What Xiaomi Mi drone 4k interests you?

Xiaomi Mi drone was introduced on May 2016 with two variants, the 4K and the 1080p.Now the 1080P is available while the 4K will be on sale on March 3 this year.

Here are 7 cool features of the Xiaomi Mi Drone 4K.

Portability

The Mi Drone is extremely lightweight and modular. The complete drone can be disassembled to fit into a backpack. In fact, Xiaomi will itself offer a backpack for the Mi Drone at a $15.

Camera 

The Xiaomi Mi Drone 4K has an inbuilt camera that consists of 12 megapixels of resolution and a 12.4 megapixel Sony sensor. This ensures that the picture you capture will be of a very high quality. Moreover, the drone is capable of shooting in 4K; thus, providing videos with high resolutions. Though there are many more drones that offer better video resolutions, but the Xiaomi Mi drone 4K will certainly satisfy you with most of your video recording needs. The camera is mounted on motorized three-axis gimbals so that you get amazing images. Moreover, to make traveling easier with your quad, you can remove the cameras and fold the landing gear.

Flight time

With the Xiaomi, you’ll have a flight time of 27 min. However, you can deplete battery life at a much faster rate when using features such as automatic departure and return. Just like a phone, when you push it to a certain limit, you’re going to see battery life diminish. It comes with a 17.4V 5199 mAh rechargeable battery that takes about three and a half hours to charge. Just like most other quads, we recommend buying a backup or two.

Long Range FPV Video Feed

Xiaomi states that the 4K variant provides a control range of up to 2 kilometers with live video. With this, Xiaomi is gonna give all the drone manufacturers a run for their money!

What’s more, the controller of the Mi Drone comes with an attachment for a smartphone which can act as a viewfinder (aka FPV monitor) for your Mi Drone!

Safty

The Xiaomi Mi drone 4K has both GPS and GLONASS for location tracking and maneuvering of the drone. Hovering is a cakewalk due to the onboard location sensors, and it also means that the drone knows at each point where exactly it is flying.

One thing we don’t see on most of the drones, however, is the ability to create a geofence to limit the movement of your drone. If your drone strays beyond that geofence, then it will automatically return to its home base.

Running the drone on low battery triggers its return function, and you will be relieved to find it back safe and sound.

Smarter in-flight

Mi Drone 4K has an auto-pilot feature included along with the easy to use flight controls. It has automatic takeoff and is also capable of landing and returning to you with just a simple command from the handheld controls.

And when you want to capture the right moment, it circles around the object to give you the perfect shots. Flight planning too gets simplified thanks to Xiaomi’s great technology.

Price

Xiaomi has priced the the 4K variant at $460. The price is less than half the prices of the majority of professional drones out there.
