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.

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.

Inspire series of DJI unmanned aerial vehicles of the second generation - Inspire 2 (Ⅰ)

After a large number of user-verified computer vision, ultra-high rate of Zen air camera, can accelerate to 108 kilometers per hour "violent" motor together with the redundant concept to achieve the ultimate dual-battery design, destined to Inspire 2 is not a Ordinary players of the "unmanned toys".

Can not afford to always take a look, in this article, the love of children will be unreservedly presented Inspire2 unmanned aerial view of the big picture, and the price of 54,000 yuan unmanned aerial vehicle presents what kind of machine beauty of.

As a professional aerial unmanned aerial vehicles, Inspire 2 the volume of natural before we tested consumer-level aerial unmanned aerial vehicles can not be compared. Inspire1 wheelbase 559 to 581 mm (different flight mode), and Inspire2 landing mode wheelbase of 605 mm, more generous than the generation of body.

Large size and richer random accessories makes the Inspire2 the box size is very impressive, and some professional-level photographic equipment, the safety box together and not too much sense of violation. The huge volume in exchange for a very considerable load capacity. The Inspire2, which comes with the iFAN (micro-signal: ifanr), contains four smart batteries, an Inspire2 body, two aerial cameras (X4S / X5S), a charge steward, a remote control, and a charger , CINESSD memory card and other accessories. Taking into account the independent price of 1699 yuan for this box, loading capacity is also a bit as it should be.

the UAV can easily be used by the vast majority of enterprises

DJI has introduced technological innovations into the popular Phantom series of existing UAVs and has become the mainstream. Today, the latest UAV model not only improves the stability of the gyroscope, the flight time is three times before, but the cost is only 1,000 US dollars.

In short, regardless of its cost or hardware, make the UAV can easily be used by the vast majority of enterprises. The turning point, however, is that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) passed the Part 107 Act in June this year, and now anyone with a web-based license can operate a commercial unmanned aerial vehicle, previously only available to a driver's license, And high, operation and laborious.

The current mainstream business applications for UAVs increasingly widespread, but the layman is difficult to touch the doorway. Intel has just released a design for industrial design of unmanned aerial vehicles, such as can be used for construction sites or field survey; oil and gas companies to ensure drilling safety and maintenance of unmanned aerial vehicles; and Amazon also tried to unmanned aerial vehicles Delivery business.

Companies that sell seed to the agricultural market provide the farmer with unmanned aerial vehicles free of charge and train them to take care of the crops with unmanned aircraft. UPS recently used unmanned aerial vehicles to deliver drugs to an island near Boston. I have recently talked to a company that has drawn maps of the freeways in Mexico and identified the roads that need to be patched. Previously, the satellite image pixel is not clear enough, while the car image rendering and takes a long time, but the UAV can be completed within a few days of this project.

UAVs can also be widely used in other areas, whether insurance companies assess the loss of crops due to hail, or the city used to detect heavy rainfall during the groundwater level.

The emerging DJI enterprise market creates an ecosystem to support its own development. UAVs have emerged as consultants for companies that require unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and can be seen as Uber in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). For example, companies can contract with UAV operators to perform remote device tests without having to take the risk of overhauling or hiring full-time staff to do the job.
