The spherical Sony camera can be rotated in all directions and is decoupled by damping of rotor vibration. The 4K camera even supports recording images in RAW format. The camera is equipped with a 104 ° wide-angle lens and a 3-axis gimbal which stabilizes up to 2000 vibrations per second.

Furthermore, autopilot options help to automatically take off and land, planning of waypoints and the flight path. Also, send to a point, circle around an object or play a route can be selected and used. If the the battery gets low, the Mi Drone returns automatically back home An app also makes sure that the Xiaomi Mi drone doesn't enter no-fly zones.
