Eric Cheng of DJI came by the Maker Media Lab to demonstrate the capabilities of the M100, their new customizable, hackable aerial platform.
Tested goes hands-on with DJI’s new M100 “Matrice” quadcopter! It’s a developer-targeted platform designed for customization and carrying a variety of sensors. One of its new features is called Guidance: the use of multiple stereo and ultrasonic sensors for collision detection–this quad can theoretically detect obstacles and resist crashing into them! They also test two developer-made demos: camera control with an Oculus headset and flight with Leap Motion!
Watch a brief example of how DJI’s products work to revolutionize filming. Fighting extreme cold and strong wind, DJI products, including the Ronin-M and Inspire 1, enabled Audi to film their new SQ5 from any angle.

In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew speaks with Nick Hegge, Marketing Director for Freefly Systems about the company’s new folding hexacopter, the Alta. Most notable among its new features is the fact that the three-axis camera gimbal can be mounted either above, or below, its airframe. It also incorporates Freefly’s new Synapse flight control system, optimized for aerial cinematography and is capable of carrying a 15-pound payload with 14 minutes of flying time. The Movi M-15 gimbal is controlled by the Freefly Wedge, a three-channel focus, iris and zoom camera remote, which also includes a screen to view a live video feed from the aircraft. Selling for $8,500, the Alta is expected to begin shipping in June.
