Have anyone seen this latest 4K mini drone from Vitus? I guess it is their answer to the dji mavic maybe? It weighs less than 1lb and has folding arms, legs and props and says it uses dual mode global position, which I guess means regular GPS and GLONASS like everything else these days? Info from Walkera website (some wording slightly silly): Bold innovation and numerous times of optimization give rise to the foldable design for Vitus, of which the aircraft arms, landing gear and propeller blades can all be folded. The folded dimensions of the aircraft is 233x114x93mm (length, width and height), which is equivalent to the size of a water bottle, and the aircraft only weighs 890g. Large and heavy backpacks and trolley cases will no longer be needed for aerial photography, all you have to do is putting Vitus in your bag and enjoy the beautiful scenes whenever and wherever possible. 4K high-definition camera The camera supports 4K/30fps videos and images of 12 megapixels. The 85° ultra-low-distortion wide-angle lens helps to keep the original details and makes your works more inspiring. 4K 30fps 1080P 60fps Mini-sized 3-axis gimbal We refuse to sacrifice performance for reduced size. Through innovative design, we have created a mini-sized 3-axis stabilization gimbal, which could effectively prevent images from shaking during the flight and receive smooth and steady aerial images. Three-directional obstacle avoidance Through infrared TOF technology and 3 high-precision sensors, the smart obstacle avoidance system of the aircraft is able to detect obstacles 5 meters away in 3 directions (front, left, right.) and slows down, preventing risks brought by misoperation and ensuring flight safety. Satellite + visual positioning The dual-module GPS/Glonass satellite positioning system is able to obtain satellite positioning signals accurately and quickly. This helps to create more accurate and stable hovering at fixed heights and points. In addition, there is also infrared sensor and optical flow camera equipped at the bottom of the airframe, which quickly takes 50 pictures per second for positioning, achieving precision hover even indoor or without satellite signals. 1080P HD video transmission Through advanced digital video transmission technology, steady high-definition images can be transmitted at a great distance with low latency. The image quality for real-time preview is 1080P, which is an industry-leading feature. Powerful flight performance Four precisely-manufactured brushless motors bring highly efficient power output and powerful flight performance. When the 5200mAh high-capacity smart battery is fully charged, the maximum flight duration of the aircraft is 25 minutes. Hand-gesture selfie In Hand-gesture selfie mode, Vitus is able to recognize human hand movements and takes pictures. Drop your transmitter, make a pose and get a selfie. Smart follow Through algorithm technology of deep learning, objects can be automatically identified and followed. This will set your hands free, leading to wild imaginations for first-class movies. APP for aerial photography Walkera Drone, a professional ground station APP specially designed for aerial photography, is able to monitor flight attitude, position, heading and speed in real time. It includes smart functions like one-key take-off and landing, out-of-control course reversal, as well as flight path planning and POI flight. These amazing features all contribute to easy control of the aircraft. You could also preview, download, manage and share the collected image data on social network sites. Remote controller The DEVO-F8S remote controller has not only a mini size and comfortable hand feeling, but also combines the antenna with the mobile phone holder, making sure reliable signal and easy usage. In addition, the dual-thumbwheel design allows you to easily control the movement of the gimbal and operate the aircraft. AR games Vitus APP is able to provide players with racing and air battle games by combining augmented reality technology and adding virtual elements in outdoor flight scenarios, creating infinite joy and pleasure.
Thanks for posting Dava, I never knew about this one. I just posted about this on drone girl's blog. The AR games thing could get pretty huge I think, perhaps the next evolution of drone racing?
