DJI Spreads Its Wings With The S1000

CUMMING, Ga. - July 31, 2014 - PRLog -- (CUMMING, GA)— Another milestone in Aerial Photography and Cinematography has been reached with the release of the DJI Spreading Wings S1000. The new S1000 combined with a flight controller like the A2, weighs only 4kg with a maximum takeoff weight of about 11kg makes for a very stable heavy lift camera platform.

Both the frame arms and the retractable landing gear are made from carbon fiber, ensuring lightweight and high structural stability. The eight frame arms can be completely folded down, and the high performance folding propellers can be tucked away, minimizing the S1000’s size, and creating an easy way to transport. To fly, simply lift the frame arms up; lock them in place and power up the system. This simplified process greatly saves on pre-flight prep time.

The Zenmuse Z15-5D Gimbal offers advanced camera stabilization for smooth footage, precision tilt, and position control from the ground. There is also full HD video downlink compatibility via the new LightBridge, giving you the ability to see what the camera sees while in flight in high definition. The gimbal is mounted low on the frame on a specially designed bracket. When combined with the included retractable landing gear, it offers a clear and wide shooting angle. Both the gimbal and battery system are mounted to the same bracket, with dampers placed between the bracket and the frame. This significantly reduces high-frequency vibrations and makes shots clearer and sharper. The battery tray's position also makes it more stable and convenient for mounting and dismounting.
