Powerful DJI Zenmuse drone accessories unveiled

DJI is a well-known company that sells consumer-focused drones like the DJI Neo, which we have already reviewed shortly after its launch last year. However, the brand also produces drones for professional users that weigh more than the usual 250 grams. These heavier drones can easily carry some accessories, which is why DJI has now launched the Zenmuse V1 and Zenmuse S1.

The Zenmuse V1 is a speaker that could be useful for giving verbal instructions to visitors at events, or to direct traffic. It can play pre-recorded voice messages and can even turn text into speech. The drone speaker can also play regular audio files, which could be used for advertisements. From about 3 ft away, the speaker hits a volume of up to 127 dB, which should be loud enough for an effective range of up to 500 yd. The attachment has an IP54 certification, weighs 1.5 lbs and officially costs $889.

Additionally, DJI is offering the Zenmuse S1 flashlight, which is also compatible with the Matrice 300 RTK and Matrice 350 RTK. The accessory weighs around 1.7 pounds and consumes up to 68 watts for its spotlight that outputs 30 lux at a distance of 350 yd. The flashlight has a maximum range of over 500 yd and a low-beam mode with a 15° instead of 4° field of view. The flashlight further offers a strobe mode and can be put on a gimbal. The official MSRP is $1,269.
