The one-piece remote control is equipped with a 5.5-inch 1080P display with a maximum brightness of 1000 cd/m2. It should be noted that due to changes in the image transmission system, both remote controllers cannot be used in common with previous products, and other common accessories such as batteries, chargers, blades, and blade protection covers are all compatible.

Professional design

Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 continues the classic shape of the Phantom series while updating the electronic governor and propeller. The newly introduced FOC sinusoidal wave-driven electronic governor and the 9455S noise-relief quick-release folding propeller reduce the operating noise; the overall noise measured by the sound level meter is reduced by 4 dB over a distance of one meter, which is equivalent to a 60% reduction in noise power. Try the dji phantom 3 standard battery, which I think is so good to use.

DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 weighs 1375g, 13g lighter than the previous generation of DJI Phantom 4 Pro, with the exact same size, and the diagonal distance is 350mm. At the same time with the new remote control, is divided into no screen version (9999 yuan) and with high-definition screen version (11999 yuan). If you are very interested, I suggest you immediately go to DJI official website to grab it, or I believe that this product will soon be sold out.

This mini selfie drone will be a hot gadget among selfie lovers (part 2)

Two engineers from Calgary, Canada, founded a startup company called Cleo Robotics and created a drone Cleo that resembles a car tire shape. Its promotional slogan is the safest, most portable, most intuitive, and most elegant drone. Is this slogan literally true or exaggerated? Cleo is an ultra-small drone that can be put into the pocket. In the statement, developer Omar Eleryan stated: "The drone should be made safer, smaller, and easier to use." He co-designed with Simon Czarnota. Cleo, reduced the size of drones and removed features that consumers didn't care about.

From the design perspective, Cleo is different from other drones. It does not use the classic four-axis drone design but integrates helicopter and rocket technology. The selfie drone stacks two blades together to ensure stability and reduce the size. Users can use a smartphone to directly control the drone so that we can take the drone anywhere.

The round body is equipped with a paddle wing

Cleo Drone mixed the design of the helicopter and the rocket. The round fuselage had a pair of rotors inside it, with protective bars at the top and bottom to increase safety. It was advertised that it can be used in an indoor or crowded place.

Flight time is up to 20 minutes?

Its aircraft has a volume of 92 x 92 x 30 mm and a weight of 65 grams, so the user can carry it out as long as they put it into the pocket.

Cleo Drone can be controlled with a mobile app, and its aerial lens can shoot 14-megapixel photos, record 1080p @ 60fps video, image transfer resolution is 720p @ 30fps. According to the official claim, Cleo Drone can provide up to 20 minutes of continuous flying time for each charge for 30 minutes. If it is true, the battery life is not bad. With the help of the APP, manipulating drones is easier. With the click of a button, Cleo can shoot 360-degree video, take panoramic shots, shoot with bird's eye angles, and take perfect selfies.

In emergency situations, Cleo drones can be used with infrared and thermal imaging software. If someone is trapped in a building that is on fire, firefighters can use drones to find trapped people. Drones can also determine if someone is inside the building to avoid firefighters being injured. As an emerging brand, this drone made by Cleo Robotics does have his extraordinary features.

The photography drone is awesome. We can use it to shoot images that we can't take by ourselves. Whether it's going to familiar places for hiking or adventure in a new place, you can take your drone. It allows us to appreciate the world with a new perspective. Unfortunately, these products are not suitable for ordinary consumers. Drones are too expensive and too big to control with large controllers and require flying operations experience. Two engineers tried to change this situation. They developed a selfie drone called Cleo.

According to media reports, Canadian engineers Omar Eleryan and Simon Czarnota recently formed the Cleo Robotics team and introduced a doughnut-shaped drone Cleo. Cleo is a mini-drone, fits in a pocket, and is controlled by a smartphone app equipped with a high-definition camera. In addition, Cleo is not a four-axis aircraft, it only has two propellers stacked in its pipeline. Also, the grille at the top and bottom of the aircraft can protect the user's fingers from damage caused by the rapid rotation of the aircraft, which means that when the drone is flying, the user can reach out and grab it. At the same time, Canadian engineers also plan to increase obstacle avoidance and indoor navigation systems, and ultimately hope that Cleo can also be used in the security industry.

Speaking of drones, many people first think of DJI. Indeed, DJI as a Chinese brand, has occupied a pivotal position in the world of drones. However, it is not DJI that we want to introduce to everyone today, but it is a new brand that is determined to make a breakthrough in the field of drones. The unnamed drone start-up company is going to make a name for itself. One of the axes is to humble its mind and design a peculiar drone. The Lily Camera is shaped like a discus, and the box-shaped Hover Camera Passport looks also attractive.

DOBBY drone

The drone is also equipped with the Snapdragon 801 processor and 2GB of storage, allowing it to handle flight and picture data. DOBBY is also equipped with a 1300W SONY camera, viewing angle -90 degrees ~ 22.5 degrees, support 4K@30fps, 1080p@30fps HD video capture.

Parrot / Parrot Bebop Drone 2

Parrot's drones are mostly small, but it's also a very productive company - 13 new products released in a year. Today we will choose a more common mini quadcopter drone - Parrot Bebop 2 to talk about.

The Bebop 2 is an entry-level machine for beginners. It is small and portable, with a 14-megapixel camera and full HD photography. As a mini consumer drone, battery life has always been a problem in the industry. Even the Mavic series in DJI is 20 minutes, but the life of the Bebop 2 has reached an astonishing 25 minutes, and the speed can reach 60KM/h. It rises by 100 meters in seconds and is able to withstand wind speeds of 64KM/h.

Axis Vidius

The Axis Vidius is an entertainment-oriented mini drone and the world's smallest four-axis drone with camera, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. The Axis Vidius measures 43 x 43 x 25 mm and weighs about 200g, which is only one-third the weight of the DJI Mavic. Although it is small in size, its internal equipment and functions are quite complete. It has a built-in 150mAh lithium battery and can last for 5 to 7 minutes. At the same time of flight, it can return 420P resolution images to smart devices. Six-axis gyro-stabilized, intelligent directional controllers are available. Both the smart device and the remote control can be operated easily and conveniently.

What's even cooler is that Axis Vidius also has a built-in "Trick-Mode" mode, which is able to achieve 360 degrees automatic scrolling. The fuselage is equipped with LED indicators, so you don't have to worry about finding it at night. It's really intimate.

Since last year, the heat of drones has remained high. When it comes to drones, most people will think of God's perspective, high rate of the second glance, expensive price, high-order and other words. Although the drone technology has matured, the penetration rate is still relatively low. One of the reasons is that the price is too expensive and it is easy to bomb, and most people's economy is still unable to support. Secondly, the current state control of drones is strict, and it is necessary to obtain a special drone operation certificate.

In addition to some enthusiasts, as drones are widely used in a marriage proposal and variety shows, more and more ordinary photographers are gradually participating in drone activities.

Maybe all digital electronics have to go through a size problem. Since the introduction of the mini quadcopter drones in DJI, the “unmanned drones can be made smaller” has become a topic of concern to people - this is not the case, more and more manufacturers are starting to launch their own brand of handheld mini machine. Of course, the mini drone does not mean just a useless toy. Companies such as DJI are launching increasingly smaller and smaller drones, such as the collapsible Spark, and the more budget-friendly, cheaper, and smaller Tello. We can see that the mini drone will be the trend of future drone technology development. Relying on the power of this technology, I believe that when people go on a trip, or a party, they will carry a drone in addition to a mobile phone and a camera.

So today, let's take a look at those small drones that are smaller and smaller.

DOBBY drone

The shape of the DOBBY drone is slightly different. It means smooth and round, and the wing adopts a folding design. When folded, the dimensions are only 135mm*67mm*36.8mm, and the weight of the whole machine is 199g, which can be easily put into a shirt pocket.
