DJI Changes the Ronin M battery to reduce weight

DJI just announced that all new ronin m will come with a half sized battery x 2 in an attempt to reduce the weight of the handheld gimbal.

Personally I think that is a good move, the current battery last forever when the gimbal is balanced properly. So by reducing the weight, it definitely will enhanced the user experience.

Inspire 1 with the new Micro Four Third sensor

In a few hours time (GMT+2) 11/9/2015, DJI will be launching a brand new camera for the Inspire 1. It looks like a Micro Four Third Camera with a 17mm lens from Panasonic/Leica Summilux F1.7 Aspherical lens. This is equivalent to a 34mm full frame focal length. At this focal length, it has close to zero distortion. This is like flying the GH4 in the sky on a small platform. A S900 is required to carry a GH4 traditionally to get the awesome 4K video, and now this is possible with the Inspire 1!

The pricing is rumoured to be around US$1200 – US$1600…… Personally I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
