00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:07.680
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for

00:00:05.319 --> 00:00:12.920
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:14.679
Digital so we're here with DJI a brand I

00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:19.800
actually hadn't heard of before but they are drawing a lot of attention here at

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:22.160
the show flying around their Phantom 2

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:25.199
Vision quadricopter this is a high performance quadricopter and of course

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:29.359
the obvious comparison is going to be drawn to the AR drone but it's a little

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:35.079
bit different from the AR drone so rather than using sonar to detect its height it actually

00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:38.440
has a different sensor system to detect not only its height but also its

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:44.039
distance away from you which is allowing it to stay stable even in this crowded

00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:45.640
Hall it also supports Wi-Fi controls

00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:50.520
okay so that's similar as well as firsters view as well as taking video

00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:54.280
and photos but the quality has been stepped up to correspond to the

00:00:51.879 --> 00:00:59.559
increased price so it's around $1,200 but it can go as far as 300 M away from

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:03.000
the controller with the Wi-Fi extender that you see here on the controller you

00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:06.600
control it in a more traditional hobbyist style so you move it kind of

00:01:04.839 --> 00:01:09.080
back and forth up and down and I think they're about to take it away so what

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:14.159
I'm going to do is I'm going to cover a couple of the things on here so there's a motor controlled camera a battery

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:18.080
indicator and LEDs on the bottom of the unit that allow us to orient it go ahead

00:01:16.360 --> 00:01:22.600
and take that away thank you very much the iPhone on the top of it can be used

00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:26.439
to see it in firstperson View and it can also be used to control things like

00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:30.360
camera settings like exposure for example to make sure that you get the

00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:34.280
best footage that you possibly can this guy's got a GoPro Hero 3 mounted on it

00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:37.280
so it's a little bit on the different side I'm just going to go ahead and give

00:01:35.720 --> 00:01:41.040
you guys a bit of a better look at it here it makes actually all things

00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:45.079
considered not a ton of noise but I wouldn't expect to be recording any

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:49.320
audio with uh the camera that's on this thing so the main objective here because

00:01:47.399 --> 00:01:55.560
it's so expensive it's not necessarily for the Casual consumer but for RC

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:59.200
enthusiasts just over $1,000 might not seem that unreasonable for a remote

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:05.079
control vehicle especially one that includes a 1080p uh 14 megapixel camera

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:08.119
but then again guys there are all kinds of different customers in this world

00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:12.920
some pros might want to use this but other Pros might want to step up to the

00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:18.120
eight rotor s1000 this one they're not flying around in here but due to its

00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:20.280
eight rotor design and carbon fiber

00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:25.519
lightweight construction this guy can hold a Canon 5D including look at this

00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:29.120
there's a gimbal on it as well for stabilized aerial footage and what's the

00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:32.920
maximum range on this guy do you happen to know off the top of your head um it's

00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:36.400
still actually under testing so we'll release that once we release the product

00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:41.319
well there you go guys either way the booth is drawing a ton of attention here

00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:45.400
don't miss any of our CES 2014 coverage guys our trip to the show is powered by

00:02:42.920 --> 00:02:51.319
NC your choice for great technology selection and Service as well as Corsair
