Mark your calendars. LOL "With an MSRP of $4,499, HELIUS is available for pre-order now, with initial shipments expected to begin in Q4 2025."

I'd like the 4G/LTE capability that DJI is still depriving us of here in the U.S. with no functional 4G dongle! Otherwise it's just an expensive Mini 4 Pro.

Ultra-portable, ultra-light weight airframe
• 4G/LTE connectivity
• AI-enabled obstacle avoidance & object tracking
• 4K, 12.3MB Electro Optical, Ultra-low-light sensor with digital tilt, pan and zoom
• Field-swappable, rechargeable batteries
• Up to 45mph max speed
• 30+ min endurance

Affordable.... for a sub250grm drone? Same sensor size as the Autel Nano+ but the resolution is compromised by "...digital pan, tilt & zoom..." That's over four times the cost of a similar DJI bird with a better camera and software. Christ, I'd hate to be American when your lot finally drops the hammer on Chinese tech.

I run DJI 4G dongles in my RC Pro Enterprise controllers for RTK networks. They're legal here.
