Hopefully a Mavic Pro @ below $1500 with a 1inch sensor. Orangenz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One inch sensor would require a larger camera and lens, thus bigger motors and gimbal to handle the load with higher ground clearance and larger vibration dampening system (=higher skids, bigger battery to handle the front heavy CG, etc.). There no free meal. I'm not sure that you can design a compact drone like the Mavic with a one inch sensor. The Typhoon Plus is interesting, the main point of this drone is redundancy. Thanks to it's 6 motors, the Typhoon can withstand a single propeller, ESC, or motor failure whereas any quadcopter would spin-crash to death in case of prop/motor failure (note: the Inspire 2 has ESC redundancy). Unfortunately I doubt that Autel and Walkera can shake DJI technological and commercial advantage. Autel is facing DJI lawsuit and they announced drones in the past that failed to materialized (X-Star 3 & Venture II). They are lagging in terms of technology. Their RC link are way behind DJI lightbrige and ocusync digital links. The Typhoon plus is based on a classical PX4 flight controller. DJI owns the market. The pathetic attempts like the 3DR Solo and the GoPro Karma have been commercial failures. DJI will probably announce a new Phantom or an updated Mavic (higher bitrate, etc.). Perhaps a new Osmo or X7 compatibility. Orangenz and sanveer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangenz Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 The footage of it (not from it) had it wobbling all over the place despite it being inside. The DJI drones, by contrast, looked like they were on tripods they were so steady. Curious to know if this was just the tracking mode issue or a real stability difference. Also the object avoidance was demonstrated by him walking up to the drone and stopping. ?? Such a dodgy demonstration. The most entertaining part of the whole thing was when the drone in the background area got stuck high up in the net - that was worth seeing.

ntblowz Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Man somehow this thread went from DJI killer to new DJI announcement participation thread Having said that I am eagerly await what DJI will come out with! If they can fix the 50/60p quality issue and add 4k60 while being lighter/smaller than mavic I am all in! Orangenz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like anyone says the word Drone anywhere in the world, and DJI introduces a new camera. Andrew Reid could you Please create a New Thread/ Article on the 3 Drones we want DJI to make, at 3 Price Points (maybe at $999, $1999, $2999) with Features outlined for Each Price point. We could maybe have a discussion on it and take it forward. They could include the 1/2.3" sensor with like 100mbps H.265 codec, a 1" sensor drone and another higher lineup. Btw the Tagline "Adventure Unfolds" perhaps hints at some kind of sports featured drone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the minutes of flight. How about a drone that does what the Fraudulent/ Scam Lily Drone promised. Doing underwater and in the sky, without changing anything. That would be a first. And like a 1 hour flight time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw some Chinese guy hacked the camera on the Hubsan and changed it with a much higher res model. And i think the module was available ovet the shelf for like $10 or $20.

It's a policy decision to ensure broader acceptance of drones. . There is a polar division among many people who have drones and those who don't have drones. The ones not having them, constantly arguing about banning drones. With a wider acceptance, more people will probably be on their side. Otherwise, if they keep it a prime product segment. There might be so many anti-drone laws, that could just kill the entire industry as a whole and limit it to a very specialized permit-based segment.

Germy1979 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I just wish they’d make a straight forward cine cam with the X7 that doesn’t need a drone attached to it. Love that image. Cinegain and IronFilm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Back to the EVO.......it has a (typical) 1/2.3" sensor. They also had one at CES that had a 1" sensor-but that was just a prototype, and may well never happen. IF they had one with a 1" sensor that also had a MECHANICAL shutter (and variable aperture) in a foldable drone, THEN they would have something. Like the same camera as on a Phantom 4 Pro for instance. Autel has a history of BAD follow through. They have made promises and not kept them, in the past. So I will believe it when I actually see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
