Maybe someone can claim they found a cure for cancer and advertise it in China. Then a few months later there will be millions of cures for cancer for half the cost available to everyone in the world!
I hate cloners, except Kloner, he's a cool guy. But this F U guy? These guys feel it is perfectly ok to thrive off of others ideas and innovations. Although i don't subscribe to DJI I appreciate their investments and efforts. For anyone to be able to copy an idea without repercussion is a serious issue. China is notorious for this. And then we buy it! I'm not for monopolies but there has to be a way of protecting an idea without patents as they clearly dont prevent China from copying anything and everything.

even some U.S companies take the clones from china and say it's there own like on the esc front at least. i dig dji on the design front always pushing but at the same time the difference between the kraken and the s1000 is quite large imo so shouldn't be a problem for dji. i swear though sometimes the clones are out before the originals china must of invented a time machine.lol

Certainly is an innovative device, but I can see we are going to have to shell out for v.2 GCU's for the Zenmuse which will offer an HDMI thru-port in order to keep wiring tidy.
A large degree of care will be required to keep all those mini jack connectors from the Trainer Port tidy. Wouldn't want one of those to come apart mid-flight and lose all control. Compact HD wireless transmission is a hot cookie right now and DJI are definitely on the ball with this system - particularly as it apparently offers much better range than the Paralinx/Terradek options. I wonder how the HDMI video signal will compare though. It has to be severely compressed.

can you use the xt60 on bottom of the bottom frame lol to power the pmu instead? Reason for asking is because i want to mount pmu in a different location for better C.G.

Blade Strike,
Did you have any issues plugging your escs into the central frame? I just got mine so excited to fly it but can't connect four of the eight motors because how tight the o.d. of the bullets in the center board?

I just received my DJI S1000 Premium. I thought I would share some photos of the build process. As you would expect and you should, the build quality is second to none. This is a complete new octo from the ground up. The S1000 V type design provides large amounts of thrust while improving power efficiency. I'm really excited to see the use of cf arms versus the plastic arms of the past. The most exciting part of this frame in my opinion is the folding capabilities. It makes transportation and storage a breeze for such a large frame. The locking system only takes a few seconds to fold or unfold, such a outstanding design. The S1000 comes about 80% complete, so the build process is very straight forward and FAST.

This connector is extremely difficult to put into the center frame, other than that issue which I still haven't resolved my s1000 is a beast!

Try heating the bullets with a heat gun. Don't overdo it though.

Getting a constant beeping noise from the motors, does anyone know what could be wrong? I double checked all wires, all seem good..

Sorry I didn't reply sooner.. No, I didn't have to much of an issue with the motor wires. Let us know how it goes.

I just did the assembly last night of the 1000. No issues on the motor connection to the main power board. The only issue I ran across was the insertion of the landing gear tube into the box on the foot. When the kit arrived, I found that someone at DJI had inserted the retaining clamp screw into the box and then tightened it all the way down with no carbon tube inserted. That deformed the box to the point that the carbon tube would not fit. I had to take a small flat bladed screw driver and pry the box apart so the tube would fit.
Of course doing this shaves off small slivers of the thin walled aluminum box, and now it has silver marks showing. I was able to get some black paint and cover them up so that at a couple feet away they aren't visible, but that shouldn't be that way. I haven't decided yet whether to get back for replacement landing gear legs yet.
BTW, what size packs is everyone using, as well as what brand.
