The GM lens flies in the sky.Sony's gem aerial drone "Airpeak S1" was just a cool guy

GMレンズが空を舞う。ソニー珠玉の空撮ドローン「Airpeak S1」は、とにかくカッコいいヤツだった

You can take a picture from a drone. Sony's first drone "Airpeak S1". Orders began in September this year, and shipments began steadily in November. By the way, the estimated market price is about 1.1 million yen. Ugh. The other day, the first flight demonstration in Japan was held and I participated. [See all images] The GM lens flies in the sky. Sony's gem aerial drone "Airpeak S1" was just a cool guy. It was developed by a team called Sony's AI Robotics Business Group, which has worked on cutting-edge products such as aibo and VISION-S. rice field. This drone is the third product for the team. As you can see from the price, the "Airpeak S1" is completely for professionals. Using AI and sensing technology generously, we have created an epoch-making drone that specializes in linking with Sony's α series. Aerial photography with super high image quality of α7S III and α1, isn't it absolutely fun? Compared to the recently released DJI's flagship drone, the Mavic 3, the flight time is inferior. However, there is a 4 / 3-inch sensor, and the "Airpeak S1" is a full-size sensor + abundant E-mount lenses. There will surely be someone who finds value in the difference. Take a look at the full size flying in the sky!

Fast, smart and quiet

The state of takeoff is as shown in the GIF of the TOP image. This GIF seems to be flying at the demonstration, but the sound was quiet and I was surprised. I mean, I've seen it fly normally, but this means that the α7S III + FE 24mm F1.4 GM is flying in the air. Eun 100,000 yen flies in the sky ... The state of the operator. The dedicated transmitter is used by connecting to the iPad. It seems that the α series SDK is used for software development, and REC and shooting settings can be set from the application side. Until now, it seems that aerial drones used to manually set the camera to REC and then fly the drone, but that is the cooperation between Sony. Both hard and soft are well meshed. You can connect two transmitters wirelessly from one drone, one to control the drone and the other to operate the camera. By separating the division of labor between maneuvering and shooting, you can specialize in each operation. There is a button on the side of the transmitter that looks like a game LR trigger. At the time of one operation, this is operated to move the camera. In addition, there is an HDMI output terminal, so you can output to a larger display. This looks pretty convenient. Drones are not good at hovering near the ground. The airflow of your propeller will cause you to lose your posture. However, the "Airpeak S1" is also good at hovering near the ground. It seems that shooting a ground shot running in parallel with a car will progress. There is also speed. The maximum speed is 90km / h! This is a numerical value without a payload, but even if a camera is installed, the feature is that the flow of acceleration → maximum speed → braking is very smooth. As a medium-sized drone, it has high turning performance. The maximum tilt angle is 55 degrees. Even if you tilt this much, the camera will not tilt, it's the stability of the demon. In terms of safety, obstacle brakes based on vision sensing are automatically activated. It's a little hard to see, but the top of the drone is blinking with a blue LED. He tells me that he will hit an obstacle. Return and landing can be left to the autopilot. It automatically deploys the landing gear (it can be automatically stored in the upper part during takeoff) and lands gently. Takeoff and landing are cool ~.
