DJI Matrice 100 and X3 camera leaked (not Matrix 100 and X5 camera)
Update: DJI officially launched the Matrice 100 (not Matrix 100 as reported in earlier leaks). Also the camera is the X3 not X5 as previously thought. The X3 camera is the same camera as used in the Inspire 1. Breaking news: DJI is rumored to be releasing a new quadcopter called the Matrix 100. It will be similar to a phantom but will allow for a wider range of attachments and sensors. More for tinkerers. For Order Information please check >HERE<. In an email to dealers the following was stated: Features: Expansion Bays Additional expansion bays allow you to add components, customize the payload, and fly with any devices you want. Put cameras, sensors, computing boards, communication tools, and more into the sky, and gather data while completing complex jobs from a birds‐eye view. Universal Power and Communication Ports Plug in and fly with almost any device, and transmit data via the Matrix 100’s dual CAN and UART ports. There are two of each port on your platform, enabling you to mount and build a system that matches your needs. Dual Battery Compartments Add an additional battery compartment to achieve up to 40 minutes* of flight time. This gives greater power to both your platform and any additional devices or accessories that you wish to fly with. *Flight times vary based on payload and flight conditions, and the maximum 40 minute flight time tested when hovering with dual TB48D batteries and no additional payload. Customizable Mounting and Balancing Achieve perfect balance and an ideal flight experience by sliding the battery and other compartments around the body of your Matrix 100. Put your components exactly where you want them, and get the most out of your system. Adjustable Arm Angle for Greater Torque Flexible to match your flight needs, adjusting the arm angle of each of the 4 arms is quick and easy. Achieve increased yaw torque and greater response by tilting the arms to a 3 degree angle. 50% Less Vibrations, Rigid, Strong System To reduce vibrations, increase stiffness, and bring unmatched reliability, your Matrix 100 is made of strong, lightweight carbon fiber. Each of the arms contains DJI’s new soft vibration absorbing material that virtually eliminates feedback from the powerful motors, keeping your critical components stable and allowing unprecedented accuracy. Responsive, Quick Release Landing Pads Innovative landing pads or “feet” are installed at the base of each arm to protect your Matrix 100 when landing. These pads greatly reduce impact, protecting your system and eliminating the chance of your platform unintentionally lifting off of the ground. Also easy and quick to remove for replacement or upgrades. Dedicated...

See more details here. Update 6: DJI officially releases the DJI Inspire 1. At it’s San Francisco media event Eric Cheng, DJI’s Director of Aerial Imaging presented the new Inspire 1. DJI also announced the launch of their own SDK which allows developers to write apps for iOS and Android which enable them access to control and gather information from DJI’s Phantom 2 series quadcopters. The DJI Inspire 1 starts at $2899 (for one C1 remote control bundle) and offers the following features: Professional DJI flight control system 3-axis gimbal stabilized 4K camera (featuring Sony EXMOR 1/2.3” Sensor, f2.8 20mm lens) HD wireless video transmission using Lightbridge Full remote camera control capability App controlled manual camera settings GPS-free indoor stabilization using camera based imagery and sonic waves to stabilize indoors For a complete set of features and specs check out our DJI Inspire 1 page.

Update 4: A new set of photos has been leaked showing a few closer views of the DJI Inspire 1 T600 that DJI will announce officially on 11.12.14. In the first photograph we get the first glimpse of what the “Vision” version including its rumored 4K camera will look like. You can also see the 3 axis gimbal which stabilizes DJI’s own camera. Now it also makes sense for them to offer a built in FPV monitor in the remote control of the quadcopter utilizing DJI’s high definition Lightbridge system. Update 3: The new unreleased DJI Inspire 1 got photographed in a Test Flight! In a test flight someone captured the secret new quadcopter from DJI. As we reported earlier this new quad from the company that brought us the super popular Phantom 2 will be announcing this new Inspire 1 on 11.12.14. The body seen in the spy photos below, is white which just means this is an early engineering sample or prototype used for testing purposes. People who speculated that it would be an H style frame can pat...
DJI Phantom 3 Professional leaked w/ Updates!
The new DJI Phantom 3 Professional and Phantom 3 Advanced have arrived! Please Subscribe to stay up-to-date on all Phantom 3 News. Updated FAQ below. Update: DJI released the phantom 3 battery and the famous hard shell backpack for order. get your hands on the phantom 3 battery here and it is compatible with both the phantom 3 professional and the p3 advanced. The hard shell backpack is available here and of course fits both drones as well. Other Phantom 3 Accessories are available on this page. Items such as replacement parts, or the new UV Filter are available there. The new Phantom 3 is called the Phantom 3 Professional and the Phantom 3 Advanced. The only difference between the two is the camera and the charge rate on the battery chargers. The Professional Charger is rated at 100W and the Advanced at 57W. (Update: The Advanced charger will charge the Phantom 3 battery in 96min and the Pro charger in 60min). The Professional features a 4K camera capable of 30FPS at 4K and the Advanced is capable of up to 2.7K (with recently released firmware update). I know it’s crazy that we can say “only” to 1080P but these are the days of Ultra High Definition Video. Philip Bloom tweeted that it’s the same camera as used on the Inspire 1. DJI claims that the cameras are free of distortion and offer Fisheye-less Videos and Photos. This is either done through software or the lenses of the cameras just aren’t as curved as the older Vision+ or the popular camera lens on the GoPro series of cameras. This is due to the Lens itself as the Phantom 3 cameras both on the Pro and the Advanced version feature a 94 degree field-of-view. More details will of course come to light in the coming days. Another interesting point is the new higher voltage battery, with 720mAh less capacity DJI is claiming similar flight times as the Phantom 2. This is also due to more efficient motors, ESC’s and the higher voltage battery. To view our own Unboxing please check out our Phantom 3 Professional Unboxing page. The first phantom 3’s have arived in customers hands in Signapore.
