The project itself was started as early as 2014, and only in 2016 the Atlas Dynamics and IT development team managed to finally prepare the product for serial production.
The Atlas Dynamics team is well-known in the world community in the field of aircraft modeling, IT analysis, design and development of corporate offerings, research in color image processing methods using FPGA technologies (as hardware implementation of algorithms), Ruby on Rails (RoR) software, In the field of creating microprocessors and developing software.
Yi-technology owns a well-known brand Xiaomi and is famous for its current action camera, which is not inferior in quality to the famous GoPRO.
We hasten to introduce a new player in the market of consumer drones. Atlas Dynamics company with the direct participation of Yi-technology, announced the start of pre-orders for the fastest household drill - YI ERIDA. The project itself was started as far back as 2014, and only in 2016 the Atlas Dynamics and Itechnology development team managed to finally prepare the product for serial production.

As a result of such an alliance of Atlas Dynamics and Yi-technology, from the words of Yi Tech CEO - Shawn Da, three problems were resolved: complexity of the design, availability of the product for any customer and extremely short flight times. Drone Erida like any other our product is a high-tech, intuitive and competitively priced product. This is the embodiment of many years of painstaking work in the field of photography video and aeronautics. We took into account all the shortcomings of the products from the well-known brands of UAVs and thereby realized a new standard in the unmanned industry.

Copter YI ERIDA - a drone of a premium class. A sports copter with an impressive maximum speed of a horizontal flight of 120 kilometers per hour. Just as impressive is its flight time. According to the developers, it is 40 minutes.
Yes, you read correctly, up to 40 minutes of flight at a speed of 120 km / h and all thanks to a three-beam carbon structure. The drone weighs less, and therefore requires less energy (compared to the quadrocopter). In fact, 40 minutes is much more than the average time of a quadrocopter flight in this price range ($ 500).
But that's not all. Copter YI ERIDA also has in the arsenal of 4k camera with 12Mp CMOS sensor IMX377 from Sony suspended on a 3-axis suspension. Control copter, as well as its camera will be carried out via a mobile device through the App application "ERIDA".
The camera suspension is also adapted for connecting the drones with GoPRO cameras.
The action camera developed by Yi-technology specialists is the top product from this brand, so you should not worry about the quality of the picture as mentioned above. FPV flight is realized by means of Wi-Fi, the first-person image will be displayed on your device. The application "ERIDA" is maximally adapted for piloting the drones, the algorithm of which has been completely redesigned and differs from the existing principles.
As already mentioned above, the YI ERIDA is mainly made of carbon - one of the most durable and light materials at the moment. Carbon base will significantly reduce the consequences caused by serious accidents.
The front beams of the YI ERIDA are easily folded, so that the drone can be laid in a small bag. This is a big plus for travelers and lovers of active recreation. The manufacturer also took care of the portable case for active consumers, it is quite roomy and has the dimensions of a medium-sized backpack and is also made of carbon fiber.
In addition to the impressive flight times mentioned above, the drone of YI ERIDA has several top-end capabilities. For example, the maximum range is 4 km. In addition to retaining altitude, auto takeoff and landing, YI ERIDA has 6 modes of autonomous flight:

Copter YI ERIDA has a great potential, mainly due to the 4K camera. This is one of the best offers in this price range, only $ 500 and you have a drone with a 4k camera with an emphasis on action photography capable of reaching speeds of up to 120 km / h in 40 minutes. Atlas Dynamics company offered its view on unmanned devices and clearly showed that the drone does not need to have 4-rotor screws and this is when other leaders of the UAV industry focused exclusively on quadrocopters. Because of the lack of competition, the YI ERIDA Copter has every chance of obtaining consumer recognition.
