On the evening of September 27, Dajiang released a new folding aerial UAV series - Mavic, which is called "Yu" in Chinese. The selling points of the new Mavic Pro are the highly integrated compact body and the furious performance of rising without dropping. With the price of 6499 yuan, let alone peers, even Dajiang's own Elf 4 was cut down. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the strongest consumer UAV on the surface.

We Lei Feng Love to play computer games I got the new machine at the first time. Let's have a look at what kind of industrial design it is. It can put hardware stronger than Genie 4 into the body size of mineral water.

parts

In addition to the "Yu" Mavic Pro UAV body and remote control, the accessories are only the remote control adapter cable and charger, which can charge the batteries of remote control and UAV at the same time, with the output power of 5V/2A and 13.05V/3.83A respectively (equivalent to about 50W).

The remote control has two kinds of adapter cables, Android mirco USB and Apple's lighting interface. The other end is a square mirco USB interface customized for users to distinguish. When charging, you can use ordinary data cables to connect.

Remote control

The remote control of the Mavic Pro is only a little larger than that of the iPhone 7. It has the taste of a handheld game console, and its weight is a little larger than expected. Its appearance design has been optimized for folding and portability, for example, the folded antenna with asymmetric design and the mobile phone bracket folded inward.

The new OcuSync image transmission is in the Mavic Pro remote control. A cooling fan has been installed in such a small volume. After a period of power on, you can hear the sound of the motor and the wind in the air inlet and outlet grille. Although it is a plastic material that is easy to take care of, the smooth acrylic and stainless steel heat dissipation net play a great role in improving the texture. After the bracket is partially opened, it is the position of the palm rest, so the soft glue material is used. In addition to the edge, the hand feels natural.

Remote control transmits the new OcuSync image transmission data to the mobile phone screen through the data line. The transmission distance of the latter is upgraded from 5 km 720p of the previous generation Lightbridge image transmission to 7 km 1080P. This set of the most powerful long-distance image transmission system for civil use on the earth has left the former flagship product of peers and even Xinjiang. The design of this part of the connecting cable is also very interesting. The bracket has a mobile clip for fixing the data cable. After connecting the phone, it is fixed by the soft rubber pads on both sides, and can be clipped into the phone close to the iPhone 7 Plus.

Remote control details

The size and teeth of the throttle and direction rocker are correspondingly reduced, and the one button takeoff and landing, power button, function pause button and small direction rocker on both sides of the rocker become quite small. The left and right shoulders are the video and shutter buttons, and below them are the wheels that control the PTZ.

  UAV main body

The main body of the UAV is really close to the mineral water bottle. People who see it at the first sight will be surprised by its size. The real object is far more shocking than the online pictures. The folding mechanism of the boom is very special. The horizontal folding front boom is in the upper layer, and the longitudinal folding rear boom is in the lower layer. The cable protected by nylon mesh can be seen at the front boom swivel.

The camera of the front stereo vision system and the PTZ protective cover have their own contrast and cuteness. If the remote control bracket looks like a crab, then the head is a bit like a "tadpole frog". The protective cover can be easily removed. There is a sports car style cooling grille on the back, and detailed stainless steel mesh can be seen inside.

rotor

In order to control the weight and simplify the structure, the motor shell is directly connected to the rotor, which is also a folding mechanism. When rotating, it can straighten and expand itself, and the design is quite ingenious.

Battery

In the center of the fuselage is the battery compartment, which maintains the 4-format power indication. The body battery is relatively light, 11.4V/3830mAh, with an equivalent capacity of 43.6Wh.

Belly

The inside of the extremely small body is the same crazy heat dissipation design. After starting the machine, you will find that the whole body is a unified air duct like the Apple Mac Pro, and the whole belly is covered by a magnesium aluminum alloy heat dissipation plate. The air enters from the opening on the right side of the PTZ protective cover, passes through the fuselage, and is discharged from the bottom and tail heat dissipation grids.

In addition, the opening on the belly of the machine is a dual camera and ultrasonic sensor of the visual positioning system, because the lens of the camera will not be dirty if directly touched under the cooling grid. I have to accept that so many details and machine components can be crammed in such a small place.

Integrated PTZ&4K camera

The most sophisticated part of Mavic Pro is the three-axis integrated mechanical pan tilt and 4K camera. The camera is integrated with one of the mechanical shafts of the PTZ, but it is still one circle smaller than the one yuan coin. The PTZ and the fuselage are connected by four very small silicone "gaskets", the latter is very soft and has large moving space. If you do not wear a protective cover, you may even be disturbed by the airflow during flight. Its wires and connection cables are the size level of the original mobile phone, which is simply a popular miniature model. The degree of integration and miniaturization is amazing.

Under the sliding covers on both sides of the belly are the TF card slot, the connection mode switch lever and the mirco USB interface for debugging. A status indicator light is hidden next to the TF card slot.

summary

In a word, the Mavic Pro not only has a sense of science and technology in its appearance design, but also has unprecedented refinement and black technology in the UAV field in terms of the details of its body and PTZ. Follow up experience will be completed soon, please pay attention.
