Good morning, last weekend has been all about DJI. First, we had the Argos catalog that came out with photos and specs of the DJI Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom foldable drones.

Yesterday, we found out about a photo of the Mavic 2 Enterprise Edition being posted on the official DJI website in Germany. Talking about the world’s leading drone manufacturer having a rough weekend…

Good morning and happy Monday! Hopefully, you’ve had a great weekend? We still have no word from DJI on when the “See the Bigger Picture” event might be taking place. If the Chinese drone maker will give the press and media a 3-weeks heads up before the event takes place (like they have done in the past), we will be looking at the second half of August at the earliest. As far as other new is concerned we have a story about how two suspects were caught in a cornfield with the help of a drone and a K-9 unit as well as news of a Bulgarian drone capable of flying 1,550 miles while carrying 800 pounds.

Good morning, today I woke up to find an email from DJI in my inbox in which they say that the delay of the launch event is not due to a design failure of the gimbal but that DJI wants “to ensure what we deliver to the market is up to our standard of innovation and we will have enough products available to ship to our customers when we do launch the product.” Without telling us what exactly the issue is, DJI stresses that it needs to meet their ‘standard of innovation’ which still seems to point to a technical problem with the product as well as having enough inventory available. That second part is interesting and is the first time we hear about the availability of the product being part of the reason to postpone the “See the bigger Picture Event.” DJI’s email ended with DJI acknowledging that there is: “a lot of excitement in the market on what’s to come, so we will definitely keep everyone posted when we are ready to make an official announcement.” No word on when that might be though…

Good morning! Yesterday Billy and I spend a good part of the day flying the DJI Mavic Air and the Parrot Anafi at the Lyndhurst Mansion in Tarrytown, NY. Therefore we have fewer headlines than usual but expect a video from us to come your way soon. With that, yesterday we did have some big news. Mountaineer, Rick Allen who was presumed dead was found alive by drone pilot Bartek Bargiel using his DJI Mavic Pro. Needless to say that we are all glad to hear that he made it back to base camp safely and is in good shape. We also got to see what might well be the first drone photo of the K2 mountain. The photo was taken from an elevation of 8,400 meters high, well above the altitude limit DJI informs you that your Mavic Pro can fly. Check it out!
