DJI Launches Innovative Mavic Pro Drone, Changing Personal Flight Forever
September 27, 2016 – DJI, a prominent name in unmanned aerial technology, has introduced the revolutionary Mavic Pro—a drone heralded for its portability, power, and user-friendly design. This latest model represents a significant evolution in personal flight, featuring cutting-edge technology nestled within a sleek, foldable body that can fit comfortably in a bag.
With dimensions comparable to that of a water bottle when folded, the Mavic Pro is DJI’s first drone tailored for users eager to enjoy the freedom of flight wherever they go. The quick-launch capability ensures that users can take to the skies with minimal effort, making it a perfect companion for adventurers and content creators alike.
Delivering Unparalleled Performance
The Mavic Pro boasts impressive specifications, featuring a stabilized 4K camera that captures high-resolution images with ease. With a remarkable range of up to 4.3 miles (7 km) and a flight time of 27 minutes, this drone is designed to redefine expectations within the compact drone category.
Frank Wang, CEO and founder of DJI, remarked, “DJI has dedicated a decade to simplifying drone flight for users, and by rethinking the aesthetics and functionalities of drones, we have fostered a new platform for creativity.” Users can now explore the skies effortlessly, gaining fresh perspectives on the world through stunning aerial imagery.
Advanced Technology for Safety and Stability
At the heart of the Mavic Pro lies the sophisticated FlightAutonomy system. This revolutionary technology integrates multiple sensors, including five cameras, GPS, ultrasonic range finders, and 24 powerful computing cores. Together, these elements facilitate precise navigation and obstacle avoidance, making it possible for the drone to effortlessly maneuver in various environments.
The Mavic Pro’s ultra-light construction and state-of-the-art propulsion system empower it to maintain stability even in winds of up to 24 mph (38.5 kph). Additionally, the drone employs DJI’s GEO geofencing features to identify and avoid restricted areas seamlessly, ensuring safe flight operations.
Capturing Stunning Footage
With its small yet versatile design, the Mavic Pro is equipped with DJI’s smallest three-axis gimbal technology, providing remarkably stable footage. The autofocus camera boasts a minimum focusing distance of just 19 inches (0.5 meters), allowing users to flip it into portrait mode for vertical shots and selfies. It records 4K video at 30fps and 1080p HD at a dazzling 96fps, presenting breathtaking aerial views that resonate with both amateur and professional filmmakers.
Enhanced User Experience
The Mavic Pro also comes with a new compact remote controller designed to enhance user comfort and experience. The integrated LCD screen offers essential telemetry data, while the OcuSync video transmission technology ensures a stable live view at distances up to 4.3 miles (7 km) with resolutions reaching 1080p.
Moreover, the Mavic Pro’s intuitive features cater to both novice pilots and experienced flyers. The TapFly mode allows users to redirect the drone using their phones, while Gesture mode enables hands-free selfies through simple hand signals. Advanced tracking modes, such as ActiveTrack, can recognize and follow various subjects, ensuring that filmmakers keep the focus on their subjects easily.
Experience the Flight like Never Before
DJI’s new immersive DJI Goggles can be paired with the Mavic Pro, providing a stunning first-person view with minimal lag. These goggles allow users to switch between the traditional third-person view and an immersive FPV experience effortlessly.
