The Sony Airpeak drone has been a bit quiet since its big CES 2021 unveiling, but a new video has revealed what could be a key force in its battle with DJI drones. The video (below) shows the Airpeak being tested in a wind tunnel with impressive results: the professional drone and its images seem to remain very stable in winds of over 19m/s, albeit in one direction. Sony says that these tests on a prototype at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency show that "their goal is to achieve a high level of wind resistance while continuing to develop the Airpeak framework." The closest rival to the Sony Airpeak is probably the DJI Inspire 2, which is also aimed at professional aerial filmmakers thanks to its size, speed (0-50mph in five seconds), and camera options like the Zenmuse X5S, which supports images from 5.2K/30p. and formats like Apple ProRes. But the Inspire 2 is now five years old and DJI seems to have recently focused more on the drones that sit on either side of the Inspire 2, namely consumer-focused models like the DJI Air 2S and model makers like the DJI Mavic 2. Enterprise. . Advanced, which includes features such as thermal imaging cameras. This camera allows DJI's corporate drone to be used in areas like firefighting and search and rescue, but it seems Sony has spotted a gap in the Airpeak's professional filming space. The Inspire 2, for example, can only handle wind speeds up to 10m/s, which is half of what Sony hinted at for the Airpeak in its wind tunnel tests.
