tos that look crisper and cleaner than ever. An enhanced sensor gives you greater clarity, lower noise, and better
pictures than any previous ying camera.
DJI Intelligent Flight Battery: The 4480 mAh DJI Intelligent Flight Battery features upgraded battery cells and an
advanced power management system.
Built-in WiFi Extender: The wi extender is integrated into the remote controller to allow a easy connection to teh
aircraft.
Flight Controller: The next-generation ight controller has been updated to provide a safer, more reliable ight
experience. A newly implemented ight recorder stores critical data from each ight.
