FDG815 vs DJI M300 camera drone

When it comes to surveying and mapping or camera drones, the first thing people think of is the famous DJI M300, "It's not as powerful as a drone, but more like a mech warrior, which exists in science fiction movies."

The battery life of most consumer drones is only about 30 minutes, and battery performance may be affected in cold weather. The M300 has a terrifying battery life of 55 minutes, and also supports hot swapping. You can replace one battery first and then another without shutting down the battery. After replacing the battery, you no longer need to spend time restarting the system and software.

The DJI M300 is equipped with the Zenmuse H20 20-megapixel zoom camera, 12-megapixel wide-angle camera, 30Hz high frame rate thermal imaging camera, and a laser rangefinder with a detection distance of 1,200 meters, with up to 23x hybrid optical zoom. With the M300 RTK, it can realize intelligent shooting functions such as dot positioning, intelligent tracking, precise re-shooting, and ultra-clear matrix photography.

But such a powerful camera drone is really not a product that dealers like, because first, DJI drones only match DJI's mounting equipment. Second DJI price system. DJI's distribution price system made it difficult for dealers to make much money, so another camera drone-FDG815 appeared on the market.
 FDG815 small quadcopter drone is a small size aerial platform for mapping, surveillance, inspection and food delivery. Its compact folding airframe enables easy operation and flexible maneuvering. – Forged from a combination of carbon fiber, PCB and CNC, the flight time boosts up to 90 minutes with no payload, and it still reaches 45minutes with 2.5kg payload.

The FDG815 can be equipped with any camera on the market, and customers can choose the camera they want according to their needs and are no longer bound by DJI.
