Enhancing the creative experience further, the Osmo Mobile Silver is complemented by the Zenmuse M1 gimbal, which allows users to attach their smartphones and benefit from advanced stabilization technology reminiscent of the Zenmuse X5 and X5R gimbals. This setup is geared towards those seeking a seamless filming experience, capitalizing on the shooting capabilities of a smartphone without sacrificing original hardware.
Celebrating Tradition with the Phantom 4 Chinese New Year Edition
In honor of the Chinese New Year, DJI has introduced a limited edition Phantom 4 drone adorned with a unique design by acclaimed illustrator Martin Sati. This special version spotlights a striking phoenix motif, symbolizing good luck and joy as depicted in Chinese tradition. The design is further enriched by Sati’s representation of nature’s four basic elements: air, fire, water, and earth.
Despite its aesthetic enhancements, the Phantom 4 Chinese New Year Edition retains the robust technology features that DJI is renowned for. With sophisticated obstacle sensing, detailed ActiveTrack capabilities, and 4K video recording, this drone elevates aerial photography to unprecedented heights. The model ensures up to 28 minutes of flight time, cementing its position as an essential tool for aspiring filmmakers and professionals.
Ground Station Pro Enhances Flight Planning
DJI also rolled out the Ground Station Pro (GS Pro), an iPad app tailored for professional drone operators. GS Pro streamlines complex flight mission planning through a user-friendly interface, making it effective in industries ranging from aerial mapping to precision agriculture. With options for up to 99 waypoints in a single mission and the ability to save and reuse flight plans, DJI aims to provide unparalleled efficiency in various professional sectors.
The app’s features, including a Virtual Fence for enhanced safety, aim to empower operators to achieve critical mission accuracy without compromising on reliability. This cutting-edge tool solidifies DJI’s commitment to supporting professionals across multiple fields with innovative solutions that simplify aerial operations.
CrystalSky Monitor: A Must-Have for Outdoor Imaging
Rounding out the reveal was the CrystalSky monitor, designed specifically for outdoor use with an ultra-bright screen visible even in direct sunlight. Featuring a striking brightness of 2000 cd/m², which is over four times brighter than standard mobile devices, the CrystalSky monitor ensures that camera operators have perfect visibility for fine-tuning their shots.
The device’s compatibility with the DJI GO app facilitates comprehensive control over camera settings and operational parameters. Additionally, the monitor supports up to 4K video output, allowing users to connect to various display devices. Battery efficiency is enhanced by a two-cell 4920 mAh external battery, ensuring longer usage times suitable for extended outdoor shoots.
DJI’s showcase at CES Unveiled heralds a new chapter for the company, demonstrating its dedication to bridging technology with creativity while catering to diverse audiences—from casual creators to seasoned professionals.
