DJI opened its new Shenzhen, China headquarters it calls "Sky City" this past September, but just this week released a fly-through style video that takes viewers on a tour of the massive new complex.
DJI is known for innovating and pushing the drone market forward, but with the Avata, the company is instead doing the opposite and paring down features into a drone that works best for an entry-level pilot.
DJI has announced its latest drone: the Avata. Where the DJI FPV brought the first-person-view experience to DJI fans, the Avata takes that idea and democratizes it for the masses.
The DJI FPV was the first to bring first-person view (FPV) drones to the masses as a great entry-level, all-in-one package. GoPro seems to be targeting more serious drone pilots with the Hero10 Black Bones, its no-compromises 5K FPV camera.
If you watched the news or were connected to the internet the first week of June, chances are good that you have seen a video of a drone crashing into an erupting volcano. Well, that drone was mine and it got completely disintegrated. In my latest video, I share what it is like to fly a drone around a volcano and what you have to look out for.
Photographer and filmmaker Joey Helms ventured to Iceland in order to capture footage of the volcanic eruption there. During a pass over the mouth of the volcano, his DJI FPV was swallowed by lava and lost forever.
Filmmaker and drone pilot Jay Christiensen of Minnesota-based Rally Studios became a near-overnight viral sensation when he published a video of a bowling alley that took the idea of a scripted single shot to another level. Since then, he's published two more amazing videos of other impressive spaces.
Photographer and filmmaker Daniel Haussmann recently joined the crowds enjoying the incredible volcanic eruption in Iceland and captured it using a mix of his DJI FPV, Mavic 2 Pro, and Mavic Air 2. During one sequence, his FPV drone is struck by a flying piece of lava, sending it tumbling through the air.
While up-close photos taken of Iceland's erupting volcano are impressive, some footage captured by a drone is equally stunning.
FPV (first-person view) drones have been typically only used by racing and acrobatics circles, but this video from filmmaker and drone pilot Jay Christensen of the Minnesota-based Rally Studios shows the incredible possibilities when FPV meets creative professional.
When I first heard DJI was bringing the FPV drone to market, I was excited but also a bit skeptical. Even though DJI's history in the consumer drone market is second to none, the company's offerings to the FPV market are a bit of a mixed bag coming from the perspective of a pilot from the racing and freestyle scene.
DJI has announced the FPV, a new type of drone for the company that is made specifically for the first-person, high-speed flight experience found in racing with pointed adjustments to make the experience a step up from the conventional options.
