DJI Inspire 2 includes a feature called "RTH", which allows you drone to fly wirelessly. RTH is a function that allows the Inspire 2 to collect information from its environment and plan a route to its base. It can detect obstacles from 200 meters away, and help you restore communication with your remote controller faster after losing signal. It also includes a 360-degree rotating camera.

This system comes with a transmitter and a receiver that are connected via WiFi. The Inspire 2's transmitter as well as receiver can both receive and transmit video. Inspire 2's dual-band Lightbridge HD video transmission device is also available. This allows you to view both the FPV camera and the main camera from a distance of seven kilometers. The Phantom 3 Standard uses 2.4GHz WiFi to transmit data. This distance is seven kilometers.

How To

How to Fly Drones for Beginners

A drone can be used to fly remotely controlled aircraft for photography, surveillance, scientific research, hobby and commercial purposes. The technology behind drones has been around since World War II. However, commercial use began in 2010 when DJI released their Phantom series of quadcopters. From beginner-friendly drones such as Parrot AR Drone 2.0 through professional-grade multirotor craft like DJI Mavic Pro, many types have been available.

You can fly a drone in many different ways, including:

  1. Remote control – This technique uses a control device attached directly to your hands that allows you steer the drone around its flight path. There are two main types of controllers: On/Off switches (like a radio) and joysticks.
  2. Manual Control – This allows remote operation of the drone via GPS coordinates using a smartphone application. The app will give you instructions.
  3. Autonomous Flight – This is when the drone handles all the piloting tasks. It basically flies autonomously without any human intervention. The drone must be equipped with a camera and sensors that can capture images and data in order to fly autonomously.
  4. Triggered Flight - This method is similar to manual control, except the pilot manually sets up a preprogrammed route, and the drone follows that route until it reaches the endpoint. After the preprogrammed route is complete, the drone will automatically land and return to its base.
  5. Landing Gear – A few drones come with landing gear. This allows them land safely in the event of losing power or running out of battery.
  6. Goggles – Pilots often wear goggles while flying to keep themselves safe from any debris.
  7. Camera - Some drones are equipped with cameras allowing you to capture photos and videos from above.
  8. Obstacles - Some drones can be equipped with obstacle avoidance systems that prevent them from crashing into obstacles.
  9. Speed – Some drones can reach speeds in excess of 40 mph.
  10. Battery Life – Most drones will last 20 minutes to three hours depending on how powerful they are.
  11. Some drones are capable of traveling up to 30 miles depending upon their make and model.
  12. Power source: Some drones will require an external power source while others can be powered by internal batteries.
  13. Weight - Some drones can be as light as 1 pound while others can reach 4 pounds.
  14. Size - Drones range from small devices that fit in one's palm to large crafts that weigh more than 50 pounds.
  15. Price - All drones fall within a specific price range, from high-end models that can cost thousands of dollars to lower-cost options starting at $100.
