DJI at WRC Corsica

Moving on from the dusty roads of Mexico, DJI heads onwards to France putting the recently launched Inspire 2 and Phantom 4 Pro through their paces to record what WRC aficionados refer to as the Tour de Corse.

Known as the “Rally of 10,000 Corners”, the competition has cars racing around relentlessly twisty mountain roads and winding around craggy rock faces with big drops on either side.DJI was there to capture the contrast between the still beauty and exhilarating action – a constant in every World Rally Championship we shoot through the eyes of our drones.

Industrial Applications: More Efficient Powerline Inspection with the DJI M200 Series

China’s Yunnan Province has an abundance of hydroelectric power, thus there is a requirement for inspecting and maintaining its vast powerline networks. However, the province’s jagged and mountainous terrain makes transportation challenging, and manual inspection dangerous, limiting it to a maximum of one or two pylons a day.

Reliability and security are the first things to consider when choosing a drone to carry out electrical inspections.  Watch this video to find out how the DJI M200 Series tackles these difficulties effectively and efficiently, enabling power line inspection teams to significantly increase their project turnaround time while minimising the need for hazardous inspection practices.

DJI Welcomes FAA-Commissioned Report Analysing Drone Safety Near People

DJI welcomes the April 28-report from the Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence (ASSURE), the FAA’s designated Center of Excellence, which establishes that small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are far more safe to operate around people than earlier models had assumed.

The ASSURE report, prepared for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to help identify criteria for safe drone operations over people, showed that drones have unique aerodynamic and structural properties that mitigate the force involved in a collision. Read the full report here
