Do you remember that the frist products of Xiaomi drones were released in May last year? There were two version 1080p and 4k were issued, then you have found that 1080p is alway on the market but 4k version lack of unlisted.
Why so late? The main reason is that the camera of the 4K version uses a Sony’s back-illuminated CMOS sensor. The earthquake in Kumamoto Japan had a great impact on the supply of Sony. Flymi has accepted to line up until July in order to get sufficient amounts of these sensor chips. So naturally the release date will be delayed.
