DJI X7 – Pros & Cons
Today, we discuss the DJI X7 and its potential for mapping and modeling. What are the benefits of using DJI X7? And which drones are compatible with this camera?
Being that the DJI X7 is equipped with a larger imaging sensor, has better dynamic range and can be paired with a variety of lenses, it appears that the camera will be useful for mapping and modeling. Although it only shoots 2400 megapixels, the camera will provide much better maps than other cameras. Additionally, the DJI X7 can fly on an existing Inspire 2, a M200 series, or a number of other DJI drones.
There are, however, a few caveats to the X7 (tune in to find out). Overall, however, we’re excited to get our hands on one. Fly safe!
