I'll still keep my P3 for some small jobs but the S1000 will allow me to use my Nikon D800E with a generic gimbal. The small sensor on the P3 works but is limited.
Why not the Inspire with the X5 camera?I'll still keep my P3 for some small jobs but the S1000 will allow me to use my Nikon D800E with a generic gimbal. The small sensor on the P3 works but is limited.
1) because he can use the camera with the optics he already ownsWhy not the Inspire with the X5 camera?

2) because even if the micro four-thirds world have plenty of high quality optics, only a few are supported by the zenmuse Z5 gimbal
Good question. Spent a lot of time thinking about this. The 4/3rds sensor doesn't compare with full frame. I'll admit the X5R is very tempting but I'll still be locked into a 4/3rds camera.Why not the Inspire with the X5 camera?
Is there a gimbal-future for a 24-70/2.8?Other gimbals are available to take my Nikon D800E plus 14-24.
Well nothing compares to full frame but I read very good reviews of the whole 4/3rds world (both sensors and optics).Good question. Spent a lot of time thinking about this.

I agree and disagree with you about this statement that nothing compares to a full frame... It happens actually that the GH4 Panasonic is better in video than a 5D MK III which is maybe the best DSLR around. The 5D is definitely better at stills though, but when it comes to video, the GH4 remains at the top of the shooters, as published in many comparison tests.Well nothing compares to full frame but I read very good reviews of the whole 4/3rds world (both sensors and optics).
Again, going with the S1000 will allow you to bring your camera in the sky so you'll have the maximum quality for sure but:
1) aren't you worried of crashing, and therefore loosing both the (very) expensive craft and the (very) expensive camera?
2) aren't you concerned about loosing the possibilty to tune the camera setting (aperture, focus, shutter speed and so on) while the camera is in the sky? From a photographer perspective, that's a big loss...
Congrats! Excellent idea to choose a gimbal that lets you lifting different cameras, Mine is a Z15 and I'm stuck with the GH4. Sometimes clients may require another camera and it's really a shame to loose a job because of that.Other gimbals are available to take my Nikon D800E plus 14-24.

Going for the S1000 is a big jump from an P3 or even an inspire, you will know soon what stress of crashing it means ... My advice is to get a professional insurance for all your gear, which makes the things a little bit easier.
I have to admit that the DJI App is fantastic and loosing it on the S1000 is a bit frustrating (Same for me with the S900) . I really wish DJI releases something similar for its big birds. The worse loss is the lack of control on the aperture, but we can hope in many cases that the much higher dynamic range compared to a P3 cam will compensate (specially if you can shoot Raw or log). That said I don't have problems with a fixed aperture on the GH4 during flights. I had rarely to land and adjust it.
