Timeline of DJI Drones

In 2013, DJI released the first model of the Phantom drone, an entry-level drone which was more user-friendly than other drones on the market at the time. DJI Spark drones are ideal for those just getting to know their way around drones. Controlling one from a cell phone offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface, and they even have the capability to respond to simple hand gestures. There are also convenient features such as QuickLaunch to get them in the air quickly, and ActiveTrack to follow and continue recording a subject that’s on the move. The small size of Spark drones makes them portable and safe to fly indoors.

However, the drone might be hard to see physically, either because of the surrounding brush, or it might be located up in a tree. If you have difficulty spotting the drone, another nice feature within the find my drone screen is the ability to start flashing the drone’s lights and have it audibly beep, continuously. You’ll be able to tell you are getting closer to the drone, as the dot will physically, on the map, move closer to the drone’s location. Once the dot is in close proximity to the drone, you should be really close to the drone and able to see it. The initial map-view of the Find My Drone screen is the standard view. I generally have mine on “mixed” which is a combination of satellite and standard.

The original Osmo Pocket rocked a 1/2.3-inch sensor, the newer DJI Pocket 2 has a 1/1.7-inch sensor.

The DJI Mini 2 (see no.2) might offer 4K resolution, but the original Mavic Mini is now more affordable than ever. And while it has a few limitations compared to it’s newer sibling, it’s still the smallest, cheapest and most accessible DJI drone you can buy. At 249g, the featherweight flyer neatly avoids the need for registration, while its folding design makes it super easy to stash in your jacket pocket.

For some use cases, that might be better than a having a larger sensor. They’ve taken once difficult and expensive moviemaking techniques and made them accessible to anyone. Videos that once required a camera crew, expensive cranes, and hours of filming can now be done in minutes by the best drones with the tap of a single Auto Takeoff button. We appreciate that DJI dji mini 2 fly more combo is keen on offering excellent camera gear, even more excited to see them stepping up their own cameras, it’s just icing on the cake that they happen to make some of those cameras fly.
