AirVūz News: World of Drones 12/07/20

Published 12/07/2020 09:28

Over the past week the rumor mills in the drone world have been swirling. According to multiple reports, drone industry giant DJI is close to releasing their first FPV drone. DJI, who is known for their prosumer and commercial drones, jumped into the FPV game last year when they released their Goggles and air unit set. All digital and HD, that set became one of the most popular products on the market, and still is. Now with talks of this FPV drone being equipped with a 4k 60 frames per second camera, and still being able to get that real drone racing feel - reportedly topping at 93 miles per hour - DJI is just changing the game once again. 

A company out of Seattle is using drones to help replant forests affected by the wildfires. With the United States recording its worst wildfire year in history, many were wondering the best course of action to regenerate forests. That’s where seattle-based drone company DroneSeed comes in. According to DroneSeed CEO Grant Canary, their 8-foot drones up to 50 acres a day and each carry as much as 57 pounds of seed vessels. With a fleet of 5 of those drones, DroneSeed then reforests the areas that have burned down, dropping what are called "seed vessels" into areas where they have the best chance of growing back.

Now, how about some drone videos of the week! Here in no particular order are the top 5 videos uploaded to AirVuz last week!

First up we have,
Minya Konka by nico
It’s been a couple years since content creator nico had uploaded to AirVuz, but the wait was worth it! In this remarkable production we get hyperlapse views above the clouds and snowy peaks of Mount Gongga, also known as Minya Konka, in the Chinese province of Sichuan. Now, we just hope it’s not another two years before Nico’s next video!
Next up we have,

Here at AirVuz we’ve seen some pretty spectacular videos from Honk Kong, and this one by Arhan is right up there with the best of them.
