Compact Folding Drones

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The DJI Mavic is Conveniently Portable When Grounded

— September 7, 2016 — Tech
The DJI Mavic drone concept is rethinking portability when it comes to unmanned aerial vehicles. Drones have nearly limitless portability once in the air, but they can be unwieldy and cumbersome while being transported to their takeoff locations. The DJI Mavic comes with all of the mobility that has made DJI a leader in UAV tech, but it also folds up into a compact shape when on the ground, allowing its owner to easily bring it almost anywhere.

The foldable drone has not yet been released on the market, but consumers and industry insiders have made predictions as to its specifications. The DJI Mavic will likely have a 4K camera mounted on a folding two-axis gimbal, a removable battery and a total weight of 1.43 pounds.
