[QUOTE="Hotwire, post: 94542, member: 505"] The hobby industry is such a fickle game. Consumer drones have had a huge decline in sale in the last two quarters and that is what DJI are concerned about. Return on investment will be poor for this side of the market from now on. It would be likely that a core product like the Phantom will be the only line left in 2 years. Mainly because it has industrial application and the price point can remain high. GoPro are on a race to bankruptcy and Osmo sport just can't do well. The camera industry has been hit by the iPhone and Samsung phones, so the little niche for aerial or action imagery will get fierce. Spark is good for the price but the hobby drone cameras like the Cadxx Tarsier, are now 4K. This will render Spark over priced, which equals zero profit. ie Spark 2 will certainly be the end of the line even if Spark 1 isn't already. [/QUOTE]
