The world’s largest drone maker, DJI Technologies, announced Wednesday it will begin including airplane and helicopter detectors in nearly all consumer drones manufactured in and after 2020, making it the first company to do so.
All new DJI drone models released after January 1, 2020 that weigh more than 250 grams will include AirSense technology, which receives ADS-B signals from nearby airplanes and helicopters and warns drone pilots if they appear to be on a collision course. The company says this will be the largest single deployment of ADS-B collision awareness technology to date, and sets a new standard by putting professional-grade aviation safety technology in drones available to everyone.
Enter AirSense
AirSense can detect airplanes and helicopters from miles away, farther than a drone pilot can hear or see them, and displays their locations on the screen of the pilot’s remote controller. It has previously been available only on some professional-grade DJI drones.
“DJI was the first company to offer geofencing, automatic altitude limits, return-to-home technology and other safety features to the world’s growing community of personal and professional drone pilots. We believe our efforts have helped drones attain their enviable safety record, and we expect our new agenda will further improve safety even as more drones take to the skies,” Schulman said in a prepared statement.

Including ADS-B is only the first of 10 steps that DJI, other drone manufacturers and governments around the world can and should make to improve safety in our skies.
DJI will install ADS-B receivers in all new drones above 250 grams
DJI will develop a new automatic warning for drone pilots flying at extended distances
DJI will establish an internal Safety Standards Group to meet regulatory and customer expectations
Aviation industry groups must develop standards for reporting drone incidents
All drone manufacturers should install geofencing and remote identification
Governments must require remote identification
Governments must require a user-friendly knowledge test for new drone pilots
Governments must clearly designate sensitive restriction areas
Local authorities must be allowed to respond to drone threats that are clear and serious
Governments must increase enforcement of laws against unsafe drone operation
DJI’s schedule to add the ADS-B receivers aligns with the FAA’s upcoming requirement for essentially all airplanes and helicopters to be equipped with ADS-B transmitters in controlled airspace, starting January 1, 2020. DJI’s drones also integrate obstacle avoidance, geofencing, and altitude limits to prevent near-crashes but they haven’t been as successful as hoped.
DJI to announce new waterproof action camera on May 15th
The internet has been ablaze since DJI announced their Unleash Your Other Side event on May 15th.
Not much word or details prior to the announcement had been out regarding what they may be revealing. We’ve scoured the internet and found a wealth of information since then that reveals most of the details of their new Osmo Action Camera
DJI Osmo Action
Action Camera from DJI Spotted in the Wild
A known Twitter source was the first to unveil the Action Cam images and we see that the camera features 8x slow-motion and is potentially capable of recording at 240fps. You can check out the full list of rumoured specs below.
From here we see the Dual LCD display, making the DJI OSMO Action the first of its kind to have a screen on the front in addition to the back. It should all be waterproof considering the box image, announcement image and frankly, for the fact that if it was not water resistant at the very least, then DJI would just be competing against their own Osmo Pocket released not so long ago.
Specifications
Drone Rumor has received reliable information that the camera will have the following specs
Compared to the Osmo Pocket, the Osmo Action will have a different capturing angle at 145-degrees and the shutter speed is capable of 1/8000-120s
Sensor
1/2.3″ 12-megapixel Sony CMOS sensor (Sony IMX377)
Processor
Ambarella H2 image processor
Field of view
145° f/2.8
Shutter speed
1/8000-120s
Video

Other Features
Image stabilisation system, HDR and automatic time-lapse photography
Stay tuned for more news and updates as they become available.
