I have the MI Pad 2 and the language change is simple, handled by the OS natively

range is probably horrible, that controller doesnt even look like it has antennas, and it looks like the entire tings is 100% connected by wifi. looks worse than p3s. there will probably be some people that buy it and then buy $300 range extenders like the p3s
I agree competition is good for the industry. I believe Yuneec has and still giving DJI real competion. I have a P3 and Q500 4K. I find that both have their good and bad. I find I fly the Yuneec more. I have dealing with both companies customer service and Yuneec's is far better than DJI. Right now I am still deciding if I will take the jump to P4 or go with Typhoon H (leaning more towards Typhoon)
I am not sure what you mean by "Beta Test Program"? But if it means what I think it does, you are incorrect. I see videos of the Drone flying around. I see him holding one in his hands. I don't care if they have the casts already to mold the model, or the ones we see are 3D printed (which I seriously doubt looking at the material). However, that to is a Drone. Call it a Beta Drone or something else. It does not matter. What matters is, that there is a Drone.
Are you stuck using the screen built into the controller with the Yuneec models?

At least they are admitting that early adopters will be an 'open beta' program. Unlike some other companies we could mention ....

Read more like a press release than a review.
Poorly written and punctuated.
Yea this is DJI competition, like Huffy is to Trek (bikes).

Ack! The goggles! They do nothing!
What a horrid 'review'. Bad Chinglish. I think this came straight out of Google Translate. Totally superficial (talking about a cheap nylon backpack, really?).
I'm not expecting much for the price. If they can make a 'disposable' 4K drone then they have a market - just as GoPro made a market for a disposable camera with (barely) adequate video specs and Xiomi made their own market with an even more disposable version that was (mostly) adequate.
We'll just have to wait and see.

Max altitude is stated to be 800M, which is over 50% higher than DJI's 500M. I don't believe their 2KM distance capability stated in other propaganda, since it appears to use Wifi for video comm, like everyone else that gets 1KM using WiFi. Their Facebook video states a more believable 1KM, like all other Wifi enabled drones.
The RC can't accommodate an Ipad mini, only a phone. And the holder is in the way of the antennas. This guy in the video says folding them down NOT PARALLEL is the best for distance, which is bogus. You have to angle the antennas down not-parallel to make room for the phone. This is really a bad design for the smart device. This buy itself is a good reason not to buy it. Other features look good. If it had Lightbridge, or something similar INSTEAD OF WIFI, it would be a viable competitor to DJI.
I like the folding landing gear and removable gimbal/camera, pretty cleaver. However, this implies the video antenna is inside the camera, similar to how Yuneec does their RF comm to the RC. It's a small antenna.
This should be able to compete with other WiFi enabled drones, and it should capture market share due to price point at <$400 for 1080P video. That's all I shoot is 1080, even though I have 4K capability. The DJI Phantom P3S is in the same class as this unit, for about $100 more, at $500 with 2.7K video. I expect DJI to drop their price on the Standard to $400 to put the hurt on the MI drone, once it's shipping.
