DJI Inspire 2

As previously leaked spy photos, the big DJI not only to the Inspire 2 has been added in the Phantom 4 and Mavic Pro on the front of the binocular obstacle avoidance camera, Inspire 2 body also joined the top of the infrared sensing system. The system can sense the maximum distance of 5 meters from the aircraft's large size, diffuse reflection obstacles.

Why do you need a top obstacle avoidance? The reason is that the DJI obstacle avoidance algorithm finds that the aircraft in the face of the front obstacles may choose to rise up bypass, the existence of the top obstacle avoidance sensor can avoid the aircraft in the rise of fried machine.

In addition to obstacle avoidance, Inspire 2 also has a stronger sense of the environment, in the intelligent return process, the aircraft can build real-time map according to the environment, select the optimal route back, and has up to 300 meters of obstacle sensing. The front-access camera has a working range that is approximately the same as the Mavic Pro and can sense up to 30 meters of obstructions.

DJI Phantom 4

DJI phantom 4 elegant appearance of the streamlined, plus integrated PTZ design, and quick demolition of the propeller, so that disassembly more convenient, more stable lock, for the fierce flight to provide security. Not only increased the battery life, but also increased the speed of flight. To 20 meters per second (72 kilometers per hour) to maintain high-speed flight, the operation more agile, more fun experience.

The new Phantom 4 will be able to say is a cross-era of unmanned aerial vehicle products, brings together a number of black technology, people shines. The introduction of "computer vision" and "machine learning" technology has made consumer-level UAVs more intelligent, thinking and learning, and more user-friendly. "Smart tracking" is one of the biggest embodiment of the previous generation to rely on remote control on the GPS positioning different, we control the UAV, no longer need to mention the remote control around running, by manipulating Phantom 4 mobile phone or iPad, select After the object to be tracked, the 3D stereo image is calculated by 5 images (camera, 2 visual positioning, 2 obstacle avoidance) sensors on the UAV, and the smooth trajectory shooting is selected. In actual flight, the Phantom 4 with the T stage models back and forth in the pace of the model, or irregular running, always maintain a fixed distance, the camera lens is firmly locked in the object to be followed.

DJI Mavic Pro

Mavic Pro's fuselage design and may be the flagship model Phantom DJI completely different, but both in the parts and software above has a lot of similarities. They all use the face down optical flow sensor, you can view the situation on the ground in order to stabilize itself in flight, even in the weak wind. The optical flow sensor also allows Mavic Pro to maintain its position indoors without GPS signals. In addition, Mavic Pro is designed for indoor or narrow space flight provides a "tripod mode."

Mavic Pro camera and PTZ are also very similar to the Phantom, but smaller. Its camera uses the same sensor, can shoot 4k video and 12 million pixel still images, but the field of vision is not as big as Phantom. However, Mavic Pro does have the same front optical sensor as the Phantom 4, which detects obstacles and automatically avoids collisions. At the same time, it can also use computer vision technology to achieve gesture control. You can wave him to follow you, or use his hands than a frame to let him take pictures.

Mavic Pro's camera system is slightly different from the Phantom in focus mode. The latter's autofocus feature ensures that the image is clear, but the subject it shoots may not be what you want. Mavic Pro requires you to manually control the focus, this operation may be slightly cumbersome, but as long as you remember when shooting focus, then you can get the same clear and smooth images of Phantom.

10 Ways Drones Are Changing Your World

Drones have been a hot topic in the news for some time. Depending on what you’ve read, they’re devastatingly effective weapons of war, the next big threat to personal privacy, a revolutionary leap in video technology, or hazardous toys capable of chopping your fingers off.To be fair, there’s a measure of truth to all those statements. But you might be surprised to learn that drones will soon affect our everyday lives in a host of useful ways. People are already using them to deliver fast food to hungry teens in Virginia, improve the productivity of Midwestern farms, and even protect rhinos and elephants in Africa from poachers.In the next year, almost 2.3 million of the unmanned aircraft will be sold, according to market analysis firm Skylogic Research. And the vast majority will be the multi­rotor models embraced by apple farmers, wedding photographers, and search-and-rescue workers.“This is one of the few technologies that could revolutionize the way the world appears,” says Mark Blanks, who oversees the test site at Virginia Tech University where air-­traffic-­control concerns related to drones are being studied.

In Case You Missed It: Live at DJI Headquarters

I recently visited DJI headquarters to go Behind the Brand of one of the hottest drone makers and OEMs developing tools for filmmakers and video creators.The highlight was definitely the new Mavic Pro. It's is a small yet powerful drone that turns the sky into your creative canvas easily and without worry, helping you make every moment an aerial moment. Its compact size hides a high degree of complexity that makes it one of DJI’s most sophisticated flying cameras ever. Twenty-four high-performance computing cores, an all-new transmission system with a 4.3-mile range, five vision sensors and a 4K camera stabilized by a three-axis mechanical gimbal are at your command with just a push of your thumb or a tap of your finger.
Helping you fly farther.

Inside the Mavic’s pocket-sized remote controller is DJI’s brand-new OcuSync transmission technology, with a range of 4.3 miles and full HD 1080p video streaming.No bumps and scapes.

An unprotected drone could hit obstacles during long-distance flight or when descending from an inadequate height in "Return to Home" mode. The Mavic uses FlightAutonomy technology to sense obstacles up to 49 feet away. It can then bypass these obstacles or brake to hover, reducing accidents even when flying beyond visual range.

DJI Phantom 4 Pro review

DJI’s phantom is often called “the iPhone of drones” — and that’s a fair description. It’s one of the most popular drones on the planet, it’s packed with high-end features and functionality, and the latest models are always at the top of their class. On top of that, DJI also releases new models at a steady rate, packing even better features into a nearly identical form factor. Case in point? The stellar new Phantom 4 Pro.

As an evolution of the original Phantom 4, the Pro boasts a number of small but significant improvements. Many of the original Phantom 4’s design attributes, electronic components, and features have been ported over to the pro model, while others have been upgraded, and a few new features have been added.
The first and most obvious addition is the Pro’s new 5-direction obstacle avoidance system. Whereas the P4 only featured forward facing sense and avoid, the new and improved version has sensors on its front back, left, right, and underside. These sensors actively scan the environment around the drone and allow it to autonomously avoid things like trees, buildings, and anything else you might encounter during flight.

Fox Invades Comic-Con With Drones

Comic-Con, the 2014 iteration of which kicks off Thursday in San Diego, has seen an increasing amount of outlandish stunts over the years — stadiums full of zombies, entire pop-up houses devoted to movies.

But Fox is set to kick it up a notch this year by bringing along a bunch of drones to promote the show 24 — and giving attendees instructions on how to pilot them. (What could possibly go wrong?)

We're told that the drone promotion, revealed exclusively to Mashable, includes lessons from a FAA-licensed drone pilot. Each DJI Phantom Vision 2+ quadrocopter comes equipped with a camera that will record the flight. Participating pilots will be encouraged to share the resulting video on social media.

"Should any drones go missing, we have received reports that Jack Bauer will be in the area to recover them," a Fox rep told us.

The drone flight lessons will be available at Petco Park in downtown San Diego Thursday through Saturday. The whole promotion ties in to the upcoming release of 24: Live Another Day on DVD and Blu-Ray.

The show featured hackers who hijack combat drones — somewhat larger than these quadrocopters — and turn them into terrorist threats. We're hoping attendees won't take matters that far.

DJI Osmo+ Camera Mount Gets Zoom Lens

DJI's Osmo handheld camera stabilization system now comes with integrated zoom up to 7x.DJI tipped 3.5x optical and 2x digital lossless zoom (when shooting at 1080p), which gives it "a focal length ranging from 22mm to 77mm without sacrificing HD quality," the company says. "It is similar to,

but not interchangeable with, the new Zenmuse Z3 zoom camera recently launched for the Inspire 1 drone system.""The Osmo+ opens up entirely new capabilities for creators who love the Osmo's ability to deliver crisp, sharp and detailed handheld imagery," Paul Pan, senior product manager, said in a statement.

DJI Phantom 4 Pro+

DJI has released its latest Phantom drone in two versions. The Phantom 4 Pro ($1,499) works like previous models, with a remote control that leverages your smartphone or tablet to run the DJI Go app that controls the drone's camera and streams a live video feed. The Phantom 4 Pro+ ($1,799), meanwhile, includes a remote with an integrated Android tablet, but it costs more and the tablet has some drawbacks. The Phantom 4 Pro earns Editors' Choice honors, while the Pro+ stands as a strong option for users who don't own a smartphone, or for production companies that desire an integrated control solution.

Donald Trump says Ivanka treated 'unfairly' by Nordstrom amid more retailers dropping her merchandise

President Donald Trump has come to his daughter Ivanka's defense after the First Daughter's clothing and accessories lines were dropped by Nordstrom last week.
The president tweeted, "My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by Nordstrom" adding "She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!"

More retailers have followed Nordstrom's lead including Neimann Marcus and now TJ Maxx and Marshalls.
According to a note obtained by the New York Times ,T.J. Maxx and Marshalls parent company TJX instructed employees to "not to display Ivanka Trump merchandise separately and to throw away Ivanka Trump signs."
The retailers' decision to stop carrying Ivanka Trump's line came after the "Grab Your Wallet” campaign, which has been calling for a boycott of retailers that carry Ivanka or Donald Trump merchandise. Neiman Marcus took Ivanka merchandise offline late Thursday afternoon as well.
A Nordstrom spokesperson didn't say whether the decision to stop buying the brand was permanent, only that they make buying decisions each season. Nordstrom also said it offers thousands of brands and cuts about 10 percent each year based performance.
