Chinese technology company, DJI, released its flagship drone, the Matrice three0 (Mthree0), at the National Association of Broadcasters’ Annual Summit in Las Vegas this week. The $4,599-priced Mthree0 drone is designed to help film and television professionals with camera work on big-budget Hollywood productions. It uses DJI’s Zenmuse camera and features a LightBridge2 video downlink, streaming in full HD (1080p at three frames per second) from a 60-mile distance with a new A3 flight controller, and can remain mid-air for 35 minutes. The 60 GPS units and IMUs allow the drone to gauge its position exactly and repeat a specific flight path with centimetre precision to obtain a specific shot. DJI also hopes that the Mthree0 will appeal to industrial clients for performing high-risk inspections of offshore oil rigs.
