AirSelfie2 Flying Camera http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/18716/airselfie2-flying-camera Wed, 10 Jan 2018 15:24:40 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 18716@/talks/discussions image

Aerial photography has been transformed once again with today's announcement of the AirSelfie2, the next generation of the revolutionary, pocket-sized flying camera. The device will feature an enhanced camera, longer battery life and greater memory as well as an upgraded smartphone app, making for the best photo and video experience in its class.

The AirSelfie2 takes all the groundbreaking features of the original AirSelfie and turbocharges them. It will offer a 12-megapixel camera for full HD photo and video, an 85° field of view and a battery life that runs up to 50 percent longer than the original. The AirSelfie2, which will be available for purchase in March 2018, comes in four colors - silver, black, gold and rose gold.

“The AirSelfie2 is truly revolutionary when it comes to flying cameras. When you’re looking to capture life’s important moments, dramatic scenery or large group shots, you want a combination of best-in-class technology and ease of use. The AirSelfie2 delivers precisely that,” said Stefano Cabella, CEO of AirSelfie.

Like its predecessor, the AirSelfie2 is small enough to fit in your pocket, coming in at 3.72” x 2.71” x 0.45”. And it weighs just over two ounces, so you’ll barely notice it’s there. It features anodized aluminum casing, so it’s durable enough to withstand modern life. And with four turbo fans flying it, the AirSelfie2 can travel more than 60 feet from home base. That, combined with a vibration absorption system, ensures users can take great pictures or video from every angle.

The AirSelfie2 also features a 16GB memory - allowing for thousands of pictures or video clips. It connects wirelessly to most with iOS and Android devices, meaning you can upload shots to social media or share them in seconds. And the 85° field of view on the AirSelfie2 means no special lenses or attachments to get the best shot possible.

The AirSelfie2 includes a flying camera, a powerbank for anywhere/anytime recharging, a USB cable for connecting to a computer and a protective bumper. AirSelfie2 will be through airselfiecamera.com and select retailers for $299.95.

For those at CES, come by and test out the AirSelfie at LVCC South Hall, Lower Level, #26030.

DJI Phantom Lineup can be terminated, expected further price hikes http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/21955/dji-phantom-lineup-can-be-terminated-expected-further-price-hikes Sat, 27 Apr 2019 02:11:59 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 21955@/talks/discussions

Yes, the Phantom line with the exception of the Phantom 4 Pro RTK has come to an end

DJI Director of Public Safety Integration Romeo Durscher

Phantom 4, except RTK is out of stock in most places and won't supply.

Persistent rumors and people very close to DJI have informed us that the DJI Phantom 5 has been canceled. The product manager responsible for the Phantom 5, of which we have seen various prototypes with interchangeable lenses earlier, has been reassigned to another DJI project.

https://dronedj.com/2019/04/26/dji-rumors-phantom-5-canceled/

My source in sales channel old that this can be truth. As DJI all last months try to hike average selling drone price. Also Phantom average life between major repairs is much higher compared to Mavic, and company does not like this. He told that DJI management specially talked to largest retailers assuring them that they do anything possible to make drones live shorter times and have higher prices, so it'll be more profits for bott of them.

TIFFEN STEADICAM STEADIMATE-S http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/21832/tiffen-steadicam-steadimate-s Tue, 02 Apr 2019 10:02:35 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 21832@/talks/discussions image

Newest Camera Stabilizer Designed for Seamless Use with the DJI Ronin-S®

The Tiffen Company, the leading manufacturer of imaging accessories for the consumer/professional imaging and the motion picture and broadcast television industries, announces today the addition of the Steadimate-S to its Steadicam line of camera stabilizers.

Presented for the first time at NAB 2019, the Steadicam Steadimate-S offers camera operators increased freedom, endurance, and creative opportunity when working with single-handed motorized stabilizers like the DJI Ronin-S®. By pairing a single-handed stabilizer with a body- worn stabilizer the DJI Ronin-S can be operated for hours with minimal physical fatigue while maintaining a wide range of vertical movement and adding full panning ability and “low-mode” operation.

Users can minimize or completely eliminate the bouncing image effect that often occurs when using single-handled stabilizers as the Steadimate-S provides x-axis and y-axis stabilization while the Steadicam arm provides z-axis stabilization. The addition of the Steadimate-S easily and affordably transforms single-handed motorized gimbals into professional video stabilization systems.

“The Steadicam Steadimate-S is a new, elegant solution designed to add stability, operational comfort, and panning ability to single-handed stabilizers that are popular with camera operators,” said Andrew Tiffen, SVP of Marketing, The Tiffen Company. “We look forward to debuting and demonstrating this latest camera stabilizer in our booth at the NAB Show next month.”

The Steadimate-S comes standard with a post block and balance pin that fits arms with 1/2" posts. The weight capacity varies depending on the single-handed stabilizer, arm, and vest being used. The Steadimate-S adapter can be purchased on its own for use with existing arms and vests, or as a complete kit available in two weight classes. The Steadimate-S 15 System comes with the A-15 Arm & Scout Vest and offers a 15 lbs./6.8 kg weight capacity, while the Steadimate-S 30 System comes with the A-30 Arm & Zephyr Vest and boasts a 30 lbs./13.6 kg capacity.

DJI Smart Controller http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/21274/dji-smart-controller Tue, 08 Jan 2019 09:12:37 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 21274@/talks/discussions image

DJI, the world's leader in civilian drones and aerial imaging technology, continues its tradition of making aerial technology accessible to everyone by introducing a powerful new remote controller for its drones at CES 2019. The Smart Controller features an ultra-bright display screen and controls optimized for DJI drones, allowing pilots to fly the newest drones without using a smartphone or tablet. DJI will also be exhibiting its full lineup of consumer drones and handheld imaging products at its booth at CES 2019, including the new Osmo Pocket stabilized camera, and will host exciting workshops, hands-on product demonstrations and more. Attendees can find DJI in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, booth #25602.

Smart Controller Expands Pilot Options

The DJI Smart Controller expands the ecosystem of accessories built around DJI's industry leading drone technology. Using a crisp 5.5" screen built into the controller itself, the Smart Controller allows pilots to quickly get their drone in the air without the need to connect a mobile device. It can be paired with DJI's newest drones including Mavic 2 Zoom and Mavic 2 Pro[1] which use DJI's OcuSync 2.0 video transmission system, displaying vivid images in Full HD resolution. Drone pilots can take advantage of its compact, highly portable design that has been optimized for use in direct sunlight. It features an ultra-bright display with an output of 1000 cd/m2, twice the brightness of standard smart phones. A customizable Android dashboard supports DJI GO 4, DJI Pilot[2], along with various third-party apps such as editing programs. The DJI GO 4 app also touts several new features including SkyTalk, that allows pilots to livestream the drone's camera feed to social channels including Facebook, Instagram and WeChat so that anyone can experience the thrill of flying a drone. Another new feature is DJI GO-Share which easily transfers imagery from the Controller to your mobile device. The DJI Smart Controller brings a new level of reliability when flying, with 2.5 hours of battery life and the ability to operate in adverse temperatures as cold as -4° Fahrenheit and as hot as 104° Fahrenheit.

3-axis stabilizers ala FreeFly MOVi or ZenMuse - DIY and commercial http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/6758/3-axis-stabilizers-ala-freefly-movi-or-zenmuse-diy-and-commercial Sat, 20 Apr 2013 13:11:01 +0000 DanDOF 6758@/talks/discussions I am interested in discussing possible DIY setups for an affordable ($500 or less) motor-based camera stabilization system. Most likely this will use a combination of gimbals, gyros, brushless motors and some controller. However, I think there is potential of at least discussing the combination of of rack pinion gear system instead of gimbals for stabilizing 3-axis movment (X, Y, Z).

TOPIC RULES:

  1. Don't put people down for asking basic questions. I am new to this knowledge area too (with no experience using RC multicopters).

  2. Encourage creative thinking. Perhaps stabilizing cameras handheld requires/deserves a different approach than tech used on multicopters.

I am reserving this post as a summary of "good/feasible" ideas.

On December 22, 2018 Indemnis successfully passed the ASTM F3322-18 standard testing matrix. The technical standard is designed to enable safe flight operations over people on small unmanned aerial vehicles while using a parachute as a risk mitigation device. The Nexus has been validated against the requirements of the standard and is the first and only parachute recovery system in the world to become certified and compliant in meeting the requirements of the standard.

The testing was conducted in controlled airspace at the Griffiss International Airport in Rome, NY. The Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research Alliance (NUAIR) oversaw at the testing and instigated each failure in a concealed fashion, to avoid any potential anticipation of the test.

The standard specification contains a series of 45 functionality tests across 5 different failure scenarios, that are designed to validate proper parachute system deployment and canopy inflation within the full flight envelope of the aircraft.
