Highlights of DJI’s Innovative Features
Exciting advancements in aerial technology are taking to the skies thanks to DJI, the renowned leader in drone innovations. Among their latest features is the retractable landing gear designed for the S800 Hexacopter, which aims to elevate the quality of aerial-filming and photography. This ingenious feature enhances the shooting experience by allowing photographers and videographers to capture seamless 360° footage without any obstructions to the camera lens.
A New Era of Filmmaking
The retractable landing gear operates through a convenient 2-position switch on the radio-controlled transmitter, enabling users to control the gear remotely. This breakthrough not only improves camera angles and perspectives but also empowers creatives to compose extraordinary aerial shots with ease. The feature represents DJI’s commitment to innovation and enhancing user experience, particularly in the realm of aerial cinematography.
