Today, we are pleased to announce theCendenceremote controller, CrystalSky monitors, and accessories for both new products.

Cendence

With the Cendenceremote controller, the initial idea was to combine the Inspire 2, Tracktenna*¹, and CrystalSky monitor as a highly-integrated unit. As an essential part of this approach,Cendence offers modular components and controls that fully realize the real potential of Inspire 2 applications.

 Professional Remote Controller

In many ways,theCendenceremotecontroller was custom-built for the Inspire 2. However, it also offers compatibility with other professional grade DJI products.

-    Provides up to five analog control channels and over ten customizable buttons, improving overall control efficiency.

-    Cendence'sdesign offers antenna interchangeability. A high-gain antenna*², or DJI’sTracktenna, can augment the power of DJI Lightbridge technology, significantly increasing overall anti-interference and image quality.

-    HDMI, SDI, USB, and CAN ports provide robust expansion capabilities.

- Cendencecomes with the fully integratedCendenceMonitor Mounting Bracket.

Combines Multiple Functions

Dials, Levers, and Knobs

The two knobs on the front panel control gimbal pitch and yaw, and the right/left levers and Focus Adjustment Knob are used to tune flight controller settings and the gimbal camera in real-time, allowing you to pull focus and set aperture.

Camera Settings

For quick camera adjustments, you can customize several shortcut buttons for particular groups of settings, or save frequently used settings. 

Custom Control

Customizable buttons can quickly enable or disable frequently used functions like focus peaking, color waveform, obstacle avoidance, and home point resetting, or close warnings and tips midflight, all without using an app.

Button Combinations

Rotate the dials or the toggle the right/left levers while holding certain buttons to control gimbal roll, shutter speed, aperture, or ISO.

Detachable Design, CrystalSky Compatibility

The CrystalSky monitor mounts totheCendenceremotecontroller via theCendenceMonitor Mounting Bracket.

TheCendenceremote controller’s antennas, PCB, mounting bracket, and battery are all detachable, making its hardware easily upgradable, allowing you to customize the controller for compatibility with future DJI aircraft.

Dual Operator Control

Multiple Ports

3)      The USBA port supports connecting with other mobile devices

Battery System

Cendenceuses a detachable battery that operates for up to four hours. If you run out of power, just swap in a charged battery or chargeCendencevia the power port.Cendenceuses the same batteries as CrystalSky monitors, enhancing product synergy.

Multiple Accessories

Practical accessories make usingCendenceeasy.

1)      The CendenceSupport Rig^*1 takes on part of the controller’s weight, making it easier to hold for long periods of time.

2)      Control Stick Covers^*2 prevent dust from entering both sticks, ensuring smooth and reliable control.

3)      The Interchangeable Mobile Device Holder lets you attach a phone or tablet instead of a CrystalSky monitor.

DJI Tracktenna

Introduction

Wireless communication equipment needs to have excellent reception, be resist interference, and transmitstablesignal over long distances to meet industry professional standards.

And when controlling a drone with a remote controller, pointing the antennas towards it is the best way to improve stability and bandwidth. However, in environments with obstructions, movement constraints, and magnetic interference, turning to face the drone isn’t always possible or sufficient to get the job done.

With boosted gain and automatic repositioning, the DJITracktennais the perfect signal strength solution for professional UAV operators.

Antenna Technology

Tracktenna's directional array antenna transmits high-gain signal at 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz. At 5.8 GHz, signal reception is 32 times stronger, with up to 100 times reduced interference. Using industry-leading circuits, a low noise amplifier, and a power amplifier,Tracktennacompensates for cable power loss quickly and easily.

When used with DJI'sCendenceremote controller and Inspire 2 drone,Tracktennareaches its full potential, transmitting data at 10 Mbps within a 2 km range for optimal image transmission. When long-distance flight is required,Tracktennaoffers a maximum transmission range of up to 10 km.*

**Please ensure you obey local laws and regulations when flying beyond line of sight.**

Auto Tracking

By using a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, barometer, and GNSS module,Tracktennawill determine the antenna’s current heading and attitude. Along with remote controller data transmitted via the CAN bus port,Tracktennawill detect the aircraft's position, pointing towards it with its 2-axis gimbal.

Cendence Remote Controller Compatibility

Tracktennadirectly connects to theCendenceremote controller with 1.5 m or 15 m DJI CAN bus and coaxial cables.

Unmatched Versatility

Automatic repositioning delivers signal stability and interference reduction, whetherTracktennais mounted to a tripod or moving in a car, boat, orother vehicle.

When connected to theCendenceremote controller,Tracktennawill automatically increase signal whether it’s the master or slave controller in use.

Wide-Ranging Applications

Full compatibility with theCendenceremote controller, Inspire 2, and Matrice 200 series aircraft, means thatTracktennais a powerful tool for power line inspections, search and rescue, filmmaking, HD live video broadcasting, and more.
