what's going on guys today we're going to talk about the uses of DJI drones and
the future of the drone industry
alright guys before we dive into this video I want you to think of two uses
for drones all right most people think of
cinematography or taking photos but there's a lot of other things that go
into the use of drones so we look at this chart we can see things like wind
turbine inspection preventing shark attacks search-and-rescue wildlife
conservation flash flood warning oil spill monitoring these are all uses for
drones some of these might be extreme cases I don't know how many people are
using the drone to prevent shark attacks maybe here in Miami but I don't know if
that's really a common thing so we're gonna go into the more common things and
talk about some job opportunities with drones according to Goldman Sachs we're
in the middle of a hundred billion dollar market so from the year 2016 to
the year 2020 the drone industry is projected to have a hundred billion
dollars within that market of money spent for jobs such as agriculture
construction insurance claims and other things like this so there are many many
job opportunities in the drone industry outside of purely cinematography or
taking photos ok so let's look at one example of that all right so as you can
see these workers are using a mitrice 600 which is one a DJ eyes enterprise
drones so with the mitrice 600 you can mount this z30 lens now the c30 lens has
a thirty time optical zoom and the beauty of that is you don't have to get
close to a telephone wire to a cell phone tower in this case or to anything
that you're inspecting so for a lot of inspections and this type of work where
you had people using cranes or actually climbing up poles and doing it manually
just with hard labor now you can just send up a drone
you can take pictures you can use thermal cameras or cameras that zoom in
like this from several miles away and you can get very very accurate readings
of what's going on in that cell tower or whatever wire or a thing that you're
inspecting so as a result it's a lot safer it gets it the job done much
quicker and you know you're you're really saving lives and making the work
more productive all right so Goldman Sachs made a list
of all the popular job opportunities in the next couple years so let's go look
at that as you can see things like construction agriculture and insurance
claims are top of the list especially construction and agriculture
so anytime something is being built or something needs to be inspected you
could use them a tree 600 you can use a mitrice 200 or 210 these drones are
really really popular in that industry and although they're very expensive as
you can see a lot of money is being spent in those industries in the United
States and in other countries as well agriculture is a huge industry for crop
inspection companies like Monsanto and other really big companies are spending
a lot of money for things like a mitrice 200 to 10 or an address mg1 so they can
spray their crops it's much more efficient and less time-consuming now
think about all the oil and gas pipelines around the world they need to
be inspected so DJI drones travel up to 65 miles an hour so they can cover a lot
of territory in a very short period of time that industry is definitely going
to be growing we have police and fire any type of search and rescue or see
some activity that needs police or fire Coast Guard those are all going to need
drones journalism of course you're doing reporting journalists can get different
videos and photos that they were never able to take before because of drones
custom and Border Protection or any type of security you can use drones
especially with thermal cameras people are available to see at nighttime so at
nighttime you can use a thermal camera to detect if there are anybody out there
where they shouldn't be so real-estate utilities we talked about pipelines
mining clean energy and cinematography so cinematography is something people
think about and that industry certain there's a lot of money but there are so
many other applications above it now things like real estate pipelines that
involve cinematography and photography so they put cinematography here in a
category by itself but obviously that applies to a lot of the other categories
one category I didn't see mentioned here was transportation so a lot of people
talk about Amazon or UPS shipping small packages with drones and they're testing
that right now in several states to see if it's going to work but right now the
drones don't have the distance and the battery to be able to go to that spot
come back there's there's a lot of logistical things that they need to work
out however it is likely that it's eventually going to happen so for DJI
they came out recently with the wind drone so the wind drone carries anywhere
from five to ten pounds you can put a package or something in there and
deliver it DJI is always on the innovative and latest and greatest
technology because they spend a lot of money in research design so let's talk
about DJI for a second DJI stands for - Aang innovations the Chinese da means
big and Shang means boundary so they're talking about big boundaries or big
limits to explore especially with being a drone company there's a Chinese
expression that means great innovations without limits this is what its founder
Frank Wang meant when he started the company so Dejiang Inc DJI means great
innovations without limits so who is this guy Frank Wang well in 2005 Frank
Wang a student at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology was given
2,300 dollars from the university to make a drone alright so obviously it was
a smart guy who's into technology so you used that money he made a drone he
worked night and day and a year later he was successful with
that and he started the company DJI now obviously this is before the consumer
drone market was around there might have been a few drones but nothing really
popular like it is today so today DJI has more than 8,000
employees but looking back Frank Wang spent a lot of money and a lot of
resources on research and design R&D and because of that he was always able to
come out with the latest and greatest technology in drones so this is why i DJ
i is a leader in the drone market they control more than 70 percent of all
revenue for the drone industry worldwide and they're valued at 16 billion dollars
so much like Apple and Samsung that controlled the cell phone market DJI
controls the drone market because they spend so much money on research and
design and whenever another company comes out with a drone that's really
good DJI has another drone in their
headquarters in their design department that they can come out with and say look
our drone is better and then that other company sort of goes out of business or
doesn't sell as many drones because DJI is drones are so much better so for
example this evo drone that came out was supposed to be a big hit
now DJI said all right that's in the $500 to $1000 price range so DJI decided
to release the Mavic air which is priced at $800 or $1000 for a combo and in that
same price category Thematic air is better than the Evo so that sort of put
that company on the back burner while DJI raked in more profit all right so
we've been talking about job opportunities in different drones so
let's look at DJI and the different drone uses we have over here we have the
Agra's mg1 and that's obviously used for agriculture you can spray pesticide
fertiliser water whatever you want to spray on your crops that does about
seven to ten acres per hour so you have to keep changing that container that
carries ten liters of water or whatever you're putting in there about 2.6 4
gallons but it's about 40 times more efficient than spraying by hand down
below you have the mitrice 210 this is kind of like the Swiss Army knife of
drones it's one of DJ eyes expensive drones however you can make a
lot of money all those job opportunities at the top with all the money going to
it can be done with the mitrice 210 because it comes with a with the RT k
you're able to get within millimeter accuracy of a certain point you're able
to do surveying mapping inspection of towers of bridges of crops telephones
cell phone towers all these different things so the mitrice 10 is very
versatile you can mount two cameras below or you're able to mount one camera
on top and you can use a 30 x oom camera you can use thermal cameras you can fly
this drone in the rain so it's very very effective in so many areas so that's why
I call it the Swiss Army knife of drones so now looking over here with this race
car and this drone over here the inspire - this is the best drone for
cinematography so this drone can fly 65 miles an hour you can mount a x7 camera
and one of the prime lenses so you can get up to 6 K footage with that drone to
fly at 65 miles an hour has dual redundant batteries self-heating
batteries so it's just a phenomenal drone for a scimitar AFER's one more
thing that mitrice 210 and inspired to are really great drones because you can
fly them in high wind so they both fly and win up to about 40 to 50 miles an
hour and you'll still get steady footage of course not everyone's trying to make
a living using drones some people just want to have fun so that's why the Mavic
air is so great it's small it packs up it's very portable you can almost put it
in your pocket and just carry it anywhere there's no really excuse not to
carry it and it shoots a phenomenal 4k footage flies 42 miles an hour has
obstacle avoidance in the front and back so if it's following you it won't hit
anything and it also has 8 gigs of internal storage so that's why this
drone for the price point of a thousand dollars for a combo with three batteries
is one of DJ eyes most popular drones all right so DJI doesn't only make
drones it also makes goggles this gives you a first-person point of view when
you're flying your drone especially when it's sunny out you don't have all that
glare and you can get a really immersive experience with the goggles
alright the Ronin 2 is great for cinematographers you can walk around use
any camera you want with a ready rig and you won't get a sore back because all
the weight will be transferred to your waist so you'll be able to film all day
you'll be able to shoot a Hollywood film basically with this equipment
alright so DJI as a company really shines when it comes to stabilization
both for its drones and for things like the Osmo so the whole Osmo series has
and everything from a pro to a normal as mo those are both cameras built-in to
another stabilizer like the Osmo mobile here where you can walk around put your
cell phone on and just get really stable footage it also has active tracks will
follow you around a lot of people love this because you can put it down on a
base and record yourself it's like having a cinematographer there for you
without actually having a cinematographer there so now let's look
at this video demonstrating active tracking on the beauty of DJI is that it
has active track built into all its drones so in addition to obstacle
avoidance and other features and intelligent flight modes it has a thing
called active track and what that is is the drone will actually follow you in
many different ways so it can follow you while going backwards so your running
forward for example like this woman jumping over these boxes or I can follow
you from behind or if you're hiking with a friend let's say you want to get a
shot from the side it can also follow you from the side so it has all
different ways of following you automatically and you don't have to do
anything as a cinematographer and DG is newest drone the Mavic - especially the
Mavic - pro is probably the best portable drone there is in the world
today and it does everything well including flying up to five miles it
flies up to 31 minutes at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour and one of the
coolest features is a thing called hyperlapse
where you're able to shoot time-lapse while flying the drone while moving in
the air alright guys I could talk on and on about DJI drones but I'm gonna have
to cut it off here I know it sounds like I'm plugging DJI but they're a really
innovative company they're forward-thinking spending a lot of money
on research and design so they always mount with the latest greatest
technology which I really enjoy as a cinematographer and a photographer so
