DJI Drones // History Deep Dive

[@LinusSchneider]

Well, that was quite an inspiring story. Meanwhile, I'm a computer science student and have a exam tomorrow, but rather watch your videos :D Keep up the great work!

[@AxelAxe]

Firebolt Prod. Haha. That was me every semester of college. Why can’t they quiz us in cool stuff at school right?

[@LinusSchneider]

@@AxelAxe I'm totally with you, man

[@OzoneLead]

Hey hope ya passed

[@LinusSchneider]

@@OzoneLead I did ;)

[@PhannyObsession]

What does GLONASS have to do with range? It's just a GPS system. It was Lightbridge that increased the range with the Phantom 3 Advanced & Pro

[@yoanperez172]

That's when you realize he doesn't know what he is talking about :-)

[@Zaprixa]

It means it uses the satelities from Russia as well giving a better Range and accuracy. Lightbridge is for the vids, idiots.

[@tobyhitchcock2958]

Great DJI history lesson!! You did skip some things. I have a DJI S800 EVO. Hex. It was their first pro UAV. The 900 and 1000 came out the year after. ;) And the Inspire 2 was never 2k. I wish. I have one. And without ANYTHING. It’s still $2600 right now. Add remote, camera, batteries, case, lens, ProRes license, SSD, your looking at 8-10k depending.

[@Slanzro]

Nice job but you missed the P4Pro, P4Pro+, P4Pro V2.0 etc :)

[@hunterm9]

Matrice 200, Zenmuse, Ronin, MG, Osmo, and more recently the digital FPV system. So much missing in this video, and it all very surface level stuff

[@mraneantisseur7554]

and mavic pro platinum

[@TheAirRunner1]

Indy Mogul popped into my head randomly after like 10 years and I'm so happy to see Eric is back

[@jeffgrave]

Great to see Erick back, he is the best!

[@PAWTeamUnited]

Yes the "Robot Selfie Stick" or the "CoolSelfieInator"

[@tombuck]

Very few companies innovate as consistently year over year as DJI. It’s crazy how far they’ve come!

[@AxelAxe]

The Enthusiasm Project no kidding. Wonder when they are going to release their own camera.

[@Quadcopterguide]

Yes! Finally a video about some DJI Drones :)

[@pranavnarayanmanandhar7446]

Great work guys. I am hooked with the History Deep Dive series.

[@techsavvydaddy5616]

Awesome video Eric, love the thorough breakdown and timeline....I too purchased and still use the original Mavic Pro...

[@kcg795]

Started with a Parrot AR Drone 2.0. Thought it was the best thing ever, but was only able to fly it with my phone and range was very limited. Then got a Phantom 2 H3-3D where I had to provide the GoPro and FPV hardware. Worked great, but since it only connected to GPS, it took forever to connect to at least 7 satellites in order to fly safely. I preferred at least 9 before I would take off. Another problem was that it was just too cumbersome to fly anywhere where I really wanted to get some awesome shots. It was just not convenient at all. I thought the Mavic Air would be a much better upgrade, but after doing some research, I found that it wasn't something I could trust. I didn't want a drone that uses enhanced Wi-Fi. So I waited for the Mavic 2 to come out that includes the new OccuSync 2.0. I ordered one the day it was released, the Mavic 2 Pro, and I have not regretted it since. I can just stuff it in my backpack when hiking and bust it out when I get to where we're going. Doesn't take hardly any room at all. I'm sure I've flown my Mavic 2 Pro more than I have flown my Phantom 2. I still have my Phantom 2 and I've been tempted to charge the batteries and take it for a flight. Last time I've flown it after flying my Mavic 2 Pro, it was kinda scary. It's a whole different animal. With the Mavic 2 Pro, you hardly have to make any corrections because it connects to so many satellites. The Phantom 2 still kinda drifts a little with what it can connect to. Now, fly the Mavic 2 in the arctic region like Fairbanks, AK and you may have to make some corrections because it may randomly drift as you're flying. GPS doesn't work so accurately up there, I found out.

[@woodycarr]

That was a great look at how far DJI has come in such a short time. Entertaining too. Thanks!

[@AxelAxe]

woodycarr for real. A few years ago those shots were crazy to get. The moment that Inspire 1 cane out it was like game over.

[@Miniac]

"Erick Beck - A Very Convincing Manikin" nice.

[@tonyadigitalnorway1155]

This was one of the most slick, informative and genuinely clever presentations I've ever seen. Quite brilliant!

[@andrewcollings4552]

Great to have you back, Erik!

[@tehtarikhijau2583]

Give this man more job.Love this guy

[@harisbilalovic]

Dji were making drones, while Eric was making lightsabers back in 2007, just give it a thought.

[@lessemo]

And now he is a jedi master 😎😎😎😎

[@aeror115]

Can’t wait for a DJI skynet Mavic T 800 drone with an heavy Austrian accent! Come on DJI let it happen 👍

[@jordanpermenter3003]

Im sitting here next to my DJI Mini 3 Pro, which cost less than the Phantom 1, with so many features in under a decade added it's truly amazing

[@webzuluog3674]

That was great video. Very informative and entertaining. I am new to drones just purchased my first DJI Mavic Air. Loving it.

[@ronniedai3683]

You missed couple not so important phantom variants but Phantom 4 Pro is too important to skip. They were able to manage to cramp 1" censor in that form factor which is unheard of.

[@pierce324]

All the different DJI models always confused me, this genuinely helps!

[@aerialunlimited8666]

Most reliable drone company out there!!!

[@davidogburn5374]

I love this series!

[@TheTedandfred]

I’d listen to Erik talk about anything in all honesty

[@lex.o1234]

Yep, fun to watch. Loving the new format

[@KonnorGann]

The comedy on this channel is ON POINT

[@ZombieFilms]

Awesome vid.....

[@deniss.6205]

Great, entertaining and complete video!...any news on how the future looks for in 2019 onwards?

[@lipardfilm]

F450 flamewheel, and S800 evo should have been mentioned, because both are important steps to the future drones.

[@kovacsgergely83]

Cool overview. Just a small comment on the M2 series: We have Mavic 2 Pro (M2P) with the 1" Hasselblad, Mavic 2 Zoom (M2Z) with the zoom camera, Mavic 2 Enterprise (M2E) with the attachments (this one sports the same gimbal, as M2Z), and also there is Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual (M2ED), which has a dual FLIR infra camera incorporated. beside the top line of the P4 series, I also miss a bit the M200-M210 lineup, which is an amazing enterprise donkey. Other than these, the episode was much fun to watch, keep up the good work. Subscribed. ;)

[@Mu3azOsman]

Loving this series 😂🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@KoishikAhmmad]

These are dope. Great job guys! Watched the blackmagic one the other day and digged it so much had to check this one out. I think the brands you guys are picking are what's making this super interesting. It's like these underdogs that came out of nowhere. I feel like canon or nikon or sony wouldn't be as interesting. What about RED? Not exactly an underdog story but could be interesting considering the dude came from sunglasses.

[@AxelAxe]

KoishikAhmmad for sure. DJI came out of nowhere and they swallowed GoPro.

[@callmefred]

Superb video!

[@shribalaji1718]

freaking inspiring

[@markgiles8527]

From 25 minutes of flight time on the Phantom 2 all the way up to 27 minutes flight time on the Phantom 4. Simply Awesome Development, simply awesome.

[@drained1177]

It's hard to make a battery better without making it bigger...

[@AdamViklund]

I just need to say this... Erik, I love you.

[@8b0i21]

Love these deep dives!

[@1031ProductionsLLC]

Funny yet entertaining

[@StravaigingMTB]

I film in my workshop, greenscreens workshop backdrop in....

[@Phrimeverse]

I had fun watching you... Specially the Profanity😄😄😄😄

[@notoriusc]

I remember when I first saw a dji drone on Indy mogul!!!! 😱

[@rjshather]

Thanks that was fun

[@autumngreenleaf3390]

Thanks. Very informative. One thing: why not leave the beep sound and foul words out. Better yet, why not leave the foul words out to begin with.

[@Ferdigrapher]

How does Glonass increase the flight range? It is a positioning system like GPS! The flight range of the Phantom 3 Profession and advanced where higher because of the use of lightbridge video transmission system instead of a WiFi based system.

[@jameslovell8682]

"They dropped the Inspire 1"....did it sustain much damage?......Hey man you're SO COOL! you are surely right down there with all the kids with the lingo and everything....why, you are in fact an Xennial! Whassup?

[@fikreslassieyemane4643]

wow you r great Errric.

[@thebeardfpv162]

Dude, you missed the flame wheel, the Naza, the Wookkong, the S800, and so much more. This was at best a shallow dive. :(

[@chriszoid6091]

And to a lesser extent, the Phantom 4 RTK and v2.0 aswell as the Mavic Pro Platnium

[@ch0pper116]

I Want an air so bad. I really want a Mavic 2 pro but I've never flone a drone rated for outdoor use really. So i think the air is a good spot to start.

[@filmmaker_howl1342]

this is so funny, so i subscribed for dji

[@katojuakhil9277]

Make more dude Davinci, dji, next arri

[@mribi]

This is awesome. Please do Fujifilm or Godox

[@matiasmariani08]

Great video. Best part, you are hilarious. Oh yeah, I have a mavic air. It's awesome

[@Flickfilmsproduction]

good brother

[@DroneJunkieRc]

Great video 😂

[@hectoremilio1]

We need an update of this video featuring the Mavic Mini 😎

[@SergioNayar]

Awesome storytelling style LOL

[@DiviPhotos]

Cool video

[@capt.Millenial]

I love my future Tello

[@daniquegodwin]

That ending haha

[@MurrayFrost]

I need to get one for my videos and tutorials

[@NateandNoahTryLife]

Drones are one of those things that I’m just not sure I can justify at this point, but damn do I want one haha.

[@AxelAxe]

Nate and Noah Try Life maybe get a used Mavic??

[@alanaoleanderandfig9078]

OK, But you did not address my conspiracy theory.. That is every time I upgrade to a new DJI product, within three days they will release a newer version of that product. Hilarious commentary by the way. 😂

[@apunggs]

Get it know...

[@andresgomezorea4195]

And the mavic 2 zoom?

[@AutoRestoMod]

OK, that was fun...and I don't even use drones...

[@danipe6416]

[@collinsnjarara3352]

What about yuneec drones.

[@nechemiahseltzer]

Why didn't you guys talk about the ronin's ?

[@rifaldychannel8668]

Mantap bro salam kenal 👍✌️

[@bfdsystems2972]

Forgot S800 :( Also Ace one and Flame wheels

[@bfdsystems2972]

But great video non the less!

[@andresgomezorea4195]

What? The inspire 2 was release on november, months later Than the phantom 4

[@MackerelSkyLtd]

Andres Gómez Orea and has obstacle avoidance, too.

[@DouginaBoxster]

How did you know I wear cargo shorts? Are you spying on me? Are you watching me now?

[@MosesFrancis8]

Their biggest strength was marketing that made many people assume it was an American made drone.

[@peacehappiness9213]

What about the mavic mini? Like really?

[@muhammadvidad9320]

there is also DJI tello

[@mrheng562]

Is that a new rendition of "The Running Man?"

[@xavealda3255]

ryze tello

[@devPunks]

KNEED?

[@carlraetzsch]

6:47 watter???

[@NJDRONEMAN]

Look on into DJI fpv drone

[@DimaPavlenko]

I didn't know this whole episode was shot on a green screen lol tried to figure out how they managed to do the shot when he says "much much bigger". Well now I know:)

[@malimish]

My phantom 2 maybe could fly for 12 minutes. Nothing close to 25. To their credit, I don't think they actually claimed that kinda flight time.

[@MrJoan5555]

DJI Tello??

[@andresgomezorea4195]

¿Qué? The inspire 2 fue lanzado en noviembre, meses más tarde que the phantom 4

[@stargate12A]

you miss Phantom 4 adv and PRO

[@HoundDogMech]

I'll bet one thing you don't know about DJI Drones ... DJI drones over 250g after 1 Jan 2020 will have a Feature called ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) in other words the FAA and every airliner in the US air space will be able to see your drone. You will be able to see every (No matter the size) man carrying airplane that is ADS-B equipped on your controller screen. The FAA is Watching.

[@DivyanshMMMUT]

Where is tello

[@takoza5396]

thinking of buying a spark fly more

[@WarlordSh4Dow]

Surprised you didn't mention the LIDAR and thermal cameras that the new Mavics can come with. Bit disappointing.

[@hourof10]

No love for the Tello

[@DamadapakingDLB]

I wish i had a drone

[@greyhameavandhat1220]

aerial

[@hedgehog_dilemma]

well in China, alot of people call Dji a " military company in disguised" with robomaster and tello

[@floridajames04]

You spelled “Aerial” wrong in your video... this isn’t the Little Mermaid. 😂

[@nobbystyles4807]

missed out the best bit. before the mavic pro 2 dji bought juuuuuust enough shares of hassleblad to be majority stake holder. which meant they could put the hassleblad name on whatever they wanted. so they put it on the mavic pro 2 camera and everyone fell for it...... id be amazed if hassleblad did anything more than sent a couple of techs over to oversee production..... still, one born everyminute i guess.

[@maxmalmberg4755]

DeeP drive in to freefly systems

[@llamaland9591]

Good video but drones are bad. What happens when drone come into your home in middle of night while you sleep? Putting drone with camera bad idea. We need protection

[@HockeyPop29]

Every time my Mavic Air takes off, it faces me and says, "I'll be back." before flying off. It's all beginning to make sense...
