Crashing DJI’s New Enterprise Drone - DJI Matrice 3D & Dock 2 First Impressions

[@Baleur]

Line of Sight is such a dumb rule it boggles the mind. If the drone has a camera, you by definition have line of sight. The entire purpose of drones is to go where you cant physically go.

[@billykyle]

Yeah this is a big hindrance

[@DakarBlues]

FPV camera is the one really helping in environment awareness since it is always oriented forward, to the difference of the payload cameras which are zeroing on mission target/subject. 3D and 3TD have some new AI capabilities, 3D map navigation (hence the name?) and vision positioning that might have helped DJI do away with FPV. I guess serious test data has funded their decision. But indeed lack of range finder, tracking, subject-counting and limited zoom capability markedly degrade surveillance and policing efficiency. If I could talk to Dji, I would draw their attention on that, I just hope new payloads are coming. Interchangeable payload and new densors (mm-wave radar?) would ebb the technological tide in their favor, for the moment Autel Robotics is killing it.

[@jackyharuhiko]

I always think this requirement is a joke that cannot be enforced.

[@philippefrancken.]

I’m currently in the process of writing up a proposal for one of my clients who could use this. I’ve also contacts a “drone trainings centre” to assist me with getting the right permission. Can’t wait to present it to my client!

[@billykyle]

Cool, best of luck!

[@DakarBlues]

It's a shame they are discontinuing the Dock-1. Some features of the 30T don't exist on the 3TD (range finder, FPV camera, redundant IMU and compass, limp-mode, dual GPS receiver for azimuth indication, better zoom and tracking capability …), all features making it easier to obtain BVLOS certification and to police from above. In my opinion, the Dock 1 is worth the price differential, I was working on an urban policing project that was banking on those Dock-1 features 😤

[@billykyle]

Interesting take. I wonder if this is a step back to take 2 steps forward. Perhaps a future version will start to implement those features back in as the technology is improved.

[@tong.clement]

Maybe talk to DJI if u haven’t already?

[@antonykeane5586]

Surely this drone has redundant IMU & compass still…

[@tong.clement]

@@antonykeane5586 +1 - even the DJI spark has that?

[@DakarBlues]

@@antonykeane5586 yet still no FPV, no range finder, no superior zoom capability, no throng counting, no limp mode that we know of. There was mention of 3D map navigation enhancement, intelligent avoidance system, and sideways collision sensors, along with integrated new additional Flighthub2 features.

[@theone2be33]

DJI sure has come a LONG way since the original Phantom drones! Incredible

[@billykyle]

That’s for sure

[@X862go]

I know i just got the avata 2 and i am blown away

[@venom-kc7ri]

is it ban in US?

[@EUCvibes]

What is good for stopping drones, a net gun? Or some electric wave thing?

[@Baleur]

Anything will work, but the one downside is that you'll be stopped yourself, and put in a nice jail cell for destroying someones property and endangering the people / property below the drone. Enjoy

[@johnkerrins686]

Thanks for the peek into this solution. We really need a full POC test on this. Interaction with software. Transfer of data and any other steps before deploying. This could be used for my offshore accounts, but need robust testing first.

[@JoePelusoMedia]

Such an incredible piece of tech!

[@billykyle]

Right 🤯

[@11skyparte11]

Is it possible to connect the drone with any goggles, for example the DJI G3?

[@Maxat_Ospanov]

We are engaged in the construction of asphalt roads. Is this station applicable in our case, so that the manager sits in the office and monitors the progress of construction? Is it possible to use this station at sites with a weak 4g signal? (Google translator)

[@garycummings1706]

Don’t know if they have thought of it, but an aural warning after chute deployment would allow people on the ground to get out of the way.

[@billykyle]

Yeah some will come equipped with a buzzer as an audible warning

[@mattplaygamez]

And are you going to review the DJI flycart 30

[@billykyle]

Hahaha that would be fun

[@harisfrincu3376]

What is the averege time of using one battery?

[@billykyle]

Estimated flight time is 50 minutes. Real world use is probably more like 38-40 when accounting for landing with 20% remaining.

[@randyflores9444]

Sorry for the bother I have a question on a Mavic Air3 seeing all your videos I think you can help me out if it’s possible

[@360PictureUK]

Why don't DJI have a Thermal drone in this size category with a mechanical shutter?!

[@billykyle]

Why would you need one

[@360PictureUK]

@@billykyle So I don't have to buy two drones, I'll be buying the M3T soon mainly for inspection work but may need a Mech Shutter for land surveying, so I'll also need the M3E.

[@khoatran-sv7je]

We have the Matrice 3D now which is a slightly larger size than mavic 3 with more tools and functionality but less portability due to non-folding arms. The one thing that caught my eye was the IP 54 rating. Now if DJI makes an IP 54 rated photography drone, drone photography/videography will reach heights no other will reach. Literally, if they make the Mavic 4, Air 4 or Mini 5 water resistant, I'd happily upgrade. Also what is the rule "No flying over people"? You're literally flying over others as you do commercial work such as surveying, photogrammetry mapping - I get that it's to reduce hazards related to drones but it just doesn't make sense whatsoever, ESPECIALLY since this drone is designed for commercial work, not for hobbyists. There should be a new classification for drones doing commercial work such as I1 for "Industry work".

[@HANOXTWO]

Drone still came down pretty quick! Parachute should have an audible alarm when deployed so people will look up and can avoid being hit on the cranium!🥴

[@billykyle]

Yup

[@Islandpandemonium]

I believe in a bigger parachute.

[@ClassicCyclingCC]

I enjoyed the video but if I may your delivery made me nervous. It is choppy and a hyper. A tad smoother would really make the video more pleasant. Just my take for what it is worth. Cheers.

[@mattplaygamez]

Are u going to do a review on it dock 2?

[@billykyle]

This is that video

[@maddmavic]

It shpuld also have a fkoat device in it that inflates so if it's over water and comes down

[@Harry-lmao]

Certainly beneficial for companies that can make use of, not private people, although it is affordable.

[@billykyle]

I agree

[@Gohasuka]

dock 3 better be much lighter so it can be mounted on cars and use the car battery to charge perpetually.

[@VincentMartinFree]

That's very cool 😎 Billy

[@billykyle]

Thanks!

[@maddmavic]

Ok Kyle. We k ow u got the avata 2. Break that thing out and give us some info. Prices something. We know u got it bro 😂

Can I fly this with just my table

I flew this SAME EXACT drone 4 years ago. 🤔

[@billykyle]

Oh yeah?

[@SamLeporeGroup]

Don’t believe me, bro?

[@KentRoads]

When has a battery ever fallen out of a flying drone? 😂😂😂

[@MrEddieNunez]

Awesome

[@dhansel4835]

The whole thing about getting your part 107 certification is way out in left field. The modern drones from DJI can fly out of the range of site. However you are looking at your smart controller or tablet so you know where it is, the altitude, distance, speed and height. You know not to fly in raining weather or high winds. That's common sense. You know not to hover over traffic or people. Another common sense thing. Why do you need to know how to read a sectional map? You are not going anywhere. Just take and pass the TRUST test and use common sense. More airplane crashes have taken place by pilot error or airplane mechanical error than running into a little drone.

[@Money_BoyGamingTV]

I need this

[@CyborgClipss]

Day 74 of asking for you to please buy me a dji mini 2.

[@Baleur]

Can you please buy me an Avata?

[@scottw595]

I will be happy to wait for you to buy me a Avata 2 also, thx.

[@mrmurder75]

Wtf is wrong with you people? You aren't owed anything. Buy the things you want yourself, like the rest of us have to.

[@scottw595]

@@mrmurder75 you are so absolutely correct. I will unsubscribe and just buy my own new drone!!! It’s called sarcasm duh!!!!!!
