Ambarella is one of those names that stays invisible until a company wants to brag about what’s under the hood of their new product. Based in Santa Clara, California, Ambarella builds the AI “brains” that handle heavy video processing and onboard calculations for cameras, instruments, robots, and yes, drones. The company announced that its CV5…
A DJI drone helped catch a suspect after a night crash on U.S. Route 62 in Stark County, Ohio that quickly escalated into a foot pursuit that could have ended very differently without modern tools, as WKYC reports. Deputies say 56 year old John Osler clipped a truck, ripping off a mud flap and a…
DJI tried to keep the RS 5 under wraps, but the Hong Kong website cracked open the vault and spilled everything. Specs, features, accessories, the whole buffet.

The $250 million FEMA distributed to World Cup host states last month came with conditions: agencies must have officers trained or scheduled for training at the FBI National Counter UAS Training Center. Massachusetts just revealed what that looks like in practice, and the distribution tells you more about the security strategy than the press release…
Today was supposed to be a calm, orderly release day for the DJI Ronin RS5 in China, the kind of launch where everything moves behind a velvet rope, region locked websites, carefully timed press briefings, and that familiar DJI sense of total control.

DJI leaks are like sequels that accidentally premiere before the trailer, and today’s Ronin RS5 leak came with an unexpected plot twist. We went in expecting incremental upgrades, a few spec bumps, maybe a new handle and a slightly different shade of black. What we did not expect was to watch a videographer casually keep…
The Baton Rouge Police Department has added a new aircraft to its growing drone unit, and this one immediately stands apart from the rest of the fleet.

Amazon just flagged the DJI Mini 4 Pro with DJI RC 2 as its lowest price in 30 days, and after spending the morning comparing configurations, the math tells an interesting story that most deal roundups are missing. The Mini 4 Pro sits at $959, down 9% from its typical $1,059 price point. That is…

The aerospace giant just called, and they’re bringing $200 million to the table. The Series B round values Harmattan at $1.4 billion, officially making it France’s newest defense unicorn and confirming what we’ve been…
Colorado is turning 150 this year, and instead of celebrating with loud bangs and accidental grass fires, the state is looking up and doing things a little smarter. More than forty locations across Colorado will host CO150 drone shows throughout the year, using hundreds of synchronized drones to tell the state’s story in the night…
The DJI Osmo Nano is one of those cameras that feels like it escaped from the future, tiny body, clever modular design, and just enough DJI magic to make you trust it with moments that matter. But someone looked at this modern little cube and thought, what if it behaved like a vintage medium format…
A routine traffic stop in Lawrence County, Tennessee quickly escalated when a passenger jumped out of the vehicle and ran before deputies could even reach the window.

Coming back from a full day of shooting with 20 or 30 different 360 clips can feel overwhelming. For years, the conventional wisdom said you needed to fire up desktop software to stitch together a cohesive edit from multiple clips. That’s no longer true. The Insta360 app has quietly become a legitimate editing powerhouse, and…
After flying drones for years, reviewing almost every major camera drone, and shooting in every environment imaginable, the biggest mistake repeatedly appearing across thousands of clips is surprisingly simple: pilots blindly copying those “cinematic settings” they find online. The problem runs deeper than most realize, and it affects everyone from beginners to people flying expensive…
