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.

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

The P4 Pro is nearly identical to the original P4 in terms of both design and build quality. It retains the same hull shape as its predecessor, save for a few minor differences where the new sensors are placed. As such, it’s every bit as strong and sturdy as the P4, which remains among the most attractive and drones available.
It’s impressive that DJI has managed to outfit the drone with so many new features, while still maintaining an identical form factor. The additional sensors have been tucked into the drone’s legs, while infrared and optical sensors are fitted into the drone’s left and right sides. Even the camera, which is drastically better than the one found on the original P4, is just a bit larger than it was before. Unless you familiar with DJI’s drones, the P4 and P4 Pro are as good as identical, despite Phantom’s numerous enhancement.

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.

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.

Report: Walmart could start using drones to start delivering things to your house

Amazon and Walmart have been jockeying for position in the battle to be the number one U.S. retailer. Now it looks like they'll take that battle to the skies as Walmart joins the online retailer in a quest to use a legion of drones for product deliveries and pickups.

According to Reuters, which saw a copy of a Walmart's Federal Aviation Administration application for drone use. The application would allow Walmart to use drones at its warehouses and around customers’ homes, and the reports suggests the giant retailer is ready to start flying drones as soon as the FAA settles on its new rules for commercial drone use.

Earlier this month, the FAA unveiled a new set of rules for private drone use that include registering many of the drones with the FAA before consumers start flying them. For commercial drones, which could be used in everything from filming movies to delivering groceries, the FAA has been considering some line-of-sight provisions that could make it virtually impossible for Amazon and now Walmart to use drones in home deliveries.

According to the report, Walmart plans to use drones from DJI to monitor inventories outside their warehouses, deliver packages to customers, many of whom live within five miles of their local Walmart, and to deliver groceries to pick up locations for customers.

DJI is one of the most popular drone makers on the market, with a line of Phantom drones, including the Phantom 3 Standard, which Mashable recently test drove (or flew).

"Drones have a lot of potential to further connect our vast network of stores, distribution centers, fulfillment centers and transportation fleet," Walmart spokesperson Dan Toporek told Reuters.

Of course, no one — not Amazon and not Walmart — is delivering anything by drone until the FAA finalizes its commercial plans, something that won't happen until next year, at the earliest. That's way late for your last-minute Christmas shopping plans, which could reasonably be assisted by drone deliveries.
