Drone News - Skydio 2, DJI Airworks 2019, Drone Delivery, Yuneec Typhoon H3, DJI News, Drones for Good

P4 Multispectral and Agras T16 introduced at DJI Airworks 2019, Skydio 2 – the autonomous drone launched on October 1, UPS gets permission from the FAA for drone delivery business, Yuneec Typhoon H3, and Drones for Good

We start this show by discussing the recently concluded drone conference, DJI Airworks. This year DJI introduced two agricultural drones- the P4 Multispectral and the Agras T16. Specifically, we give users a sneak-peek into the P4 Multispectral. The P4 Multispectral is a multispectral imaging drone pitted directly against the likes of Wingtra and eBeeX. So, how does the P4 Multispectral compare in terms of performance and pricing to these drones with proven multispectral imaging capabilities? Tune in to find out. Other topics discussed in this segment of the show are DJI’s new gimbal, DJI X-Port, and DJI’s new disaster relief program.

Our next new story is about the Skydio R2, arguably the biggest drone news story of the moment. The California-based drone manufacturer, Skydio launched its new drone, the Skydio R2 on October 1. Armed with autonomous flying capabilities, this Skydio R1 successor is priced attractively at $999. Accessories like the Beacon and the Controller further enhance the flying capabilities of this drone. As the early reviews roll, we discuss the Pros and Cons of this new drone. Will Skydio finally taste commercial success with this new drone? Considering the small sensor size, is the Skydio R2 a good alternative to the Mavic 2 Pro? We discuss build quality, sensor quality, autonomous capabilities and pricing in our comprehensive Skydio review.

Other topics discussed on this show are the Yuneec Typhoon H3 with Leica sensor, Go Pro Hero 8, UPS Drone Deliveries, and Drones for Good. Tune in for the latest and most exciting drone news.
