The most awaited Xiaomi 4K Drone finally has an official release date,
after several reports claiming that the impressive device will be available on
March 3 at a price of 2,999 Yuan (US$ 460), (with an extra battery priced at 499
Yuan).
In case drones aren’t your favorite subject, you
should know that this is one of the best out there, equipped with a 5,100 mAh
battery that can last up to 26 minutes of flight time and a 4K 360-degree
camera that can shoot impressive videos and still images. The
drone resembles a dragonfly, with four propellers taking care of the flight. The camera is attached to a pan/tilt base allowing for 360° videos. A green and
a red light on top of the drone act as an indicator so the device is visible to
others while on flight.
Xiaomi has added 4 flight modes to Mi Drone allowing
the device to automatically fly to a destination set by the user on the map,
plan a route and send the drone to follow it, set a center point and send the
drone to fly around this center and lastly, one-button control that sets the
drone to automatically take off/hover/home/land.
Xiaomi 4K Drone
comes with is own remote control pad that can connect to a smartphone and use
it as a display, in order to watch what the camera “sees” in real time. You can
grab the Xiaomi 4K Drone from March 3 on Xiaomi Mall, Mi Home, Xiaomi official
flagship store on Lynx, Jingdong, and Suning.
