Linus tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by phantom glass visit store phantom dot glass for the best iron screen protectors out there as well as HyperX alright guys welcome to the DJI booth where we're checking out the DJI inspire 1 this device is a 3 axis gimbal mounted to a drone that can travel at 60 miles an hour and up to the height legal height of 400 feet we'll get back to the flying part of the drone in a minute but for now the camera on this unit is its own unique beast with 12 megapixels that can record 4k video at 24 to 30 fps and 1080p video at 24 to 60 fps it has a 1/2 point 5-inch CMOS sensor and a 94 degree wide angle lens within fixed f-stop of 2.8 all sitting on a 3 axis 360 degree rotating gimbal which should produce some amazing results I've been told that the gimbal can even hold the camera steady for long enough to take solid long exposure photos it also is possible to swap out the camera but please note there are no currently other available cameras that are compatible with this device the drones carbon-fiber arms and deployable landing gear able to move out of the way from the camera easily while in the air to ensure beautiful unobstructed shots the drone will keep itself in place through the use of GPS and a visual positioning system mounted on the bottom of the unit being a lightweight drone it has a maximum flight time of 18 minutes it also has a very impressive communication range of 2 kilometers thanks to DJ eyes proprietary light bridge 2.4 gigahertz communication technology the app is pretty awesome as well allowing for dual operator control on for one person to control the drone and the other to control the camera the app also features auto takeoff in Auto land with a dynamic home point for return home functionality based on the location of the controller it also displays live map radar and telemetry data amongst other details to keep you informed keep in mind this is a very expensive unit coming in at two thousand eight hundred and ninety dollars DJI doesn't even recommend it for amateur drone operators but an experienced operator could achieve beautiful aerials for much less than many other drones on the market alright guys thank you for watching this video if you want to see all the rest of our CES content be sure to stay subscribed to Linus tech tips thank you a phantom glass for sending us here this year and should be making a pretty cool video from them fairly soon I know you've been hearing me say that literally all week but it is coming don't worry about it and also thank you defensive glass for protecting our phones while we're here thank you to HyperX as well go to youtube.com slash HyperX to check out their channel if they get a hundred thousand subscribers before January 11th they'll be doing a pretty cool giveaway I think they're about eight thousand subscribers away right now so jump over there subscribe and hopefully you win something thank you guys for watching and I'll see you next time
