Performance

5/5 known
Max speedTop speed in the fastest flight mode. Rarely matters when you are learning.
58 km/h
Max rangeHow far it can fly on one battery in ideal conditions. Real flights are much shorter.
18 km
Wind resistanceThe wind speed the maker says it can handle. Above this, expect drift or a lost drone.
10.7 m/s
Max altitudeHeight above sea level it can operate at, not how high you are allowed to fly.
4000
Hover accuracy
Vertical ±0.1 m (vision) / ±0.5 m (GNSS); Horizontal ±0.3 m (vision) / ±1.5 m (GNSS)

Camera

8/8 known
CameraMegapixels for stills. A bigger sensor matters more than a bigger number here.
48 MP
Sensor sizeThe physical size of the camera sensor. Bigger sensors handle low light better.
1/1.3"
Max videoThe highest video mode. Higher resolution and higher frame rate are a trade-off.
4K/30fps
ApertureHow much light the lens lets in. A lower f-number is better in dim conditions.
f/1.7
Video bitrateHow much data per second the video uses. Higher keeps more detail in motion.
100
Max ISOHow far the camera can brighten a dark scene before it gets noisy.
3200
Zoom
4K: 2x; 2.7K: 3x; FHD: 4x
Gimbal axesMotorised axes that steady the camera. Mechanical stabilisation beats electronic.
