No matter which drone you end up buying, you can never have enough battery life.
When I was reviewing the DJI Neo, I could get about 15 minutes flight time from a battery. With the Fly More kit, I had three batteries, which meant that if I went out with the drone fully charged, I would only be able to fly for about an hour.
Bigger drones have bigger batteries that last longer, but the challenge remains. Once your batteries are done, how two you keep flying, particularly when you’re remote, away from a powerpoint?
DJI’s answer is the Power 500 portable power station. This compact unit packs in 512 Wh of power, gives you more than enough juice to recharge your full battery collection a few times over, so you can be flying again in no time.
But it’s more than just a drone battery. With a full face of connections, the Power 500 is an attractive companion for any content creator or camping enthusiast.
