Not much is revealed, but does tease at least one additional lens-based sensor, so we can expect more sophisticated object avoidance ...

The DJI Phantom 3 Advanced is on sale at B&H Photo for $799 ($200 off), which is a ridiculously low price. The Amazon (Prime) price is $849 shipped, which is also a great deal. It’s likely that these sale prices are a result of the Phantom 3 4K being announced and a plan to phase ...

It’s hard to beat DJI’s Black Friday sale. Until November 30, a Phantom 3 Professional w/extra battery is on sale for $1,159, and Phantom 3 Standard is $599! The extra battery retails at $149, making a P3 Pro w/extra battery normally cost $1408. Meanwhile, Amazon is selling the P3 Pro for $1,129, and an extra battery ...

The Spinido DJI Battery dock for Phantom 2 and 3 looks like it could be a great accessory for Phantom owners.

Both this battery dock and the DJI one ...

At Drone World Expo this week, DJI’s VP of Policy and Legal Affairs, Brendan Schulman, made an presentation about DJI’s new GEO geofencing system. It looks like a huge leap forward, and will allow operators to override geofencing information once an accountability trail is established. (Source: https://player.vimeo.com/)

A month ago, at WSJ.D Live, seven autonomous DJI Phantom 3 quadcopters lifted off the ground and performed a drone ballet, arranging themselves in patterns to music. Spark Aerial were the technical wizards behind the show, using DJI’s SDK to control the small swarm of Phantoms. Swarming quadcopters isn’t new, but prior examples of drone swarming ...
