I didn’t expect another new product announcement from DJI so soon after the Osmo Action, yet here we are. They’ve recently announced a new drone (that apparently nobody’s allowed to buy) and now they’ve released a new teaser for an announcement coming at some point on June 11th.
The teaser’s called “Learn to Win”, which suggests some kind of competition, and the only competition I can think of when it comes to drones is racing. And the teaser is a little reminiscent of one of those Formula 1 TV shows.
It’s interesting to see DJI taking on the racing drone market if it turns out that’s what it is. With all of the regulations coming into force around the world on drones above a certain size, it’s a logical route for them to take. It will be interesting to see whether they hit the mark for what existing drone racers expect or if DJI goes a more consumer-friendly route.
I guess we’ll find out for sure in a few hours.

Not fun in Canada. ??
Canada’s new drone laws are actually less restrictive than the previous laws (once you get your licence). And tiny drones still don’t need a license here.
Dji don’t know shit to about racing quads and never will end of story if they do attempt it will be slow breakable with bad fpv connection and all be over priced

Why are so many people covering this as being a drone? It’s a UGV. Look at the DJI patent for their ground vehicle. Look at the details of the wheels. Then look at the first second of the video they posted and you’ll see the same special wheels. Also the launch event is only online with no actual event, so this is just some small thing. It might be a racing RC car, but it’s just an RC car. I can’t wait for review though to see if I’d want one.
