DroneRise - DJI Master Wheels and Force Pro, Trump administration is going after drones and FCC certificate for Phantom 4 Pro 2.0 controller

Good morning, here we are with the headlines from yesterday. During the NAB 2018 show, DJI released the Master Wheels and the Force Pro but unfortunately no new drones. Unless they still have a surprise in store for us, but I doubt it. Furthermore, new proposed legislation from the Trump administration with greater powers for Homeland Security and Justice Departments for dealing with rogue drones. Lastly, an FCC approval for what seems to be the new controller for the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0. Enjoy!

Good morning, here are the headlines you may have missed over the weekend. Have you seen the Team Brunel video already? I still can’t believe they were able fly a drone of a racing yacht and were able to get it back on board safely. Crazy! We also have a video today that was shot on the Inspire 2 and the Zenmuse X7 camera of downtown Miami. Makes me want to go back there. Luckily the weather is warming up here in NY. So, grab a cup of coffee and jump in.

DroneRise – Greenland, pay to fly your drone in Boulder City and more

Good morning, we have had a bit of a busy weekend flying the Skydio R1 drone but more about that in a later post. Last week ended with a photo of what supposed to be the new Mavic Pro II drone. As soon as we saw it we were suspicious as it seemed exactly the same as the original Mavic Pro. A little while later, our hunch was confirmed with a series of tweets from OsitaLV claiming that it was his friends Mavic Pro. In his own words, OsitaLV was playing a ‘guessing game’ with all of his followers and he was ‘tired of being treated as a leaker’ even though that’s exactly how he positioned himself only a few weeks ago.

DroneRise – NYCDFF, Mavic Pro, Mavic Pro II, bird, Inspire 3

Good morning, We have had a busy weekend with the NYC Drone Film Festival. Lot’s of interesting stuff on Saturday afternoon and of course the highlight of the event, the drone films showcased during the evening program. See some of our favorites here. On Sunday we went to the Liberty Science Center in NJ to take part in the second day of the event. We spoke with people from Parrot, Autel Robotics, RED, and Skydio. We will have more news to share in the coming days as well as to work on our review of the R1 drone. I had a chance to fly it today and its obstacle avoidance is on a different level altogether.
