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.

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.

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.

Intelligent follow function to the second generation

The Inspire 2's Smart Follow function was upgraded to the second generation. This generation of intelligent follow-up can not only identify and track the subject as much as possible, but more importantly in the follow-up process, the nose can move in the direction of flight in real time, and can keep moving synchronously on the side of the subject, Take. The second generation of intelligent follow-up function of practicality and ease of use looks Mavic Pro and Phantom 4 to follow the powerful version of a lot.

In addition, Inspire 2 also adds the Spotlight Pro mode, which takes full advantage of the 360 ° pan / tilt system, which keeps the camera facing the selected object, regardless of where the UAV goes.

Pointing the flight there is a slight upgrade, pointing the object into a FPV camera screen goal.

The real commercial value of the UAV (Ⅱ)

This model of employment of UAVs is critical to the growth of the enterprise UAV market. No one has ever counted the number of such services, but there is no doubt that there are already tens of thousands.

Earlier, such as DJI and other companies of the existing hardware solutions can not be used by enterprises. As a result, companies like Airware and Kespry, which built their own software ecosystem and built hardware, provided services to companies. Recently the situation has changed. UAV market changes are the fastest growing companies DroneDeploy, Skycatch and Propeller, but they only focus on software.

These companies only need to focus on software, software vendors and growing, so that these companies benefit. As the smart phone industry, the trend of commercialization of hardware gradually receded, only use their own UAV hardware is not worth promoting. The next generation of unmanned aerial vehicle software, the more promising several categories is the management of unmanned aircraft flight, the legitimacy of flight behavior and real-time data analysis and processing.

The media always like to tell some of the future story - UAV in the city shuttle, blotting out the sun. Although the scene is not impossible, but its real to achieve a certain distance. Millions of unmanned aerial vehicles have been put into use, they create value in the enterprise, as well as to create the results, the media is rarely reported. To know from the cost terms, before it is impossible to achieve.

UAVs have already had a real impact on many industries and have changed businesses in silence. Just as IP-based phones are hot all over the world overnight, unmanned aerial vehicles will also enter every aspect of our lives.

A variety of enhanced accessories: support for automatic operations, improve work efficiency （Ⅰ）

DJI for the MG-1S is equipped with a powerful and comprehensive accessories. Built-in GPS system with a professional remote control, MG-1S can achieve all-weather autonomy operation, greatly improving the operating efficiency, reducing the labor intensity of the flying hand.
