The leaked images are very similar in style to the Osmo mobile 3 leak, so i think we'll see it this year, probably in plenty of time for christmas.
I had a go at it a little more and thought about this new tiny Mavic look-alike and if anybody thinks about it, DJI has increased the battery weight as a percentage of the drone's total weight in each of its last few releases, with the Mavic 2 having the largest battery as a percentage to the overall weight of the drone at almost 30%.
Judging from the looks of this drone and the rumoured less than 250g weight, many said the weight will be 245g then I believe we'll see the battery weight then coming in at or almost 50% of the total weight of the drone, or I'd estimate 115g for the battery and 135g for the drone. It would appear DJI has managed to improve upon the technology of the Tello by minimizing the size and weight of its obstacle avoidance, mainboard, motors, and airframe altogether.
If this drone packs in that light of a form factor then I'd imagine it couldn't travel as fast as the Spark's top speed of 31mph, although I wouldn't be surprised if it just came in south of that perhaps at 26mph or 27mph? I pick that number because that is the speed at which the Mavic 2 travels at 26.7mph on its RTH, so DJI would create a drone that wouldn't sacrifice much in performance if its RTH speed can reach and equal its top speed of the same 26.7mph? Therefore, we'll probably see a drone fly at little less than performance of the heavier Spark, perhaps ~15 minutes flight time, 1 to 1.5 miles in range, with that top speed? |
