Two recent patents by unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) manufacturer DJI were recently revealed showing what the company may have in the works presently. DJI is known for its range of drones and camera gimbals but these new patents show the company is planning to expand the capabilities of its products.
The first patent comes with the patent number CN209756678U_ vehicle and its lifting device. It is an unmanned vehicle similar to an RC car that can be equipped with a universal bracket. According to the patent description, this is a motorized rover with a camera on top. The camera car has four 360-degree rotating wheels. The large and sturdy wheels suggest that its design can be adapted for off-road use. The wheels are separated from the camera by a rod that can be moved up and down. The camera is placed on the top of the car while there is a damper below it. There is also a shock absorber on the bracket to better eliminate the shake. The camera can also be replaced. In addition, the vehicle’s chassis can be raised according to the driving speed and road conditions or lowered to adapt to various driving situations.

The second patent is a handheld gimbal that looks like a smaller version of DJI Ronin 2 with a patent number – CN110573786A_ Stabilizing device and handheld gimbal device.
These patents were applied for in December 2019 so, there is a high probability that in 2020 DJI may launch the two new products.
