Good morning, for many people the release of the Mavic 2 Zoom and Pro models came too late. The drones were launched on August 23rd when most people had already been on vacation. Except for this Migimack. He took the Mavic 2 Zoom and brought it with him on his travels to Europe. He visited London, Brussels, Lake Como, and Milan. And the footage he brought was is stunning. Be sure to check it out below! As far as news goes, there has been another price increase from DJI and we have a review on the Parrot Anafi for you. So grab your coffee and jump right in.

Good morning, here we are with yesterday’s headlines. First, we have some new photos of the two silver Phantom drones that we have seen before. The ones with the interchangeable lenses. DJI claims that these are one-off for a commercial customer. Many of our readers say that is BS and that these photos may indeed show the new Phantom 5. As you can see in the new photos, the drone itself looks very much like the Phantom 4 series. Maybe these are just test camera/gimbals for the upcoming Phantom 5 that are being tested on the Phantom 4 body. What do you think? Furthermore, I am at InterDrone the next couple of days and will try to keep you up-to-date with the latest news and insights from the commercial drone industry. Enjoy!
