1. BTW, do you guys hate these clickbait videos presenting a mini5pro? they are all over my feed and is very annoying. Help reporting. https://youtu.be/6e9t8O9ZGpc?si=DTnoiWQZH2DLeqJH

2. Prayers for your wife's upcoming surgery

3. you're a whiny crybaby YouTuber! Joking. You rock man.

4. You're absolutely right about the leakers. A drone hits the market, and almost all the details are already known. Still, the product launch itself remains the highlight. In the influencer era, this is actually the ideal approach: the goal is to get as many people as possible aware that something new is coming soon. The official NDA signatories have an additional role. They are the real beta testers. They play an absolutely crucial role and, of course, have the honor of contributing in a small way to the development. This feedback is extremely important and can also be seen as a pulse check for the product. Here, you need people who know what they’re doing – real social media professionals who understand the importance of their responsibility.

   The other matter isn't as serious as it seems. With the Neo, I noticed something interesting: someone got ahead of Jasper. I also saw the Jasper image myself, without his watermark. You need reach to effectively spread such an initial piece of information. Without Jasper, such info would literally get lost. This became clear with a product from a competing company. There was a leak about the launch of a new drone from Autel Robotics. It was essentially a modified Lite+ with a thermal imaging camera, receiving C1 classification for the European market – a first on the drone market. Yet this leak went unnoticed for about two weeks, until Jasper picked it up. Even then, the spread was sluggish, but it still hit the mark. The product is now on the market, but it's just not a DJI.

   Despite everything, I'm really looking forward to the two new DJI drones. In my view, the Mavic 4 is overdue since the Mavic 3 series has been flying with the same main camera/body. I see the Flip in an entirely different segment. To me, it’s the successor to the RoboMaster TT. And every now and then, speculation can be exciting too…

5. Not to spoil the surprise, but the Vikings aren't going to the Superbowl

6. Russ, well said on everything.

   Prayers for your wife and family with the upcoming surgery

7. How many NDA’s have you signed bro?

8. I have and will more than ever, pray for your wife and you. Since yesterday, I’ve been hearing drips and drabs about the M4. As much as I would love to grab it as soon as it comes out. I’m not. There are so many things I can learn about my M3 drones. I have both the original M3 and the M3 pro. I think that building the hype about the next, best, new, drone drives most of us to get them. I’m just going to pull over and watch it unfold. Thank you. Your channel is my favorites as it seems your like me. Just regular people. Interested by the same things. Drone On my friend.

9. Thanks!

10. Prayers man!

11. SKOL

12. Prayers for your family

14. 8 minutes and change in before he mentions the new drones. He doesn't know anything, so this is just an 8 minute rant about leaks and NDAs with a clickbait title. We all know that drone makers will be releasing new drones with new features someday soon. That isn't news. Thumbs down for deceptive title.

15. Thank you Russ for all you do for the drone community! Prayers to you and your family.

16. Agree with everything you said, makes sense to me.

17. First and foremost our thoughts and prayers are with your wife for a successful surgery and for your entire family. Regarding your video let me say a few things. The leaks that come out do so with the manufacturers blessing. Someone described it as "smart, free marketing" and I agree. Jasper & Igor & OsitaLV only are sharing with us the information that has been presented to them. The excitement is still there. Viewership on my weekly shows skyrocket when there is news of a new drone. My follow up videos attract a lot of attention. Speculation about pricing, specs, and availability are discussed under the caveat of "our educated guesses based on what we know". Release "parties" if you will continue the excitement on launch day. Unboxing and first flight videos are doing well. All of this excitement is a win for everyone. The two new rumors you talked about are actually on the FCC database so they are real. It's just a matter of time until DJI releases the product. All the best to you and your family.

18. PRAYERS FOR YOUR WIFE AND FAMILY

19. Always appreciate your videos brother. Keep up the good work. Praying for your wife!

20. Youtube is unfortunately saturated with AI generated fake future products.

21. Ok…I can appreciate that it might be annoying that leakers put out information before the pro product reviewers do….BUT…the leakers never post ‘product review level’ videos of a new product…it’s always suspected specs, a few photos, maybe rarely a clip or two. But those are different animals from what early pro reviewers provide. I suppose that it doesn’t seem to me that leakers are taking food out of the bona fide reviewers’ mouths when it comes to views, buzz, etc. Using myself as a case in point, I consume the leak stuff, and then I def consume the early reviewer stuff.

22. I hope your wife's surgery goes well. My thoughts are with you and your family
