quad
Even they call it a
Drone (like our Customs department ;D
Mi Drone, a 4K camera quadcopter that looks more or less like DJI's Phantom series
Self tightening props
As in Phantom 1 , 2, 3 series
(http://www.blogcdn.com/slideshows/images/slides/390/275/8/S3902758/slug/l/xiaomi-mi-drone-blade-1.jpg)
Battery
Externally exactly like DJI smart intelligent battery , don't know whether this thing work only with xiaomi batteries or not l
(http://i.imgur.com/9FTXZGs.jpg)
Controller
Looks like a play station joystick , Dual antennas ,
And that switch like on/ off one for flying and the other one is for RTL , in DJI RTL is triggered using a push switch
Dedicated charging port , a usb port
Control for the camera is place like in DJI Tx left side
Like in DJI TX this one should also indicate the TX battery status
2 km range
(http://www.blogcdn.com/slideshows/images/slides/390/275/9/S3902759/slug/l/xiaomi-mi-drone-controller-1.jpg)
Camera
Looks like OSMO , more similar to the cam in Yuneec Q500
Two LED indicators ??? WiFi / signal and Recording indicator , :banghead: why so ? indicator infront of the camera , can't even see when the quad is flying at heights ,
May be they may release a hand held system too like the one with Yuneec Q500
(http://www.blogcdn.com/slideshows/images/slides/390/275/7/S3902757/slug/l/xiaomi-mi-drone-camera-1.jpg)
Landing skids
Plastic build like in phantom
(http://www.blogcdn.com/slideshows/images/slides/390/275/6/S3902756/slug/l/xiaomi-mi-drone-side-1.jpg)
and here's a difference may be they are retractable or they made it so for the easiness of carrying this
no flying videos out now with retracted landing skids , any way they are movable while in Phantoms they are fixed
(http://i.imgur.com/nO1DHLK.jpg)
Positioning
GPS + GLONASS
Vision positioning system as in P3 onward
(http://i.imgur.com/n0nzpYt.jpg)
Under arm LED's
Like in phantom 4
(http://www.blogcdn.com/slideshows/images/slides/390/275/6/S3902756/slug/l/xiaomi-mi-drone-side-1.jpg)
Details available at www.mi.com/miuav/ in Chinese :-\
Me like (:|~ (:|~ (:|~
I need this drone badly..its a dji phantom killer drone. 4k camera, gimball and a drone that can fly 3 km cost only 30k. Unbelievable price.

Auto takeoff and landing:

Waypoint flying

RTH demo
https://youtu.be/pfWrqZjK75A
4K variant is expected to be available at $450 and the 1080 variant will be priced at $380
Banggood has listed 4K variant at $499. Don't even think of importing it in India at this moment unless you want Customs to seize it.

I like the looks. When they make the spare parts available, I think I'd try to get the shell and then use my own parts to build a poor man's "Mi Drone" ;D
Any info bout the radio link (lightbridge)

Hi Argha,
When you order stuffs through banggood and aliexpress,their are people called 'forwarders' to take care of the customs.But when you order it directly by yourself,it's your responsibility to clear through customs.
Since it's pretty much costly,it's suggested that you apply for a license.There are possibilities that they might misjudge your purposes.It's always better to not argue with the govt. officials.
1.Get a permission from dgca.
2.Get licensed.(both are mandatory for you to get your drone).

@6.7Hope this is helpful.

So sad to hear that. Google search ended in DGCT homepage and some vague details which is impossible for normal people.
http://dgft.gov.in/exim/2000/MEIShelp.pdf [No idea what it is, seems to be meant for DGCT approval]
At-least customs should sent it back to the seller.
Fingers crossed. :banghead:
Thanks for the reply i have read the documentation from DGFT and DGCA the issues is I don't know how should i get those licence have been trying to apply online but that's it doesn't work so i am really clueless now how can i get those approval if anybody can help me with the process of approval that would be great
They some time custom ask to pay fine which is 30% of invoice if you import any restricted item.
Keep fingers crossed.
I am ready to pay that !! problem is they are asking for approval form DGFT and Import Licence DGCA which is like asking to bring god signature .. for common man @!!@
30-40% is customs duty for non restricted items. Restricted goods are mostly confiscated if you fail to provide what they have asked. The reason why they are not sending back because most of them are importing to try their luck. If lucky you will get the drone else you get the money. They might have understood this so they are not returning.
BRO DID YOU GET THE MI DRONE. EVEN I AM PLANNING TO GET ONE. AND WHILE ODERING DID YOU MENTION TO MAKE THE PRICE LOWER AND CHANGE THE NAME OF THE ITEM LIKE ELECTRONIC BYCYCLE PARTS PLEASE REPLY EVEN I WANT TO BUY
