DJI Phantom 4 Pro-A Spring Trip to Dapeng (Shooting Equipment)

Did everyone watch the spring trip video? If not, click the link and watch.

This video was shot by two gadgets.

Aerial footages were captured by DJI Phantom 4 Pro, and the ground footages by SONY a7s M2.

Here we will introduce you the powerful equipment we used.

DJI Phantom 4 Pro

The camera on the Phantom 4 Pro

Sensor size comparison. A CMOS sensor is imbedded in the Phantom 4 Pro camera which is the same with the SONY RX100‘s, leaving more room for photography. It collects more lights and brings stunning images like never before.

You can find a lot of backlight footages in the video, compared to the Phantom 4, the Phantom 4 Pro preserves more details of the shades.

A Photo

The resolution of this photo is 5472 × 3078, the size is 7.5MB. You can even see the details of the remote controller when enlarging it. It’s obvious that the photo shot by Phantom 4 Pro is in high quality and ready for printing.

Maneuver / Control

I have flown Inspire 2 and Mavic Pro for a very long time, however, I was still amazed by the powerful propulsion and quick response of the Phantom 4 Pro.

In this task, we had to shoot from the west gate to the east gate, the Phantom 4 Pro was able to be in the camera set very quickly, saving us a large amount of time and work.

I have to say DJI engineers really worked hard on building the Phantom 4 Pro – it is the best out of Phantom series with abilities to response and move instantly.

Narrow streets and messy power lines make the old town a less ideal flying area. But with its ability to sense in five directions and avoid obstacles in four directions, the Phantom 4 Pro made its flight worry-free.

What’s worth mentioning here is that the video transmission didn’t get interrupted when the aircraft passing through the gate and flying over the roofs. It is a proof of the enhanced anti-interference ability of the Phantom 4 Pro.

However, I disenabled the obstacle avoidance when getting this one-take shot, it was not safe actually, please don’t try imitate my operation, or else your drone may end up with a crash.

Integrated Remote Controller

This integrated remote controller makes an awkward answering a friend’s call during flight a long gone history.

This time we’d brought five batteries.

I applaud for the flight time. Five batteries are enough for a long day shooting with a surprise of the remote controller still showing two LED lights on.

SONY a7s M2 full-frame compact camera with anti-shake functionality in five axis.

It’s capable of shooting video at 1080p, 120 fps, and it’s quite heavy when mounted with a FE24-70 2.8 GM lens. Thanks to the Phantom 4 Pro’s stable hovering capability, when capturing the drone’s flight altitude, I can just put the remote controller aside and use the Sony a7s M2 to shoot the drone. As for footages of flying drones, I can control the drone by one hand, and use the other hand to control the Sony a7s M2.

However, if you don’t have a professional camera at hand, you can also use an iPhone to shoot slow motion videos, the image quality is good as well.

Summary

To me, the greatest improvement of Phantom 4 Pro is its camera, I believe most photography enthusiasts will agree with me on this point. The image quality achieved by the Phantom 4 Pro can fulfill most people’s need, can even compete with the Inspire 2.

The CMOS sensor that also used in SONY RX100 makes the Phantom 4 Pro’s camera a top aerial camera in the market, I believe the 1 inch sensor is a perfect balance of the size and performance.

SONY RX100 was once selected to be the best backup camera for professional photographers, and the Phantom 4 Pro is also absolutely the best back up aerial camera for professional aerial photographers, for example, in the first phase of a big aerial photography project, you can use the Phantom 4 Pro to check around the shooting site and help with composition, make preparation for formal aerial shooting, what’s more, the footages taken by the Phantom 4 Pro can also be used as backups.

A little supplement here, for general non-professional users, the Mavic Pro is still the best choice.

Whether a new product is worth buying or not depends on your specific needs, it will be your best companion when it fulfills your needs.

Today’s drone market is a segmented market, which is good news to us.

If you are a drone beginner, and have high requirements for the portability, then you should not look for anything besides Mavic Pro.

If you have high requirements for image quality and relatively lower requirements for portability (Compared to the Inspire series), then then Phantom 4 Pro is quite a nice choice.

However, if you are a professional photographer, then don’t hesitate to get an Inspire 2 or a M600 PRO.

Yearly review on drone and VR/AR: which industry is heavily bubbled?

2016 was a hard year for many drone companies: Zano and Lily failed to bring out products, GoPro is having problem re-launch its Karma. 3D Robotics decided to quit the competition of consumer drones and turn to industrial drones. Other companies, including Zerotech, Yuneec and Parrot, reduced their work force. Media begin to hold doubts on the industry—is it heavily bubbled? It’s already March of 2017, what will drone companies do this year? How will the industry perform?

Influence of capital

VR and AR industry had very similar experience like drone industry from 2015 to 2016. Once so promising, VR/AR suddenly entered winter in later half of 2016. HTC Vive has got really good sales numbers, but HTC’s financial quarter report shows the income fell by 64% year on year. Facebook shut down over 200 experience stores. Just like Recode once pointed out, VR age is still far away.

The reshuffle of drone market could be a result of globally decreased investment. According to KPMG, venture investment has plummeted compared to 2015.  Hot money were thrown into drone, VR and AR in 2015, stirring intense completions.

According to Market Watch, the investment for drone market has dropped drastically in late 2016. VR and AR are having shrinking investment. Large proportion of these companies are start-ups. When investment stops pumping in, the supply chain, would be endangered. Drone start-ups will fall into deep financial crisis.

Facing similar difficulties, the environment of drone market is quite different from that of VR/AR.

Is drone market heavily bubbled?

What kind of AR/VR products do we want? In what scenario do we need them for? These are questions we are still trying to figure out. But drones are quite different, they have simple appearance and clear features: they are convenient, reliable and intelligent aircrafts.

In my point of view, VR /AR industry is based ‘future demands’, which are not very urgent today. But Intelligent aircrafts are already improving efficiency of various industries: military, agriculture, security control, search and rescue, television and filming etc. The demand for UAVs has been expanding steadily since 2013. IDC Report of 2016 pointed out that DJI’s market share in China dropped for a while. This aroused doubt that drone industry has peaked. In fact, the reasons behind could be much more complex.

Foldable Mavic Pro was a blast to drone industry. It has sparked unexpected enthusiasm, even DJI was surprised by flooding orders of Mavic Pro, so it has been out of stock for quite a while. Fool.com estimates that DJI’s revenue in 2016 may hit $10 billion, increasing ten times of what was anticipated. For now it’s hard to tell how big drone industry is, but Mavic Pro at least proved that consumer drones are truly needed.

So drone market didn’t reach saturation. 2016 witnessed a very unique drone market influenced by capital.

Supply chain

UAV and AR/VR products are very different in terms of production. When a drone company is short of fund, it might be faced with huge pressures from its supply chain.

There are various VR/AR products on market now, many of which are low-end products. These products do not need highly advanced technologies and cost little. Even high-end product like panorama camera is not very difficult to handle—at least not dangerous. So short of fund is not that precarious for VR/AR companies.

Drones are quite different. If a drone crashes during flight, it could lead to serious consequence. Thus, consumers are expecting high-quality drones. Which means the process of R&D and production must be highly strict.

With lower costs, VR/AR products are sold at lower prices than UAVs, which means mass production is easier. The price of drones is less flexible with high costs. When the comments of a drone are not positive, it’s really hard to sell. This in return puts lots of pressure on supply chain.

The threshold for drone market is actually really high. Only mature companies are able to control supply chain and manage their products. In 2015, DJI sold its Phantom 3 Professional at $1259, while 3D Robotics sold its solo drone at $1700. Chris Anderson, CEO of 3D Robotics commented that ‘no one but DJI won this brutal price war’. By early 2016, the stock of solo drone has reached 60,000, draining up the cash of 3D Robotics. Soon 3DR quit consumer drone market silently.

Will DJI remain the unicorn?

Drone technologies are more mature than that of AR/VR, and have been used for quite a few years. As the profit rate decreases, it would be harder and harder for others to keep up with DJI. With inferior technologies, these drones are less attractive to consumers, which in return affect R&D input. The gap between DJI and new drone companies will be widened.

Taking Xiaomi Drone for example. As a smartphone giant, Xiaomi has huge advantages on supply chain. So many were very optimistic about it entering drone industry. However, the result was not satisfying. It turned out that Xiaomi Drone has similar features and functions of Phantom 3, which was released in 2015. Public started to realize Xiaomi is lagged far behind of DJI in terms of technology.

Other portable drones like Dobby and Breeze have unsatisfying features: short video transmission range, short flight time and low-quality footage. By the end of 2016, both companies had to lay off. But Mavic Pro showed the market how DJI managed to miniaturize a drone without compromising its performance. Media around world gave it positive reviews, TIME magazine even named Mavic Pro as one of the ‘Best Inventions of 2016’. Its success once again proved DJI has far advanced technologies than the rest.

With lower profit rate, drone companies are more vulnerable than AR/VR companies are. When the investors are throwing in less money, the R&D and production of new drones will be severely influenced, which would eventually lay bad influence the sales of new products.

What will drone market like in 2017?

In conclusion, 2016 marked the reshuffle of drone market. The market remain stable, but has changed a lot since two years ago. In 2014, DJI was only slightly ahead than others. When it came to 2016, other companies were left way behind.

As many companies have been driven out of drone market, those who have survived mainly choose to develop industrial drones (just like 3D Robotics did). Can they find their places in the market of industrial applications? Is industrial drone market an ‘asylum’ for these companies? We will have to wait and see.

When the investment slows down, companies that are weak in R&D and supply chain would be ruled out. The reshuffle of drone market is not necessarily bad: it makes room for strong competitors in terms of market share, talent and capital.

Review on OnePlus 3T Smartphone

With 16M pixels for both front and rear cameras, OnePlus 3T is really good tool to capture your life moments.

Appearance

With most smartphones being white, OnePlus 3T ‘s black shell looks really delicate.

Except the handset and front camera, sensors have been hidden inside, showing a sense of simplicity.

AMOLED screen is actually less blue that the picture.

The home button can’t be pressed down, just as any of their smartphones.

But the button and screen used different materials (glass for screen and porcelain for home button), so the home button seems a little bit inconsistent.

The home button of iPhone 7 Plus can’t be presses down, either. But with an in-built TAPTIC ENGINE, its home button would react with different levels of vibration according to your strength.

But the linear motor of OnePlus 3T only provides one level of vibration.

But it recognize finger prints really fast.

The screen uses 2.5D glass. The dispensing layer (to absorb shakings) is really thick—it seems the company is afraid it may fall apart if user drops it.

The color of shell is gunmetal (darker than normal grey) and really smooth to touch.

It also has clear lines and an edgy look, guys may prefer a smartphone like this.

The colors of OnePlus 3T looks really eye-pleasing.

Although the metal shell is not very comfortable to hold.

The button in picture above is very special: you can switch between Mute/Silent/Ring. Innovative design like this is pretty nice.

Unfortunately, the rear camera sticks out a little bit, making the smartphone very unstable when put on table.

HydrogenOS

The desktop of HydrogenOS looks quite good.

Great color schemes, cool layout. HydrogenOS 2.5 provides multiple choices, desktop mode has also been optimized.

There is nothing really surprising except the Hydrogen Desktop.

Slide to the right, you will access to Hydrogen Window (looks similar to iOS)

The UI seems simple. There is no Cloud access nor screenshots, using dual-system or using dual apps simultaneously is also not applicable.

In conclusion, HydrogenOS 2.5 seems a half-finished system to me.

Now let’s look at its camera.

Camera

This camera would be a flagship smartphone camera in early 2016 (like Xiaomi 5)

But this year, iPhone 7 Plus have obviously become the leader.

OnePlus 3T’s camera is fine, but not advancing.

Now let’s see photo samples.

First sample group: (shot in a cloudy day)

From left to right:

Xiaomi Note2 > OnePlus 3T > iPhone 7 Plus

The white balance of 3T is terrible. Except that, the photo looks OK.

Xiaomi Note2 had trouble focusing on the flowers, but presented vivid colors.

The photo shot by iPhone 7 Plus was a little overexposed, the saturation was low, too.

Second sample group

Xiaomi Note2 > OnePlus 3T > iPhone 7 Plus

Three pictures were quite similar.

There is a HQ (High Quality) feature in 3T’s camera.

When you use this function, the camera would shot several pictures quickly, then generate one photo of higher definition. Is it really useful? Let’s have a look:

The difference between HQ and Non-HQ photo of 3T is quite clear.

Despite its 16M pixels, 3T has a much lower resolution than iPhone 7 Plus and Xiaomi Note 2 (22.4M pixels).

Photos processed by 3T’s software is still not satisfying, which means hardware is much more important.

3T’s official photo sample

Charging

OnePlus 3T’s Dash Charge uses a 5V/4A standard (while that of Qualcomm is 9V/2A), it increases the current while decreasing the voltage.

Picture above shows charging process of 3T, Samsung S7 Edge and Google Pixel XL. You can get 3T charged to 80% in 60 minutes while playing game. That’s impressive.

Anyway, if you want to want to use Dash Charge, you will need stick with OnePlus’s  Dash Power Bundle.

If you use other chargers, the charging speed of 3T will be much slower.

Just like any other smartphone, OnePlus 3T is not perfect. It has a nice appearance and innovative Hydrogen OS system. But the camera is hardly satisfying.

With a few flaws, it can still be a cool choice for some consumers.

What We Talk About When We Talk About Drone Safety

Frequent accidents of drone crashing in airports previously have drawn the public’s attention to drone safety. For the sake of safety, some media pointed out that the government should enforce the drone license to keep drone flight under strict supervision. Some aerial photography fans also appeal for self-disciplined flight. There are also professionals from an economic perspective worrying that the “across-the-board” restrictions might ruin the whole drone industry.

Well, what we talk about when we talk about drone safety?

What a drone means to us on earth?

Most people tend to view drone safety from the perspective of model aircrafts. They think that flying drones is just a hobby and it should be strictly regulated for the sake of safety. Well, are pilots with drone licenses really safer than beginners? From an economic perspective, is the drone industry really similar to the toy industry?

Though China has been leading the way in global civilian drones, most people still treat drones as “model aircrafts”. How’s the situation in Europe and American area? Just take a look at the disputes on drone regulation between Amazon and the American government in recent years, you can know that they don’t take drones merely as “model aircrafts” and they put much more emphasis on the “automation” of drones.

“Drones” add enormous automation functions to traditional model aircrafts, so they are both “model aircrafts” and “robot”. Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, drones have realized many automation functions, such as auto stabilization, auto obstacle avoidance, flight route management and one-click Return to Home (RTH). (See the photo below)

Though pilots can still directly operate their drones at present, they can only control part of the functions because most of the functions can be realized through computers—we can even preset the flight routes and tasks so that pilots don’t need any operations after the drones take off.

The key to understanding drone safety is not that it is a “model aircraft” but that it is a “robot”.

Drones are more than a business.

Many people attribute the importance of civilian drone industry to China’s leading role in the world. But actually drone industry matters not only for economic factors.

Civilian drone industry is more than a toy industry. It is the practice and application of top technologies for robots, AI, chip and wireless transmission and automation in aerospace. Just think about where these top technologies are applied on ground.

This is an Autopliot Driving car (photo above).

Self-driving cars has become a hotly contested spot for different countries. Self-driving cars can turn the city into a completely automatic one and the patented technology and standards involved will become the blood transfusion tube for the whole smart city in the future. Hence, the applications of automation technology on ground are strategically crucial for every country.

Since the automation technology on ground matters so much for countries’ development, what role does aerial automation technology play in future smart city? According to Samsung’s SmartThings Future Living Report, drones are also an important part of smart cities apart from their aerial photography functions.

Are aerial drones just model aircrafts? According to Ford Motors who has been endeavoring to develop self-driving cars and smart cities in the United States in recent years, aerial drones are more than model aircrafts. And Ford Motors has joined hands with DJI on developing a linkage between drones and self-driving cars. (See photo below)

At present, 3D Robotics, Qualcomm and Intel compete to become the “Android in the sky”. According to the Nikkei Business Daily report, Japan is also joining the battle for drones’ industrial standards and strategic area in the sky. Even though China is leading the way in global civilian drones at present, our knowledge of drones are greatly lagging behind others.

Is it really necessary to abandon China’s civilian drone industry just for the sake of “drone safety”? In this case, we are not merely giving up a 10-billion US Dollars industry, but our important strategic advantages in the sky.

Why does a drone crash into an airport?

Let get back to the drone safety. How to avoid a drone crash in the airport? Is it enough to set the No-Fly Zone, or enforce a drone license?

But the question is actually: why does a drone crash into an airport?

There have been strict regulations long before prohibiting drone flight near an airport, but we still cannot avoid such accidents. So “lack of regulations” is not the key answer to this mistake.

Today’s drones are very advanced and easy to operate. Most people are aware of the No-Fly Zone near an airport. So “lack of a drone license” is not the key answer to this mistake, either.

According to an article on iFanr, drones should be regulated, but it’s hard. The reason is that the small-size and agile drones are difficult to be observed or banned. Besides, drones are quite easy to operate, even a child can learn how to operate in 15 minutes, making it hard for law enforcement agencies to enforce a drone license.

Do you really think that No-fly Zones can prevent such accidents? If a drone license works, there wouldn’t be people studying the anti-drone system or even planning to track and catch drones with trained eagles. (Photo above)

The sky is not like a road where enormous light signals and road signs are set, so it’s difficult to guide the pilots to plan their flight routes. The most effective way at present is to make use of drones’ intelligent technology—set a Geo Fencing in the sky through GPS positioning. However, this method depends on the condition that the civil aviation agencies set the No-fly Zone and the drone companies manage the Geo Fencing.

In short, drone safety is not about “regulations”, but about management.

Car accidents are also dangerous. So should we ban automobiles on the road to avoid car accidents? Traffic safety requires for proper management, thorough road planning and reasonable regulatory guides instead of a sweeping approach. Even so, we can only reduce drunk driving, overspeed driving and reckless driving.

As proper management is of vital importance for traffic safety, self-driving cars have drawn much attention from the science and technology field because only the most advanced self-driving technology can avoid drunk, overspeed and reckless driving and properly manage automobile. (Photo above)

Similarly, the key to drone safety is drone management: even though the government set No-fly Zone across the country, it can only be carried out through intelligent drone technology.

If we can realize precise no-fly area, why not carry out precise drone management? Why civil aviation agencies don’t cooperate with drone companies to make powerful and intelligent drones avoid airplanes’ flight routes more effectively? Why should we recklessly turn an area of about 1000 square meters into a No-fly Zone? Moreover, even some skyscrapers are higher than the 300-meter flight height limit for drones.

Maybe we won’t ever get the answers. We are underestimating the drone industry by treating drones as “model aircrafts”. No one attempts to cooperate with drone companies to involve drones into the civil aviation management system (Photo above).

If we cannot even manage drones properly, how could we forbid drones in No-fly Zone?

In this case, do you still think drones are just “model aircrafts”?

In 2017, DJI plans to apply the ADS-B aviation management system (photo below) in its drones. Yet those who have been bragging about distinguishing drones from “model aircrafts” are sneering at DJI’s ADS-B solutions now: “it costs too much”, “no one will use” and “it is just a fancy”. Yet many have forgotten about FAA’s expressly agreed term: in 2020, all civil passenger planes must install the ADS-B system.

We are not sure when the ADS-B system will be popularized, but we are sure that it’s the future for both aviation management and smart cities. If we only start to join the ADS-B OUT after it’s universally used on civil airplanes, the drones will lag far behind the aviation management and continue to be underestimated by most people.

In addition, if we still think of drones as “model aircrafts”, we will probably be kicked out by European and American countries from the drone industry.

Yuneec Typhoon H: when two extra propellers don’t compensate for camera and control issues

Yuneec Typhoon H is a hexacopter and the landing gear retracts during flight. The design – with six rotors as opposed to four in the DJI Phantom 4 – is supposed to be futuristic. But this apparent aesthetic appeal of the Yuneec Typhoon H is easily lost among in the complexity to handle the drone. To make it worse, the additional weight caused by the six propellers actually compromised the flying time and altitude limit of the drone.

As experienced by many pilots, the sheer weight of the Yuneec Typhoon H makes it more cumbersome to travel with, as evidenced by a DJI Phantom 4 comparison. A Yuneec Typhoon H unboxing may manage to impress the user at first glance. The carbon-fiber material looks neat. The build quality looks good. The controller feels and includes a built-in screen.

However, the impressions start to turn negative when a simple DJI Phantom 4 vs Yuneec Typhoon H benchmarking is carried out. The concerns start appearing soon after a quick inspection of the Typhoon H remote controller. Also, the various ways of controlling the DJI UAV compared to how the Typhoon H is handled make an interesting comparison.

As seen in almost any DJI Phantom 4 review, the drone’s neat and compact control has thoroughly impressed UAV experts and pilots alike. Compared to Yuneec Typhoon H reviews on forums like DroneCompares or yuneecpilots.com, DJI Phantom 4 has received overwhelmingly positive responses. The icing on the cake is the cool DJI Go app, which allows users to do a lot of stuff from their smartphones or tablets. Moreover, features like ActiveTrack or TapFly – that are nowhere to be found on a Typhoon H – make flying the Phantom a cakewalk. Yuneec drone relies solely on GPS and instances of signal loss are far too frequent.

The deal-breaker for the Yuneec Typhoon H actually comes through its video. Its 4K video quality doesn’t appear as crisp and clear as they’re supposed to. The colors look washed out. And the frames look edgy. One Typhoon H reviewer on a popular social media network actually complained that he “couldn’t capture close to the level of video quality that was possible even with the Phantom 3.” The camera is a modular one, but it’ not supported by a live streaming technology as good as the Phantom’s Lightbridge 2.

Although on paper the Yuneec Typhoon H does remain a strong, high-end drone, it’s the little details that made it an inferior proposition than the Phantom 4. There’s nothing majorly wrong with the machine itself and Yuneec China seems to have put in a lot of R&D efforts to offer a ‘whole package’. However, unfortunately, when control and connectivity features are taken into account, Yuneec Typhoon H simply didn’t reach the top-notch level of engineering. It is ‘just another OK drone” – and that’s a pity because Typhoon H did promise to be something spectacular especially after the Yuneec Intel alliance was announced.

Ultimately, the GoPro Karma Gimbal is an ‘OK’ gimbal

GoPro’s Karma Grip motorized gimbal mount was first released as part of the Karma drone kit. Part of the marketed appeal of the GoPro Karma is that it’s more than just a drone. Specifically, it’s a drone that has a removable gimbal to allow you to take the camera/gimbal and attach it to a separate handle (called Karma Grip) that you can use without the drone.

In order to do this, you’ll utilize the lock-ring to unlock the gimbal from Karma the drone, and attach it to the Karma Grip.

Once you’ve done so, you can then lock the Karma Grip itself, ensuring the gimbal stays put:

On the back of the gimbal are four buttons and four LED status lights.  These lights state the battery power of the gimbal, which is charged via USB-C cable.

The other four buttons are used to:

Record button: Start/stop video recording, or take a photo
Mode/Power: Change between photo/video modes, or power on/off the gimbal
Highlight button: Set a highlight tag that GoPro apps can use later to identify something exciting
Lock Orientation button: This is used to lock the orientation of the camera.

This last button is notable as it allows you to keep the camera either level to the ground, or set at a specific orientation.  This is useful when you may want to film something not level with the horizon, such as a bike computer on your handlebars.

The Grip is designed to be able to clip into the Karma mounting ring, which allows you to then mount it to any GoPro compatible mount location.

And example of this is the front of the Seeker backpack, which even has little elastic straps to keep the bottom portion of the gimbal in place.

All of which is solid, even more so since the gimbal is lightly water resistant – meaning it’ll stand up to rain/snow. However the connectors between the camera and the gimbal are not.  Thus it won’t work in the water, and if you have a Hero4, then keep in mind the water resistance there isn’t ideal (whereas the Hero5 is fully waterproofed).

Still, there are some challenges. First is that the gimbal blocks much of the camera’s display screen – thus making it harder to see what you’re filming. Second, it lacks a microphone port, which matters to some folks. On the Hero5, I find the onboard audio so good that it’s rarely needed. But lastly, and most importantly – the gimbal often gets out of whack.

Meaning that the gimbal calibration becomes off kilter, and the image starts to tilt.  This is usually noticeable within as little as 30 seconds of running. Correcting such tilt in post-production afterwards is a pain in the ass.

Ultimately, the GoPro Gimbal/Grip is an ‘OK’ gimbal. It’s just that there are great gimbals available for half the price, and half the weight. Plus those other gimbals are far more flexible in compatibility.
