The network currently works with sub-250g drones only, specifically the DJI Mini 2 & DJI Mini 3 / Mini 3 PRO / Mini 4 PRO (and we’ll soon support other sub-250g drones as access become available).

Only controllers that use a separate mobile device as the screen are compatible with the Spexi mobile app. The DJI RC / PRO versions with built-in screens are NOT compatible at this time.

We have chosen to standardize on the sub-250g drone class for a variety of reasons, including:

  • They are easy to fly and have global distribution. We estimate there have been millions of DJI Mini 2 / Mini 3 / Mini 4 drones sold worldwide.

  • During flight, they produce very little noise and are barely audible once they reach the altitude required for image capture.

  • Many countries worldwide classify sub-250g drones as low risk, meaning pilots can fly them legally with fewer operating restrictions.

In the future, we plan to add more drone models and brands to the platform.
