This DJI drone mapped Everest’s killer icefall without risking a single life - DroneDJ

Last week we said the US door keeps opening for everyone but DJI; this week DJI showed what it's building instead. The teased 'new drone' landed as a safety parachute, a brand-new eVTOL class debuted on top of Everest, the Insta360 X6 leaked wearing the Osmo 360's body — and a mystery model code cleared Chinese certification. Five stories, in priority order, with our take on each.

Drones just replaced Sherpas on Everest's deadliest stretch. A DJI Matrice 4E mapped the Khumbu Icefall in 3.5 hours—no one had to step on the ice. When a serac blocked all routes, the 3D models got climbers moving again fast.
