Filmmaker Reilín Joey has published a behind-the-scenes breakdown of the official DJI Osmo Pocket 4 launch commercial, a production he directed and edited across 12 locations on two continents. The video, released July 7, 2026, follows the shoot from safari scenes near Cape Town, South Africa, to a typhoon-compressed schedule in Hong Kong, and closes…
DJI pushed version 2.10.10 of its Mimo app to Apple’s App Store on July 1, and the release notes read like a feature list for the Osmo Pocket 4P, the dual-lens pocket gimbal that still has no US launch date. The update adds four Master Filters, full D-Log 2 support in Color Presets, share codes…
Good day folks, Shawn here from Air Photography. This is my beginner’s guide for the brand new Insta360 Luna Ultra. If you’ve never used a camera like this before, or perhaps you’re coming from a more traditional action camera, I’m going to go over everything you need to know about it, how to use it,…
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…
I tested the Insta360 Luna Ultra in Alaska — dual lenses, a detachable remote, 8K I-Log, and Leica color. Here's why it may be 2026's most exciting camera.

Frequently asked questions
What is D-Log and why would a drone pilot use it?
D-Log is a flat, desaturated color profile that preserves more dynamic range for color grading later, at the cost of footage that looks washed out straight off the drone. The D-Log guide covers three reasons to use this professional color profile, aimed at pilots ready to trade an unedited preview for more editing headroom.
Does this desk cover ND filters specifically, or camera accessories more broadly?
Both, with a practical, gear-first approach. Recommendations run from ND filters to controller grips to lens accessories, including a 90mm lens option for the DJI Inspire 3 offering strong parallax and safety benefits at an affordable price.
Are accessory recommendations drone-specific or generic?
Drone-specific. Coverage includes dedicated accessory picks for the DJI Mini 4 Pro and the DJI Air 3S individually, aimed at the actual accessory ecosystem available for each model rather than generic gear that may not fit.
