it could be 6 looking at the blurry pic, that would explain how its so much smoother than a Phantom

I think they'd want to bear cost in mind, so will stick with a 4 rotor setup. The smoothness could just be down to a better performing gimbal....

its going to be another tough year for GoPro. I really can't see the Karma taking off (pun intended), the drone scene seems to have slowed & DJI still rule the roost. Theirs still supply issues with the Session in the UK (Argos have some in stock now, but Hobby Mounts still don't have any). & no new camera till October

but what can they give?
We've already got [email protected], which not many people have the capability to utilise to its full potential. So higher resolution & fps isn't going to gain anything
image stabilisation & zoom isn't really any benefit for action sports, & hasn't stopped anyone using GoPro's so far
longer battery life would be nice, but again its never really bothered us before. Plus we've got work-arounds like power-packs etc for longer usage
3D isn't popular enough to warrant making a special camera for
so what can they offer?

Thats what we think about all products though - I think the same about my iPhone, but they always pull something out of the bag.
4k60 is a given. 100% sure of that. Although I also don't see the point in it but the newer chipsets can do it now, so its coming.
Personally I'd like to see built in sensors like the Garmin Virb has, as well as some optical stabilisation, Its do-able, nothing new, but would be nice in a GoPro.
What they really need is something completely new though. Something that hasn't really need done by the competition now. What that is, I don't know!

that won't be hard to beat, did you miss the part were he said the drone was linked to the IR camera's that are placed around the top of the cage. Are you going to set-up them everywhere you want to fly?
