In the latest leak around DJI’s FPV drone, it is reportedly almost ready to take flight, with resellers apparently getting evaluation models to test out. After months of leaks, it looks like we are possibly getting one more drone before the year’s end. Fingers crossed!

I know what you are thinking: Don’t most articles detail the exact opposite? I’d say you are correct in that more people are interested in moving up — learning more, doing more, and perhaps even making income from their drone operations. However, in a sense, my short tale is more indicative of where the average drone consumer might want to do — that is to have and use these tools on occasion in order to see the world from a different perspective and to share this work and art with others. 

What a fall it’s been for DJI: The release of product after product after product. So many, in fact, that one of DJI’s senior people took to Twitter about it. And we thought: Yeah, that’s impressive. Let’s review.

As a part of DJI’s Black Friday sale, DJI is giving away a few of its products, including the Mini 2, Mavic Air 2, and Pocket 2, to seven lucky people. DJI is also offering some pretty good deals with up to 46% off and more value when trading in your old gear with DJI Trade Up.

DJI recently released its folding DJI RSC 2 gimbal with some impressive upgrades over the original Ronin SC. Let’s take a look and see what all the fuss is about. DJI released the DJI RSC 2 on October 31 alongside the larger RS 2.

Joe Biden took to the sky tonight with a drone light show in celebration of being projected to win the presidential election and beating Trump to become the 46th U.S. President. The drones took to the sky after Biden addressed the nation with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Insta360 has released its latest camera, Insta360 ONE X2, with a larger battery, a new touch screen display, and an improved microphone array. The Insta360 ONE X2 looks to be more of a version 1.5 with no additional video or photo resolutions added to the camera.

The Insta360 ONE X2 can be picked up right now from Insta360’s online store, Adorama, or Amazon for $429.99.

The next drone rumored to be coming from DJI is the Mavic Mini 2, a refresh of the Mavic Mini to bring 4k to the tiny drone. We have already seen images of what looks to be the Mavic Mini on the FCC database along with a price leak.

Over the last few days, we have begun seeing images of what looks to be the upcoming DJI Osmo Pocket 2 with an improved design and camera. The new DJI Pocket 2 looks to carry over the same overall design with a few changes here and there.

You’ve heard the rumors. You’ve seen the leaked images. And now? The wait is over. We’ve got everything you ever wanted to know about the new Ronins – right here, and right now.

One day before the rumored release date of the upcoming DJI RS 2 and DJI RSC 2 the gimbals have once again leaked. This time they have leaked what looks to be a Chinese camera store showing off the packaging and a few specs of the Ronin SC2.

An image shared on Twitter in response to a tweet about the DJI Mavic 3 killing the Phantom 5 shows off what looks to be graphics for the Phantom 5 launch. We aren’t so sure the image is real – and have doubts that a Phantom 5 is on the way.

Ever worked at a startup? I have. It involves long hours, major milestones, and relentless drive. And that’s just when you’re an employee. It’s an even bigger responsibility when you’re a founder with a vision. Now, a new CNBC video takes a look behind the scenes with the founder of Beagle Drones, a New Jersey company that sells FPV racing drones in a complete kit. It’s a great video, and it led to us having an interview with the founder.

DJI released the DJI OM 4 smartphone gimbal in late August, with the big new feature being the magnetic mounting system. Let’s review it and see if the magnetic mount and other improvements are worth the $149 price tag.

It looked like a promising product: A multi-featured drone that could be configured for heavier lifting. The young team behind it seemed to have a great UAV on its hands. Backers flocked to the Indiegogo site, throwing money at the Toronto-based startup. With rare exceptions, they didn’t receive the drones — or their money back.

After leaks showed off the DJI Osmo Mobile 4, the company has gone ahead and released the new gimbal featuring a new magnetic mounting system and new software features to make mobile filmmaking even easier than before.

Over the last three weeks, we have been putting out polls with our DJI Mavic 3 articles to gauge what the drone community wants to see from DJI. So, let’s take a look at what those who voted in the polls want to see from the DJI Mavic 3.

Well, well, well. About a week after a photo of what could be a DJI FPV racing drone was leaked, there’s further indications that DJI has something up its sleeve in Shenzhen. The latest version of the Android “Fly” app has some new, not obviously visible commands that seem to line up with speculation that DJI might be adding a drone to its FPV Camera/Googles ensemble.

Battery semi-charged? Check. Propellers attached? Check. Then let’s power up and fly! Well, not so fast. Today we’ll make the case — and from personal experience — that it pays to give your gear a routine but deliberate inspection before each and every flight.

In a recent report, New Zealand‘s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) found that 1 in 5 drone pilots are flying illegally in no-fly zones throughout the country. The report also found an increase in drone usage without an increase in the knowledge of drone laws.

DJI has just launched the RoboMaster EP Core ground-based robot with a heavy focus on STEAM education in a classroom environment. The new robot marks DJI’s continuing efforts to push STEAM education into school curriculums.

On July 23rd, the FCC hit HobbyKing with a fine of $2,861,128 for selling video transmitters used on FPV drones that do not comply with the FCC’s rules. The FFC found dozens of the video transmitters sold by HobbyKing to be operating on unauthorized frequencies.

This marks the start of a new series I will be regularly posting under, taking you along my journey to flying FPV drones for the first time. Come along as I learn how to fly and learn more about the hobby as I go along and hopefully learn a thing or two from you, the reader.

The DJI Mavic 3 design has appeared to leak in the latest round of DJI patents uploaded to the Chinese patent office, featuring a new larger camera, updated battery, and new sensor locations. While we aren’t 100% that this is the Mavic 3 it looks likely that it is.
