We have all heard that Xiaomi is preparing a UAV, and speculated
about features it will have. Some photos of the novelty and even an app
for it were leaked previously, but the most accurate picture of how this
new UAV will look like we have obtained when 20 second long teaser
video appeared. This short video shows some features of the this
long-expected Xiaomi device.
The Mi Drone will get standard looking quad-copter design, a round
camera module mounted below the main fuselage, as well as a pretty
compact size. At least, it fits in a backpack.
The UAV will be able to capture 4K videos at 30FPS, 1080p at 100 FPS,
60 FPS or 30 FPS, moreover, it seems that the drone will be capable
of flying according to GPS-coordinates set by you in the application.
Also there is expected an FPV feature — the vehicle can be piloted
remotely from the first-person perspective via the onboard camera, fed
wirelessly to the video monitor.
The most expected feature is the ability to control the movements of the drone by the Mi Band and simply gestures.
It is supposed that Xiaomi Mi Drone will have longer flight time than its main competitors.
Typically, such functions belong to the more expensive device
segment, but we hope that Xiaomi, as always, will delight us with the
price.
Xiaomi Mi Drone will be officially launched on May 25th, so stay tuned for updates!
