2499 yuan millet drone 1080p official version of the dual 11 on sale

IT168 News On May 25, 2016, Xiaomi used the live broadcast method for the live broadcast of the Xiaomi drone for the first time. On May 26, 2016, the first batch of 3,000 millet started crowdfunding, and the project completed all full support positions in 4 hours. The total amount was close to 7.5 million yuan and the crowdfunding was successfully completed. Since successful crowdfunding in May, after months of polishing, and after 35 performance optimizations and 17 software functions have been added, the 1080p version of the Xiaomi drone will be officially sold at Xiaomi Mall during the period of 11.11, while at Tmall, Jingdong, Mijia Mall and Xiaomi’s home are synchronized. Millet drone 1080p version is available for sale at 0:00 on November 11th, 2016, priced at 2,499 yuan.

Accessories are priced at a cost to allow users to play cool

When the 1080p version of the millet drone is officially sold, various accessories for the drone will also be sold on the Xiaomi.com network during the 11.11 period, and they will continue to do high-quality products and follow the principle of cost pricing. The prices of these three accessories that were put on sale during the period of 11.11 were: Battery 499 yuan (capacity 5100 mAh), Propeller 49 yuan (four sticks), Folding cage 39 yuan. While millet drones have extraordinary value for money, Xiaomi always sticks to cost-based pricing principles in order to allow users to enjoy the latest technology while enjoying the high-quality products. Post-conservation costs.

A key to take off a key return operation easy to use

The previous drones were only a few "fans" of enthusiasts. The reason is that drones are generally complicated to operate, and only through repeated practice can they eventually get started. For inexperienced new players, complicated operations make it difficult for them to experience drones quickly, and blind operations can also bring security risks. In order to make it easier for the player to control the UAV, the Xiaomi drone has added functions such as automatic take-off, automatic landing, automatic returning, route planning, and round-point flight, and it can achieve one-click take-off through the physical buttons on the remote control. Landing and returning will save many complex micro-operations of the drone in the process of take-off and landing.

During the flight, when it is found that the drone does not advance according to the flight intention, just release the joystick of the remote control and the drone will immediately hover in place to ensure the safe flight of the novice during the entry period. Millet drones also have built-in “electronic fences” to prevent users from losing their drones and risk losing them.

Integrated anti-shake pan/tilt mount with high quality camera

Millet UAV 1080p version uses 16 million SONY back-illuminated CMOS light-sensing unit, 104° wide-angle high light transmittance all-glass lens, and Anba image processing chip. The use of a 104° wide-angle lens ensures a lower image distortion, and it does not allow the viewing angle to be too narrow, reducing the broad sense of aerial photography. The camera's built-in micro-image transmission system transmits the captured images in digital high-definition format to the receiver module of the remote control, and presents the user with an aerial perspective through the App, allowing the aerial photography process to be vividly displayed, and everything is under control.

Due to the drone's flying motion is usually achieved by tilting the body toward the corresponding direction, and the rotation of the propeller during flight will bring about a certain amount of body vibration. To solve these problems, the camera of the millet UAV is equipped with a 3-axis brushless self-stabilized gimbal, built-in 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, and 3-axis brushless motor driver, providing up to 2,000 data acquisitions and operations per second. The compensation makes the camera reach the stable precision of the pixel level, and finally the shooting picture completely shakes off.

Four safety guarantees safe flight

For safer flight, the Xiaomi drone has a built-in dual-star GPS positioning receiver that can receive and analyze GPS, GLONASS signals from two satellite positioning systems to improve the ability of the UAV to receive satellites and locate and ensure the safety of UAVs. At the same time, in order to make up for the lack of use of GPS signal environment, Xiaomi drone equipped with a visual positioning system based on optical flow technology, with the support of the system, drones can be in low altitude (less than 2.5 meters) satellite signal environment Fly in and still be able to autonomously hover.

The millet drone also has built-in four-level safety protection. The remote controller adopts PCB array antenna to reduce the loss of connection; real-time position tracking can quickly mark the position of the drone even in the event of an accident to facilitate recovery; real-time calculation of the amount of electricity required for return, when the drone power is low, the user is automatically prompted Need to return; the edge of the no-fly zone is automatically hovered to prevent users from flying into the no-fly zone without their knowledge.

Modular design makes it easy to carry and assemble

One of the major pain points of high-end consumer drones nowadays is that it is not convenient to carry. Usually, players need to put drones in the trunk of a car to take them to the outdoors. The millet drone adopts a foldable landing gear and a detachable integrated head. Through this modular, collapsible and lightweight design, it can be easily put into an ordinary backpack and truly enable players to " Take the drone and walk away."

Spend more than 50 refinements and improvements for months

Since the shipment of 3,000 crowd-raising millet drones in July 2016, the 1080p crowd-funding version of the Xiaomi drone has accumulated more than 36,000 kilometers of mileage. Since the first crowdfunding lasted more than 170 days, based on feedback from crowdfunding users and problems in use, the production version of the 1080p version of the Xiaomi drone has performed 35 performance optimizations on the software, hardware, and mobile phone control APP. Item software features increase.

This 50-item optimization includes software control on optimization of brake and landing performance, optimization of the camera's camera algorithm, optimization of battery current and voltage monitoring and protection, optimization of motor ESC startup and speed optimization, and more. Among them, the officially launched production version of the millet drone will be equipped with a more powerful motor, and for those who have already purchased a crowdfunded product, the millet drone also provides a free upgrade of the motor power upgrade service.
