Summary

  • Leaked images and video, along with a new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filing, suggests that Chinese drone manufacturer DJI is preparing to release three new drones – the Mini 5 Pro, Avata 3 and Neo 2 – and a new action camera, the DJI Osmo Nano.
  • Videos and images show the design and features of two of the drones, both of which appear to be successors to existing models.
  • The Avata 3 shown in the footage has a different layout than its predecessor, with a larger camera and a rear-positioned battery, while the Neo 2 is seen with redesigned propeller guards.
  • The FCC filing for the Mini 5 Pro reveals that the drone will have a significantly improved battery over its predecessor, with a capacity of 33.5Wh, and will also support video transmission over a range of up to 15.5 miles – 5 miles further than the previous model.
  • All three drones are expected to be launched in September, with no news on a potential release date for the Osmo Nano.
