Every firmware drop, every FCC filing, every leak out of Shenzhen. DJI is the most-covered drone maker on DroneXL — this is the desk that watches them.
DJI has added a third camera to its O4 Air Unit lineup, and the headline number is the field of view. The new DJI O4 Wide Air Unit swaps the standard model’s 117.6-degree lens for a 159-degree ultra-wide one, giving FPV builders the immersive, edge-to-edge perspective they have been buying aftermarket lenses to get. The…
Upside Down Labs, the open-source biosensing company, built a real-time brain-computer interface that flies a Ryze Tello using signals read straight off the human body. The system pulls EEG brain activity, EMG muscle activity, and EOG eye movement through the company’s Neuro PlayGround Lite board, converts them into flight commands, and sends them to the…
Filmmaker Philip Bloom has flagged a serious image-quality fault in the Insta360 Luna Ultra that the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 simply does not share: when the Luna runs in any auto-ISO mode, it boosts the image with digital gain and then scrubs the resulting noise with heavy noise reduction, leaving footage that turns to mush.…

Today we are reviewing the DJI Avata 360. There has been a lot of hype and excitement around this drone, with the promise of capturing 360-degree footage at 8K and choosing how to frame it later. There is probably a good reason for it. Comments range from “this could be the future of FPV” to…
Welcome to your weekly US news update. I have three stories for you this week. The Skydio CEO walks back their no-weapon pledge, which is an interesting one. A Sacramento sheriff uses a DJI Avata 2 to disarm a suspect, which is kind of another crazy story. And then finally, the FBI seizes over 300…
