Sling Media, a subsidiary of DISH Network Corp, has launched a platform suitable with DJI drones.
It’s a match that works on either side.

SlingStudio, says the corporate, is a “multi-camera production system that changes how directors, of all skill levels, can think about creating and sharing professional-grade video content.”

“SlingStudio is the first affordable, wireless and portable multi-camera video production and live broadcasting system optimized for aerial footage,” says the corporate. “The remote controller of compatible DJI drones plugs into SlingStudio’s HDMI input port, or connects to SlingStudio wirelessly via the CameraLink wireless adapter. The drone streams live footage to its controller base, which then routes the video to the SlingStudio hub via the HDMI or CameraLink connection. This allows the drone to send high-quality video to SlingStudio from anywhere within the drone’s recommended range.”
Starting at round $1000 plus equipment – not to point out the price of the drones – the system isn’t for informal photographers. But in contrast to different drone videography options, and the price of industrial drones to carry heavy cameras, it’s definitely an possibility in attain of smaller movie firm or college.
“SlingStudio simplifies production for videographers looking to film with multiple drones, or drones in combination with ground cameras,” stated Vivek Khemka, DISH chief know-how officer. “Its wireless, drone friendly setup allows drone pilots to capture footage without being limited by cords or cumbersome film equipment.”
