  • DJI Launches RC Plus 2 Controller with O4 Video Transmission

    DJI Launches RC Plus 2 Controller with O4 Video Transmission

    There are currently no indications regarding the Mavic 4 series or any related enterprise drones. However, it appears that DJI has subtly rolled out the remote controller that will likely be paired with its upcoming flagship drones, such as the Inspire 4. The company has not made any official statements about this yet.

    New Features of the RC Plus 2

    Dronenr has discovered the next version of the RC Plus, which is priced at $1,599 on Amazon, listed alongside DJI’s new Agras T70 and T100 agricultural drones. To summarize, the RC Plus 2 introduces DJI O4 video transmission, a feature that the original RC Plus does not have since it supports drones like the Inspire 3. Consequently, the RC Plus 2 boasts a range that is 2 km longer than its earlier model.

    Design Changes and Specifications

    Additionally, Dronenr has observed some modifications, such as updated speaker vents, enhanced rubber bumpers, and a slight redesign. Nevertheless, the new remote control keeps the 7-inch display and maintains the same button arrangement as its predecessor. Sadly, it is still unclear when DJI will make the RC Plus 2 available outside of China at this point.

  • DJI Mic Mini Specs Leaked Before Launch Day

    DJI Mic Mini Specs Leaked Before Launch Day

    The launch of DJI’s latest microphone is nearly here. Last week, the company teased that it will be unveiling a more compact version of the Mic 2 (currently priced at $99 on Amazon) on November 26 during an event they are calling ‘Carry Less, Capture More.’

    Specifications Unveiled

    In the meantime, leaker Igor Bogdanov (@Quadro_News) has disclosed all the final hardware specs, which we have listed below. The images also show what to expect from the Mic Mini’s charging case and its receiver. For your information, DJI has labeled these models as DMMC01 and DMMR01. As anticipated, the Mic Mini will offer Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity and operate within the 2.400-2.4835 GHz frequency range.

    Impressive Battery Life

    Additionally, both the transmitter and receiver are expected to have a battery life that surpasses ten hours, even though they use fairly small batteries. The optional charging case should be able to recharge the devices more than three times before it requires a recharge itself. Interestingly, the Mic Mini is rumored to be priced at just €59 (around $62). However, if you want the charging case, receiver, and two transmitters, the total price is expected to jump to €169. Check out the images below for more information.

  • DJI Mavic 4 Drone and RC Plus 2 Controller Leaked Details

    DJI Mavic 4 Drone and RC Plus 2 Controller Leaked Details

    DJI has introduced a number of products this year, including a fresh action camera named the Osmo Action 5 Pro, which is currently priced at $349 on Amazon. Besides that, the company has also refreshed its consumer drone lineup with the Air 3S and Neo models. Nevertheless, the Mavic 3 series continues to be the flagship drone of the company, remaining popular more than three years after it was first launched.

    New Developments in Drone Technology

    Recently, various hints of potential new models have emerged online from well-known leakers. It appears that the Mavic 4 was seen alongside the Mavic 3 Pro. According to the information from those leaks, it looks like the Mavic 4 series may come with a round camera housing, marking a change from the existing Mavic 3 series design.

    Insights from Recent Footage

    On the other hand, some new footage shared by @OsitaLV, @JasperEllens, and @Quadro_News suggests a different story. The video shows what is believed to be a crashed Mavic 4 Enterprise, highlighting a more rectangular design for the drone’s camera housing that protects three lenses. Sadly, there are no further details available about these cameras, but it’s possible to see several sensors mounted on the top and bottom.

    Stronger Build and New Controller

    Interestingly, the upcoming drone seems to have particularly robust arms, which usually would bend in the event of a crash. Additionally, @Quadro_News has revealed the first image of a new RC Plus controller, named the RC Plus 2. There are a few design changes between the two controllers, although the general layout of the RC Plus 2 resembles that of its predecessor. It’s expected that the RC Plus 2 will be released alongside either the Mavic 4 or Mavic 4 Enterprise, which might also come equipped with bigger batteries compared to the older models. As things stand, it appears that DJI might delay the launch of either drone and their accessories until early 2025.

  • DJI Mic Mini Leak: Price and Accessories for Compact Microphone

    DJI Mic Mini Leak: Price and Accessories for Compact Microphone

    DJI is set to introduce a cost-effective wireless microphone system named the DJI Mic Mini in the near future. Earlier this month, some details emerged about the microphone and its specifications. Recently, more information has surfaced regarding the pricing and the accessories that will come with it.

    Pricing Options for Creators

    According to a Twitter user and tipster @Quadro_News, the Mic Mini aims to attract budget-minded creators with varying pricing options. The lowest price point seems to be for a single Mic Mini unit priced at €59 (around $63.27). If you’re looking for a single unit that comes without a charging case, expect to pay around €89 (approximately $95.44). Lastly, there’s a dual-transmitter package that includes a dedicated charging case, which is rumored to cost €169 (about $181.2).

    Accessories Included in the Package

    The leak also provided an image showcasing the accessories that will be part of the higher-end bundle. The compact microphones are displayed next to a stylish charging case, along with windshields designed for various recording situations, a carrying pouch, and adapters for USB-C and 3.5mm, which will make it compatible with many devices.

    Lightweight and Portable Design

    Weighing in at just 10 grams, the Mic Mini is designed with portability in mind. Its simple design, combined with a clip-on feature as indicated in earlier leaks, suggests it could become a favorite choice for vloggers and mobile journalists who require high-quality audio while on the move.

    This recent leak also reaffirms previous details regarding the Mic Mini’s sleek clip-on design and color choices: Arctic White and Infinity Black. With all these specifics now disclosed, it seems an official announcement from DJI could be just around the corner—possibly in just a few days. Keep an eye out for any new information!

  • DJI Osmo Mobile 7 Gimbal Leaked Alongside Two Other DJI Devices

    DJI Osmo Mobile 7 Gimbal Leaked Alongside Two Other DJI Devices

    It has been some time since we got hints that DJI is working on a new model to take over the Osmo Mobile 6 (currently priced at $139 on Amazon). In September 2023, leaker @Quadro_News shared that DJI had started to mention the Osmo Mobile 7 in its mobile applications. Despite this, we haven’t seen any details about the gimbal, especially with so many DJI products launching recently.

    Signs of a New Release

    However, it looks like a replacement for the Osmo Mobile 6 could be close. There isn’t much information available about the new model yet. Nevertheless, a clear indication of an upcoming device release has appeared online thanks to Jasper Ellens and Mauro Tandoi.

    DJI has now received certification for the Osmo Mobile 7 from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S., and initial documents for the device have been made public. Sadly, the FCC has not disclosed how the camera gimbal will appear. Instead, the recent certifications suggest that DJI may unveil the Osmo Mobile 7 together with the ‘OM Multifunctional Module’ and a product called the Osmo Mobile 7P. While we don’t have any additional details about these three items yet, it seems likely that the FCC’s document release marks just the start of information leaks regarding the Osmo Mobile 7, rather than being a one-time event.

    Looking Ahead

    In short, the excitement surrounding the Osmo Mobile 7 is growing, and many are eager for more details. As we wait, it’s clear that DJI is gearing up for something big!

  • DJI FPV Headset Leaked: Specs and Downgrades Revealed

    DJI FPV Headset Leaked: Specs and Downgrades Revealed

    DJI has been busy launching several new products in recent months. They kicked things off with the Neo, which is currently priced at $199 on Amazon. This lightweight drone weighs just 135 grams and was quickly followed by the release of the Osmo Action 5 Pro camera. Just yesterday, DJI unveiled the Air 3S, a product that had been leaked multiple times over the summer and early fall.

    New Products and Rumors

    In the midst of these announcements, information about the Mavic 4, RC Track, and Goggles N3 has also appeared online. However, it is still unclear when any of these will actually be revealed to the public. Nevertheless, Jasper Ellens has shared an initial glimpse of what could be the retail version of the Goggles N3.

    Goggles N3 Features

    Jasper Ellens mentioned that DJI has designed the Goggles N3 to pair with the Neo, supporting earlier speculations. This means that the Goggles N3 will likely feature less advanced technology compared to the Goggles 3, which launched alongside the Avata 2.

    While specific specifications have yet to be disclosed, Ellens suggests that the Goggles N3 will be affordable and lightweight but somewhat bulky compared to the Goggles 3. Additionally, the upcoming first-person view (FPV) goggles are expected to have a single screen and will support OcuSync 4 (O4) for video transmission.

  • DJI Air 3S Drone Launch: Upgraded Cameras & Enhanced Obstacle Detection

    DJI Air 3S Drone Launch: Upgraded Cameras & Enhanced Obstacle Detection

    DJI has officially unveiled its new drone during the ‘Chase the View’ launch event held today. The highly anticipated Air 3S has been announced, although DJI has yet to release any formal details. Interestingly, The Verge has jumped the gun and shared its coverage on the launch ahead of time.

    Upgrades in Camera Technology

    The Air 3S sets itself apart from last year’s Air 3, which is currently priced at $1,549 on Amazon, with a range of camera enhancements. For instance, DJI has upgraded the primary camera from the Air 3, swapping out the 48 MP and 1/1.3-inch sensor for a much larger and more detailed 1-inch type sensor that shoots at 50 MP.

    Enhanced Features for Better Performance

    While the Air 3S keeps the 48 MP telephoto camera from its predecessor (with a 1/1.3-inch sensor offering 3x optical zoom), both cameras boast 14 f-stops of dynamic range. This enhancement is expected to help the Air 3S perform better in bright sunlight or during sunset shots. Additionally, the drone can record 4K videos at a smooth 60 FPS with HDR or 120 FPS for slow-motion captures.

    Storage and Battery Life Improvements

    Allegedly, new compression techniques are said to reduce file sizes by up to 30%, coinciding with DJI’s expansion of internal storage from 8 GB to a whopping 42 GB, while still allowing for microSD card additions. The Air 3S is also equipped with six cameras, a LiDAR scanner, and an infrared ToF sensor, which greatly improves its obstacle avoidance capabilities and ensures reliable ‘return to home’ functionality in low-light situations. The drone is claimed to offer up to 45 minutes of flight time between battery changes, although this is likely only achievable under perfect conditions with minimal wind and obstacles.

    The Air 3S will be available for order starting later today, with prices set at £959, €1,099, and $1,099, which includes an RC-N3 remote controller. DJI will also provide various combo packages with different controllers and accessories. However, it appears that the anticipated RC Track’s release has been postponed, as it was not mentioned at all in The Verge’s pre-launch coverage.

  • Insta360 Ace Pro 2: New Action Camera to Compete with GoPro, DJI

    Insta360 Ace Pro 2: New Action Camera to Compete with GoPro, DJI

    The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 is finally on the way. While competitors like DJI and GoPro released their new action cameras during the summer, Insta360 has been rather quiet about its plans for action cameras. This silence continued even after many leaks surfaced throughout August and September.

    Exciting New Leaks

    As DJI prepares to launch a new drone in just one day, leaker Igor Bogdanov has shared some never-before-seen images of the Insta360 Ace Pro 2, along with additional specifications. The images shared seem to be what Insta360 and its retail partners intended to use for marketing purposes.

    Impressive Specifications

    The hardware of the Ace Pro 2 shows off some notable features, such as a 157-degree field of view (FoV) and a new 1/1.3-inch camera sensor. Additionally, the camera will include updated microphone technology, which is likely enhanced by Insta360’s new ‘5 nm AI chip’. This will also be paired with a somewhat unclear ‘Pro Imaging Chip’. It’s still unknown when the Ace Pro 2 will be ready to compete with the Hero 13 Black or Osmo Action 5 Pro (currently priced at $379 on Amazon). However, the recent promotional material suggests that an official launch is coming soon.

  • DJI Announces Official Release Date for New Consumer Drone

    DJI Announces Official Release Date for New Consumer Drone

    DJI has taken its time this year to launch a new product for consumers. But it isn’t wasting time after the recent release of the Osmo Action 5 Pro and Neo. While the details about the upcoming device are not fully confirmed, the company has shared when it will reveal it.

    Upcoming Event Announcement

    As hinted by a last-minute leak, DJI is set to unveil a new product on October 15, moving up from the previously suggested date of October 23. The teaser from the company indicates that the ‘Chase the View’ event will kick off at 13:00 UTC. This timing will likely also mark the start of global pre-orders. However, it’s still unclear when these pre-orders will actually start shipping out.

    Anticipated New Product

    At this moment, DJI is expected to announce the Air 3S instead of the flagship Mavic 4. Though this is not yet confirmed, the Air 3S has received more leaks in recent weeks compared to the Mavic 4. Additionally, DJI’s teaser suggests that the new product launching on October 15 will come with two cameras, aligning with what we anticipate for an Air 3 (curr. $1,239 on Amazon) successor, rather than a replacement for the Mavic 3.

  • DJI Air 3S Leak: Specs of New Dual-Camera Drone Revealed

    DJI Air 3S Leak: Specs of New Dual-Camera Drone Revealed

    At this stage, we’ve had the chance to view DJI’s upcoming Air 3S drone from several perspectives. We’ve also seen some in-flight videos of the drone, along with price leaks. Although many specifications were not clear until now, a well-known tipster with a solid track record of DJI leaks has revealed almost all the details about the Air 3S. Some of these details match earlier leaks, making the rumors even more credible. Weighing in at 724 grams, the Air 3S is anticipated to come with a dual-camera setup, which includes a wide-angle and a medium telephoto lens.

    Camera Specifications

    The wide-angle camera is expected to have a 1-inch CMOS sensor, as previously thought, with a digital zoom ranging from 1 to 2.9x, a 24 mm focal length, an f/1.8 aperture, and a resolution of 50 megapixels. This represents a significant upgrade from the DJI Air 2S (currently priced at $894 on Amazon), which had a 20MP sensor. The telephoto lens is said to feature a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor, with a digital zoom of 3x to 9x, a 70 mm focal length, an f/2.8 aperture, and a resolution of 48 MP. Both cameras will provide a dynamic range of up to 14 stops.

    Video and Flight Features

    According to the latest leak, the video capabilities will include 4K shooting at up to 60fps and slow-motion video at 4K/120fps. The drone will support recording in 10-bit D-log-M and HLG formats, ensuring high-quality footage. Video stabilization is handled by a 3-axis ball anti-shake system.

    The Air 3S is expected to have a maximum flight time of 45 minutes, powered by a 4,276 mAh battery, taking previous leaks into consideration. It will also come with 42 GB of internal storage, with MicroSD support for cards up to 512 GB. For obstacle avoidance, the drone is equipped with a LiDAR-based sensor barrier detection system, which is a first for DJI’s non-commercial drones. Previously, DJI included LiDAR sensors in its much pricier Zenmuse L1 and L2 drones, making this a significant advancement for the brand.

    Intelligent Flight Modes

    The Air 3S will offer various intelligent flight modes, such as Waypoint, QuickShots, MasterShots, FocusTrack, Spotlight 2.0, ActiveTrack 5.0, and Point of Interest 3.0. Additional features will include APAS 5.0, night mode, hyperlapse, slow-motion, SmartPhoto 3.0, and QuickTransfer. Furthermore, it will have a next-gen Return to Home (RTH) system for automated flight return, according to reports.

    With all these leaked specifications, the DJI Air 3S is shaping up to be a notable improvement over the DJI Air 2S, with a price point of $1,492, based on earlier reports (this price includes the RC 2 remote controller, in addition to the new RC-N3 remote controller option that comes with the DJI Neo). Now, we just need an official confirmation from DJI, which should be coming soon.
