DJI’s Spreading Wings S1000 is a professional, heavy‑lift octocopter airframe designed for high‑end aerial photography and cinematography. Built around a carbon‑fiber folding frame with retractable landing gear, it prioritizes transportability on set while preserving rigidity in flight. A V‑type eight‑rotor layout with integrated 40A ESCs and 4114 Pro motors provides efficient thrust and stability, and DJI’s spark‑proof power connectors, integrated power distribution, and A2/WooKong‑M controller compatibility streamline reliable builds. With an approximate airframe weight of 4.2 kg and a rated takeoff weight range of 6–11 kg, the S1000 is suited to DSLR‑class payloads such as the Canon 5D series, achieving up to about 15 minutes of flight time using a 6S 15,000 mAh battery. It natively supports the Zenmuse Z15 gimbal line for unobstructed, 360° capture. ([dji.com](https://www.dji.com/ae/newsroom/news/dji-released-its-new-spreading-wings-s1000-octocopter-platform))

Advantages

  • High payload capacity for DSLR‑class cameras (e.g., Canon 5D series) with proven, stable eight‑rotor platform. ([dji.com](https://www.dji.com/ae/newsroom/news/dji-released-its-new-spreading-wings-s1000-octocopter-platform))
  • Transport‑friendly folding arms and propellers plus retractable landing gear for a clear, 360° shooting arc. ([www-v1.dji.com](https://www-v1.dji.com/it/spreading-wings-s1000/feature.html?utm_source=openai))
  • Integrated, spark‑proof power distribution and coaxial connector simplify clean, reliable wiring. ([dji.com](https://www.dji.com/ae/newsroom/news/dji-released-its-new-spreading-wings-s1000-octocopter-platform))
  • Redundancy and stability: V‑type mixer design and DJI flight controller integration help maintain control even with a rotor failure. ([dji.com](https://www.dji.com/ae/newsroom/news/dji-released-its-new-spreading-wings-s1000-octocopter-platform))

Disadvantages

  • Shorter endurance (~15 minutes with typical cinema payloads) compared with newer platforms. ([www-v1.dji.com](https://www-v1.dji.com/jp/spreading-wings-s1000/spec.html?utm_source=openai))
  • Requires assembly/integration and additional components (battery, radio, gimbal/camera) to fly and film. ([bhphotovideo.com](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1080039-REG/dji_cb_sb_000001_spreading_wings_s1000_octocopter.html))
  • Larger, heavy airframe (1045 mm class) may be cumbersome for tight locations and transport compared with compact prosumer drones. ([www-v1.dji.com](https://www-v1.dji.com/jp/spreading-wings-s1000/spec.html?utm_source=openai))
