DJI Ronin only USD 2,999 launch pride!


Anyone bought stuff from Singahobby before? They are bringing in the Ronin but not sure if its safe to buy from them
 

'Safe' in what sense?
 

As in they have an online shop where you can buy the Ronin. So i am worried about what happens after i buy it from the online shop and they are not able to get the stocks. Another option is to go down to the store but it seems that i need to place a deposit before they place the order for me. Or maybe i am worrying too much? lol
 

Singahobby sells RC stuff in singapore for quite a long time already. The only thing is nobody knows how reliable they are when we talk about After Sales Service.

DJI products are mass produced so there will be incidents where u get a lemon. Its only the situation where u need them to ship it back for you to settle it in your behalf.

Maybe we should ask if anyone has any problems dealing with Singahobby especially in their DJI phantoms which is one of their top sales products.
 

Ah, I see. Singahobby is listed as an authorized dealer on the DJI website, so I don't think you have to be worried about them being unable to fulfil your order. The questions I'd ask them are that if you put down the deposit today 1) Where would you be in the preorder queue 2) When's the expected shipment. E.g., Will you be able to get your unit in the first shipment, or second batch because there are X number of people ahead of you, etc.

Anyway, here's an interesting post on the price drop by Willis Chung, Marketing Manager at DJI:

Dear fellow Redusers,
As of July 16th, 2014, I'm sure you've all noticed that the price has decreased tremendously from $4,499 to $2,999.

I'm sure you're all wondering, "Why would you decrease the price???" I asked the same thing! Is there going to be a compensation in quality? Is it because we didn't sell enough? Fortunately, the answer to those questions are, no.

The quality will only get better, not only through hardware, but also through the ability to update the firmware.

The Ronin had an introduction at NAB 2014, we made a short film introducing its capabilities of holding 16 pounds of industry standard fully loaded Red Dragon setup on many different platforms all in one shot.

So, why? Why did the price diminish that much?
Well, we were originally expecting monthly orders of potentially 200, instead we got way over that worldwide, enough for us to turn down more pre-orders of the first month, and enough for DJI to manufacture the Ronins on a high quantity level, which ultimately resulted in much lower price of material.

Knowing and speaking to the Ronin Sales Manager as well as Paul Pan, the Product Manager behind the product, getting the Ronin in the hands of both industry professionals and indie amateurs shouldn't be a challenge, everybody should be able to afford the smooth shots of the 21st century.
