DJI has recently shown an interesting video of it’s Phantom X project. The drone looks very similar to the Phantom quadcopters, but with foldable landing gear. The camera is integrated on the down side of the chassis. Note that it is a prototype and most of the video is computer edited.
Here are some of the unique new features:
No need of a transmitter. Control the drone just with your Apple Watch.
Obstacle avoidance.
Start the drone by throwing it in the air.
Well, the last one is not unique, as Lily Flying Camera already presented this type of starting a few months ago. Obviously DJI saw a threat in its face. I hope they will work enough on the safety, so the drone doesn’t start accidentally in my hand.
I am a bit skeptical about the obstacle avoidance, or at least working so good with that speed in the video. But lets wait and see what DJI will present next year.
