This has been known, in the world of extreme Hubsan fans, as the unicorn. We've been waiting for well over a year for its imminent arrival. We've seen pictures of a number of different aircraft as the design has morphed over time. This one actually made it to CES 2015 and appears to be the real deal.
In the U.S.A. it will be sold as the "Hobbico Ora" as Hobbico has purchased licensing rights to market it under their own name, much like Estes sells the Hubsan Q4 as the Estes Proto X. It appears that it will be sold in Europe and Asia as the Hubsan X4 H109 S Pro. They're now saying that it will be released in March 2015, but you can take that with a grain of salt. I've heard prices in the $1,800 range for the full blown aircraft with camera, gimbal, etc... We'll see...

I was talking about the full package, but a spare chute for the phantom would be nice if you could use it. Maybe I'll be able to pick one up when they come out. Gotta get one of the small ones as well just because it's something I feel should be in my collection.

SilentAV8R said:I was fortunate to get about 5 minutes of stick time on the ORA at the AMA Expo. Flying inside a small net cage it was hard to tell much, but I can say that in ATTI mode (no GPS inside) it was stable and yet nimble. Felt very solid and locked in. Frankly made my Phantom feel sloppy. I am definitely going to be in line for one of these. The transmitter is very cool too. Word I got was late March and between $1,500 to $2,000 depending on the level of options/gimbals/camera you want.
For me one HUGE thing is that it uses a conventional 3S 7,000 mAh pack. No special proprietary packs like DJI uses on the Phantom 2 and Inspire.

My third dji phantom 2 battery just failed and I think a fourth is not far behind. I am going for something that doesn't steal my money
Almmohd said:hmm... is it a proprietary battery as well?
