New DJI parachute helps protect Matrice 400 drone during emergencies - DroneDJ

Last week DJI answered everywhere but America; this week the asymmetry turned concrete — Insta360's X6 sailed through the exact US FCC certification the Covered List denies DJI's new gear. DJI did what it still can: it widened the Pocket 4 Pro's non-US rollout and teased a third straight enterprise drone, while the World Cup crackdown blew past 500 seizures and reached CNN. Five stories, in priority order, with our take on each.

DJI's new parachute for the Matrice 400 deploys in <600ms, slowing descent to <5m/s—independent power lasts an hour even if the drone dies. For enterprise ops, this could be the difference between a crash and a safe landing.
