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

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
