We're used to seeing nothing but drones out of DJI, but every once and a while, it's been known to shake things up a bit. Today it's doing just that by announcing the Osmo Pocket, a new mini camera that seems perfectly poised to take on smartphone cameras. As DJI fans can probably already tell by the name alone, the main feature here is stabilization, as the Osmo Pocket comes equipped with a 3-axis gimbal.
Back in August, DJI introduced its new Mavic 2 line of drones, which at the time consisted of the Mavic 2 Pro and the Mavic 2 Zoom. Both of the drones are marketed toward end users of all varieties, but today, DJI is expanding the Mavic 2 line with a drone that's made specifically with commercial applications in mind. That drone is the Mavic 2 Enterprise, and aside from the somewhat uninspired name, it sounds like a pretty capable machine.
There's a new set of DJI Mavic 2 drones out in detail this morning, and right here we're talking about the ZOOM. There's also a DJI Mavic 2 and a DJI Mavic 2 Pro. The latter of those two, the Pro, was also just revealed in full this morning. Here we're taking a peek at the specs of the Mavic 2 Zoom, what DJI is positioning as the most versatile of the bunch.
DJI is currently hosting an event in New York, and as expected, the company has revealed its next consumer drones. DJI pulled the veil off the Mavic 2 Pro today, almost two years after it introduced the first Mavic Pro. DJI product communication lead Michael Oldenburg said that the company's creative team has spent much of these last two years working with users to figure out what they would like to see in a follow up.
DJI's two new drones have leaked again, with high-resolution images of the DJI Mavic 2 models breaking cover early. The drone-maker is expected to take the wraps off the two new flying cameras in an event in New York City later this week.
The follow-up to DJI's flagship Mavic drone has been a bit of an open secret recently, but it seems the early release of an advertisement has revealed the last remaining details. The newest issue of the UK catalog Argos has spilled the beans on almost everything except the pricing, and drone fans have been quick to share the ad online. The biggest surprise is that the Mavic 2 will come in two distinct models, Pro and Zoom.
DJI's newest - and unannounced - drone, the DJI Mavic 2, has leaked, giving a sneak preview of the sleeker UAV. The new drone could indicate a split of the Pro line, with DJI potentially leaving room for an even more capable version, though there's still plenty to like in what we've seen of this model.
DJI has announced a new partnership with Axon, a connected law enforcement technologies company. Under the partnership, DJI drones will be sold directly to police departments and public safety agencies across the world. The sales will be performed under the new Axon air program through which agencies are provided with video-capable UAVs.
Forget drones: DJI's Ronin-S was the company's hit announcement back at CES 2018, and the single-handed gimbal stabilizer is finally headed to stores. Designed to mount heavier DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, it promises the same stabilization as its existing models offer for smartphones, but with some pro-user advantages.
DJI has launched a modest update to its professional-tier Phantom 4 Pro drone. The new model, which is simply called the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0, brings a couple updates over the previous model, retaining the same design as the regular Pro 4, but with some important changes. The drone is available now with various bundle options, including one that has first-person-view DJI Goggles.
DJI is about to release a firmware update for the Zenmuse X7 drone camera that adds support for the Apple ProRes RAW standard. The move helps position the Zenmuse camera as a serious option for filmmakers and other creatives who need the camera for content creation rather than surveillance or surveying. According to DJI, its Zenmuse X7 is the first Super35 digital camera designed specifically for aerial photography.
DJI is making it difficult for drone owners to fly their UAVs during the 2018 Winter Olympics Games. Such drone use is forbidden during the Games, but that's not likely to stop everyone from trying to sneak a couple aerial shots or videos. Though Olympics security officials have their own plans in place to deal with unwanted consumer drones, DJI is planning to release a software update that will put the brakes on usage near the facilities.
