Key features:

Compact palm-sized Defender 16 and the lightest 4K whoop drone with a takeoff weight of 128g. It is not only regulation-friendly but also the safest in its series, allowing you to fly anywhere and anytime.

Custom O3 Lite Air Unit

Equipped with the DJI O3 Air Unit HD video transmission system, the Defender 16/20 supports 4K/120fps video and shoots up to a 155° super-wide viewing angle for excellent visual effects.

Functional power button

Better operation thanks to a single physical button that not only turns the power on/off but also has built-in programmable RGB lighting for visual battery level indication. A protection circuit has been added to extend the life of the battery connector and prevent sudden voltage or current spikes, which can protect electronics from damage.

Innovative quick-swap battery system with Type-C charging adapter

The Defender 16 comes with a standard 2S 900mAh battery, providing up to 6 minutes of flight time. The battery has a protective shell and an innovative quick-swap structure for easy replacement. An updated Type-C adapter for fast charging allows charging up to 80% in just 18 minutes. The battery has a built-in auto-balancing module that discharges when inactive, ensuring safety and peace of mind.

Ease of use for beginners and professionals

Don't be afraid of dust, take off with confidence. Thanks to dust plugs that isolate the interface from the external environment, the device works properly and extends the service life of the interface.

Easy repair. The drone can be disassembled using only 6 screws, which significantly facilitates maintenance and repair.

Plug and play for high-performance AIO, with a 30% increase in redundancy for operation in extreme conditions. Built-in buzzer for quick location in case of accidental loss.

All ports and buttons are conveniently accessible from the outside.

Many easy-to-use features allow you to get started quickly.

No soldering is required for the entire drone; motors and propellers use a plug-in mounting method.

Special VTX mounts with a central mesh hole, along with an air duct in the drone, allow for heat dissipation during flight.

USER1 is pre-configured as a video transmitter power switch, allowing you to manually turn off the VTX when idle to save power and prevent overheating.

Custom O3 camera gimbal with vibration damping to provide more stable video and good preservation of gyro data for camera stabilization, without the "jello" effect.
