DJI has a new teaser under the slogan “See The Bigger Picture” indicating that the previously rumored Mavic Pro II drone will be announced on July 18th at 10am in New York.
Update: the new drone is rumored to feature the new 12MP Sony IMX226 CMOS 1/1.7″ STARVIS sensor (see PDF spec sheet):
Some 1st class resellers have flown the thing this week. For machine vision of MPII, it will be highly identical to my earlier thoughts if they tell the truth.
