site:

I think they have electronic stabilization on the third axis like the Parrot Anafi which works extremely well. The Mantis G has much better flight time than the Air and of course the batteries will be cheaper.
