DJI Helps Fight Coronavirus with Drones

Since emerging in China in December 2019, coronavirus has spread around the world. As of February 12, the death toll within mainland China exceeded 1,113, with 44,563 confirmed cases. To help address fears of this epidemic and resolve the crisis, public safety officials in China have explored how to use new technologies — and DJI has stepped up to that challenge with drones.



On February 4, we pledged almost US $1.5 million in aid to help contain the outbreak. We have also adapted our Agras series of agricultural spraying drones to spray disinfectant in potentially affected areas. Drones can dramatically improve how China attempts to tackle the virus in public areas: They can cover far more ground than traditional methods, while reducing risk to workers who would otherwise spend more time potentially exposed to both the virus and the disinfectant.

Optimising Healthcare Services with Drone Technology

Imagine realising that you or a loved one were in desperate need of an essential medical service but discovered it would take days, if not weeks, for it to be delivered.

This is an unfortunate reality for small communities in the Dominican Republic. In most rural areas that rely on traditional methods, vital medical resources are not always readily accessible. Locals can sometimes go weeks without receiving adequate care, which equates to a lot of lives being at risk. A realistic and cost-efficient solution is needed.

Check out this video story and this article on ViewPoints to learn how powerful DJI equipment has helped increase efficiency during important medical deliveries in Dominican Republic.


Mavic 2 Enterprise Braves -40ºC Temperatures in Antarctica

Mavic 2 Enterprise Braves -40ºC Temperatures in Antarctica

Over a twelve month period, Bruno Cusa, a talented director of photography who gained his specialistation in aerial photography during working on the Tour de France, the Dakar Rally, and alongside aerial photography legend and DJI Master Yann Arthus-Bertrand, used the DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise to help create a special documentary for the French Polar Institute at the Concordia scientific station in Antarctica.

Despite the challenge of flying a drone in such an extreme location, which Bruno describes as “the most remote place on Earth”, this was the perfect terrain for experimenting with the special features and capabilities of the Mavic 2 Enterprise which was released just before this mission.

The extreme cold temperature (-40 Celsius) and pitch-dark polar nights are challenging for both man and machine, however, the Mavic 2 Enterprise handled this untamed weather and stood up to the test.

Share Bruno’s incredible Antarctic experience with your readers from this interview and video documenting the scientific mission.

Vignettes of a Salesman, a Nostalgic Story Shot with a Hasselblad

A figure of the past, the door-to-door salesman is the revived centrepiece of Ole Marius Joergensen’s series Vignettes of a Salesman. With a love for the world of cinema, Ole uses vivid cinematic lighting to tell the story of the wandering salesman, who finds himself in quiet Norwegian landscapes and empty rooms, seemingly the last of his kind. Using the Hasselblad H3D, Ole stages these stunning scenes as an ode to 1950s Scandinavia, infused with nostalgia for simpler times and mystery around the faceless salesman.

These nostalgic “vignettes” can be shared with your readers by directing them to the Hasselblad official website.
