EHang Unveils New Models for Popular GHOSTDRONE 2.0

The new GHOSTDRONE 2.0 models continue EHang's long-standing mission to bring safe, easy, enjoyable flight to the masses. From the first GHOSTDRONE to the world-renowned EHang 184 Autonomous Aerial Vehicle, EHang uses best-in-class engineering to design aerial vehicles that can be flown by everyday consumers, eschewing manual RC controllers for the more accessible mobile experience.

"We believe users are intimidated by the complexity of flying their first drone. But with our new VR goggles and 4K cameras, it's easier and more intuitive than ever to take to the skies," said Derrick Xiong, CMO of EHang. "These new models bring us one big step closer to our mission of making drone flight an easy, fun and user-friendly experience for everyone. Whether you're rafting in the Rockies or filming your kid's sports, the GHOSTDRONE 2.0 allows you to capture amazing moments with crystal clarity, and from a new perspective."

The GHOSTDRONE 2.0 Aerial and VR models combine accessibility with top-line engineering and design to take the flying experience to the next level. Features include:

• VR Goggles – EHang's proprietary VR goggles create an immersive flight experience like never before, allowing users to "see" out of the eyes of their drone with zero-latency. And with the goggles' innovative head-tracking feature, users intuitively control the camera angle of their drone simply via head movement.
• Tilt Control – The GHOSTDRONE 2.0's proprietary Tilt Control makes the complex process of navigating a drone intuitive and comfortable. Instead of using joysticks or a complicated RC controller, the GHOSTDRONE 2.0 uses a smartphone's internal accelerometer and gyroscope to control the drone's flight –  simply tilt the phone in any direction, and the drone follows the pilot's lead. Drone pilots only need to download the EHang Play mobile app, compatible with both Apple and Android devices.
• Seamless, Professional-Grade Filming – New, gimbal-stabilized 4K cameras allow every pilot to easily shoot professional-quality aerial photography and filming without any blurriness or shaking. Recording is as easy as a tap of a button in EHang's mobile app, and the picture has never been clearer!
• Upgraded App – Connecting, flying, and recording with the GHOSTDRONE 2.0 is easier than ever, thanks to key firmware updates in the EHang Play App, which offers a brand new user-friendly interface, improved G-Box connectivity, and smoother flight in Avatar Mode.
• Full-year replacement policy – The GHOSTDRONE 2.0 was designed with safety and durability in mind, but accidents happen. And they shouldn't be a barrier to new drone pilots learning the ropes. With the purchase of the G 2.0 Aerial and VR models, EHang consumers get a 12-month warranty guarantee and 24-hour customer service to make sure they get back in the air as quickly as possible.

Both the Aerial and VR models are available for purchase at Fry's and Amazon, or online via the EHang website for $599 and $1099 respectively. The VR goggles can also be purchased separately as an accessory for $349.
