FPV through the aerial photography,  the chance will arrive? 

Equipment, technology, vision and depth

 I don't know if you feel that way, since this year, you' ve heard more of the words "through the machine" or "FPV".

 DJI, of course, is the first reason, since last year DJI FPV the product was exposed ," traversing machine "has quickly become a hot word for media attention in major industries. A lot of media believe that DJI FPV is not only a racing aircraft, but also an aerial shuttle for video shooting. As an industry leader, DJI's focus is the direction of the industry. At the same time, the film and television industry is also exploring the practical application of traversing aerial photography in their respective fields.

 Traversing aircraft is a kind of remote control aircraft which has no independent cruising ability. It is characterized by fast speed, high speed and flexible movement, so it is often used in racing motion. Although the use of traversing aircraft for aerial photography is not uncommon, it can take a traditional UAV can not shoot the flight picture. However, compared with the traditional UAV, the threshold of crossing the aircraft is much higher, and it has higher requirements for the reaction speed, control technology and DIY ability of the flying hand. Because of this, traversing aerial photography has been relatively small, and to play tickets in the majority.

 But things are changing, and in the film industry, the combination of film cameras and traversing machines has emerged, and last time we reported on a series of film-grade traversing machines called Money Shot. Money Shot Mini can carry RED KOMODO to achieve the highest speed of 160 km / h, while the same series of top models can carry RED DSMC2 or even ARRI Alexa Mini..(Agencies (See: Put the film machine on the traversing machine, you are not afraid of the "bomb machine" it? )

 And in the television industry, especially sports broadcasters, their attempts are bolder and more radical. During this month's Daytona 500 car race, drones and traversing planes were both broadcast live.

 Many of the previous live events used helicopters to shoot aerial footage around the stadium. The UAV and the traversing aircraft are completely different, they are allowed to fly and shoot in the field. On the drone side, the broadcaster Fox Sports used a heavy-duty movie-class drone, paired with a Sony HDC-P50 camera and a Canon 20-fold broadcast lens, plus a microwave transmitter for signal transmission. However, from the actual broadcast video, the machine is more like a high-altitude fixed position:

 On the traversing plane, Beverly Hills Aerials company's own model was used with ATOM One Mini cameras. K/60p machine can shoot 4 videos and has a global shutter. At the same time, it is very small, carrying the aircraft still can fly 137 km / h speed.

 However, for the sake of safety, the broadcast team is more cautious about the use of traversing machines. It doesn't fly directly over the car, it just flies on the side of the track and keeps a distance from the car that flies at more than 300 km / h.

 In terms of shooting effect, people in the industry who are used to passing through the machine's dazzling video may feel mediocre, but for ordinary viewers, it is a very novel and exciting perspective:

 Similarly, NBC Sports also used drones and traversing aircraft in NHL hockey broadcasts.

Similar to the car relay, large drones are mainly used to take long, slow and smooth panoramic images, while FPV traversers rotate and jump on the spot, but also for safety reasons, It is not allowed to enter the formal arena. But in the foreseeable future, the use of traversing machines in such events will become more and more common, and the shooting methods will become more and more diverse.

 An almost certain fact is that the film and television industry is focusing on traversing machines, which are likely to become a new trend in film and television shooting as products, applications and demand increase. This change may also be about to appear in our deep change. But the biggest obstacle is safety. Once the fast and difficult to control the traversing machine is "fried ", it is likely to cause serious damage to others or site facilities. As a result, everyone is also paying special attention to how DJI's upcoming FPV aircraft will solve this problem. Some people also worry that the low threshold of the "start to fly" model will let many novice rookies blindly through the machine, causing adverse effects and damage to the original user group.

 Conversely, if DJI can solve these problems, then DJI FPV will undoubtedly add a lot of force to the popularity of aerial photography. As the release date approaches, there are also more leaks in the product's official chart, which is expected:
