So far we have been shocked, nobody has purchased more than one. Probably closer to Christmas. People will purchase one for someone on their list, and won't be able to resist their own!
$400.00+ is not an inconsiderable amount for a single purchase with the upcoming Christmas season, particularly if you have other people to buy for. Considering MM is targeting the beginner/first-time drone flier, there is a lot of competition for lesser expensive drones that might suffer damage/loss at the hands of an inexperienced pilot. It's alot easier to lose a $200 drone than one costing twice as much. You and I may agree the MM is in a class by itself in terms of flying camera quality, but the uninitiated probably won't know that unless they've carefully researched.
it is 2.7K upscaled to 4K
Likely true. I'm running a 3.7GHz i3 and 8GB SDRAM with Win7. I chased that "upgradeable" phantom for years until I realized itel and AMD will change socket architectures as quickly as changing socks. It'll run what I use most and one day I will probably have to ditch Win7, but that day has not arrived.
I looked at the video again and IMO, if the gimbal is off, it's very slight. The wide angle nature of the lens can lead to some spherical aberration most noticeable at the edges of the frame. I tried to take special notice of things in the middle of the frame that are required to be vertical such as radio towers, church steeples and the like. Gently rising or sloping terrain can confuse the eye into thinking the horizon is level when it's not, particularly with hills and ridges far away. My part of the country is flat, real flat, no significant rising terrain and the ocean is the arbiter of a level horizon.
