DJI teases August 23 launch event, new drone in new video
(Digital Photography Review)

DJI has published a video on its YouTube channel teasing a new product due out August 23, 2018. No specifics or are shared, but at the very beginning of the video, we catch a glimpse of what appears to be an on/off button of a drone. After the short clip of what looks like the body of a drone, the narrator of the video says: For more than a decade we`ve taken the dimension of space to give you the freedom of flight. But did you think we`d stop there? Let us take you beyond the horizon where something incredible awaits. It`s about time. The video wraps up with a clip that overlays the words `see the bigger picture.` DroneDJ says the on-off button we see at the beginning of the video is likely that of the yet-to-be-announced Mavic 2 Drone. Considering the similarities between the device in the teaser clip and the Mavic Pro, it`s not much of a stretch to draw that conclusion. Back in June, DJI sent out an invitation to press outlets teasing an event set for July 18. Three weeks after sending out the invitation, DJI delayed the event, citing issues regarding user experience and customer expectations. We`ll have to wait and see if the August event stays on-track or is pushed back once again.
