There are many drones out there to choose from, even consumer electronics stores now easily have a couple on display. While many countries and states around the world are struggling to keep up with their legislation on the matter, the use of drones has become something almost
After being teased just a couple of days ago, DJI just unveiled the newest addition to the DJI Ronin lineup – the Ronin-SC. As expected, it is smaller and lighter than the Ronin-S with a maximum payload of 4.4 lbs (2 kg) and weight of just 2.4
Even though most single-handed gimbals like the Ronin-S are initially designed to be compact and leightweight, in reality, they end up being too heavy and bulky. Holding such a device for a long period of time could be a real struggle, not to mention the extra weight
Not a drone, not a stabiliser, but a friggin’ robot on wheels with a fully functional gel bead blaster! Whaaaat!? How cool is that? At first, I thought this was a spoof, but apparently it’s real. DJI just unveiled the DJI RoboMaster S1, an advanced educational rover
Apparently, DJI now offers full-service aerial cinematography production with its custom drone for cinema cameras. And no one knows about it. Called, the DJI STORM (offered by DJI Studio), it seems that DJI have setup an entirely new division doing exactly what some of their high-end customers

We’re nearly half-way through 2019 and I don’t know about you, but to me it already feels like trade show overload. Now that we got the big one – NAB out of the way, and before we start the countdown to IBC 2019, which is a good
DJI have just officially announced their first action camera! Considering all unique and innovative features it brings to the table, DJI Osmo Action seems to be the most serious competitor of GoPro HERO series to date. The all-new camera is, of course, compact, lightweight, and sturdily built
The Osmo Pocket, like its bigger Osmo brothers and many other gimbals, offers excellent 3-axis stabilisation. One axis that isn’t stabilised is the up-and-down or Z-axis and this can result in footage with a noticeable bounce when walking. Adding a Z-axis, a spring-based system can smooth this
The DJI Mavic series of drones are fantastic for capturing stunning aerial footage for your films, travel vlogs, corporate videos or broadcast. Affordable, lightweight and easy to fly thanks to the excellent in-built software and intuitive controller. They are ready to fly right out the box but here

As technology advances, devices get smaller and what was thought of as impossible just a few years ago becomes routine. Smartphones and drones would seem like something out of a sci-fi novel just a bunch of years ago. This kind of evolution spreads through the camera industry
Drone footage can add so much to your videos but simply throwing a drone in the air and hitting record won’t get the job done. Shots from a drone should have just as much thought put into them as any other type of camera. The movement of
The DJI Osmo Pocket is proving a popular gizmo for capturing smooth footage and unlike the Blackmagic camera with a similar name, this one will actually fit in our pocket. Is this a professional filmmaking tool? Probably not but it could be a very handy little specialist
3-axis gimbals are an incredibly popular tool for filmmakers looking to achieve smooth movement with their camera but while offering a lot they are rather heavy and carrying them for a long period of time is tough. Here is a simple idea to help take some of
Love them or hate them, drones are here to stay. They are now a standard part of camera kits for travel vloggers, wedding filmmakers, short film shooters, corporate and TV crews and many more. The new DJI Smart Controller is a new addition to this kit, so
