DJI Camera Drones, Quadcopters & Gimbals

It’s a cocktail that gives this mid-range drone huge appeal for both hobbyists looking for their first drone and pro photographers who want to give their snaps a new aerial dimension. POWER AND phantom 4 PROTECTIONSpark uses a high energy density LiPo battery for optimal performance. Additionally, Spark’s battery estimates remaining flight time, letting you know when to land in real time.

In the camera view of the DJI Fly app, all you see are trees and grass and more trees. Just like misplaced electronic devices and wearables, as drone operators, we might find ourselves in a situation where we will need to locate a downed DJI drone. Thank goodness for the aforementioned DJI “find my drone” feature, included in quite a few different DJI flight apps. One of the lightest and most versatile drones on the market, the Spark offers a great balance of value and performance for the price tag.

But once you get the hang of it, your flapping wannabe bird is surprisingly maneuverable. The Mini 3 Pro is a joy to fly, and it can stay in the air for an amazing 45 minutes on a single charge using the extended battery—I got around 32 minutes with the standard battery. It flies very well and is surprisingly good at maneuvering in the wind.

DJI has committed to installing airplane and helicopter detectors – known as DJI AirSense – in new consumer drones, as part of a 10-point plan to ensure the world’s skies remain safe in the drone era. Featuring a 1-inch CMOS sensor that can shoot 4K/60fps videos and 20MP photos, the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 grants filmmakers absolute creative freedom.

When shooting Full HD video, 4x lossless zoom gives you a closer view of faraway subjects, making unique scenes more accessible to capture at a distance. This option also helps you maintain a safer distance from buildings, vehicles, animals, and people.

There’s a big gap between the information people think we have on our users and what we actually have on our users,” he adds, when I ask if DJI might at least have sales data on its drones. DJI drone solutions provide project teams with accurate and secure data storage and transmission. By documenting on-site data throughout a project life cycle, contractors can easily track changes and build as-built models that reflect changes in detail. Updates from DJI’s 2020 AirWorks conference, including news about product launches and how drones are transforming the world of work.

The controller looks like an Xbox controller, which is fine, but it lacks any storage space for the removable joysticks like you get with DJI drones. Still, it’s perfectly functional, and Autel’s app will be familiar to anyone who has used a DJI drone. Despite those caveats, the Mini 2 is still a great entry-level drone. It’s fun to fly, shoots 4K video, and packs up smaller than many smartphones. That last bit is key, because the best drone is the one you actually bring with you. At a mere 249 grams, it’s easy to take the Mini 2 everywhere, and you don’t need to register it with the Federal Aviation Administration.
