DJI’s upcoming Mavic 3 Pro drone may be a big upgrade over the last model, according to leaks, with longer flight time and two cameras, including a telephoto and large sensor unit. Talking of which, the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 fairs well in the video and stills department too, thanks to its 20MP 1-inch sensor, which lets it shoot phantom 4 flexible raw photos and 4K/60p video at 100Mbps in the D-Log color profile. Of course, it’s nowhere near as convenient as tiny folding drones like the DJI Mavic Air 2, but if reliability and the ability to fine-tune your aerial footage in post-production are your priorities, this remains one of the best choices around.

No. “We’ve always told our distributors and our dealers, you have to follow any applicable export control laws of any country where you’re operating and the US… DJI has the ability to set up geofences, and it’s one of the few things DJI has actually offered to do in response to Ukraine’s ask — but as DJI points out, it’s not foolproof. “If a stationary AeroScope customer uses our AWS server, it is theoretically possible for us to access it,” says Lisberg. And Lugo says that in his experience, AeroScope dealers tend to put their clients on the cheaper AWS “demo cloud” more often than not. That was the theory in 2017, but DJI says it’s not happening at all.
That compact nature is just as important in the Cine edition which has the same camera but rebuilds the internals to find space for a 1TB SSD and the throughput to handle ProRes 422 HQ video. If you need this format, you’re likely to understand that , though we did think it a little odd that DJI didn’t even offer the choice of going without the Pro remote, but it is one fewer thing to set up. We’re also huge fans of the new DJI RC which launched with this drone; it is a relatively light controller but with a built in 5.5” display. None of us ever wants to have a flyaway or a downed drone and I wish this upon no one.
DJI also makes a device called the Aeroscope, which can track its drones and their operators at a range of up to 50km, leaving them vulnerable. Ukraine’s vice-prime minister has claimed that the company has helped phantom 4 Russian forces by allowing them to use the Aeroscope . They have been used in previous conflicts, notably by Islamic State in Iraq and Syria for reconnaissance and to drop bombs, but only on a small scale.
The company’s products have also been used by militaries and police forces, as well as terrorist groups, with the company taking steps to limit access to the latter. The DJI Air 2S is a small folding drone with a premium 1-inch sensor camera, 5.4K video, and a number of automated flight and safety features, making it a pro-minded alternative to the more affordable Mavic Air 2. The large aircraft is powered by two batteries, and features other backup systems. It can also capture CinemaDNG or Apple ProRes video onto SSD-based memory cards (backing up to MicroSD card at the same time).
From the Phantom 1 to the Mavic Air, to the professionally-minded Matrice 200 series, DJI has successfully pivoted from the consumer to the commercial market, while showcasing their dominance over both sectors. Drone technology has grown from a DIY garage hobby to a booming billion-dollar industry that has already begun to transform the way different industries around the world operate. With fast-paced advancement and innovation, drones have become safer, more affordable, and smaller while camera quality and flight features have also continued to improve at rapid speeds.
