The Xiaomi UAV, which was widely rumored last year, was finally released. Xiaomi UAV is built by Feimi Technology under Xiaomi Ecological Chain. Cai Wei, its founder and CEO, is a doctor in the field of signal and processing in the Institute of Acoustics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and has 7 years of experience in the UAV industry.
The pain points described in the official warm-up propaganda include "the toys of local tyrants (expensive), difficult to use, short endurance, unclear shooting, not portable, easy to fly and lose". Faced with these pain points, Xiaomi UAV is equipped with intelligent flight assistance system, which is actually responsible for several common functions of products of the same level:
One button takeoff/hover/return/landing;
Pointing flight, automatically flying to the map destination;
Route planning, automatic flight along the preset track;
Fly around the point. After setting the center point/height/radius, the machine will fly around the preset target.
Xiaomi UAV adopts 434mm wheelbase, which is larger than Dajiang Genie and Zero Xplorer series UAVs (350mm), modular design, and the landing gear and PTZ camera can be disassembled and directly put into the backpack. The fuselage wall thickness is 1.2mm and ARA-D airfoil propeller is used.
5100mAh battery, 4.35V, LG/Grepow cell, 200 cycles, providing 8-fold battery intelligent protection. The three-axis pan tilt adopts an integrated design. The three-axis anti shake provides a correction speed of 2000 times per second, and the line of sight stability error is ± 0.02 °. 1080P version is equipped with 16 million pixel sensor, and 4K version It is equipped with Sony's 12 million pixel backlight sensor (the 4K version has lower pixels and smaller wide-angle), and the maximum image transmission distance of the latter is 2km.
Its 1080p version sold for 2499 yuan. On May 26, Xiaomi Smart Home App began crowdfunding. The 4k version sold for 2999 yuan, which was released at the end of July.
The following is a comparison of parameters between Xiaomi UAV and several "peers" in the market:

Although it has fewer functions than the most famous Dajiang and Zero UAVs of the same level, and does not support advanced functions such as automatic obstacle avoidance, it is still ferocious in terms of cost performance. However, the 4K version with a higher cost performance ratio is the "futures" that began public testing two months later. Apart from the UAV itself, the form of this press conference is also worth mentioning. Xiaomi completed the live broadcast of facts on multiple platforms in the form of live webcast, and also promoted its own Xiaomi live broadcast platform.
Lei Jun had also become an online celebrity in person before. He "officially leaked" Xiaomi Max and Xiaomi Band II on the live broadcast. It can be seen that Lei is quite optimistic about the prospect of live broadcast. Of course, compared with online celebrity economy, most of the fans who are interested in the Xiaomi UAV are more concerned about whether the machine can be captured (squint).
