Sony also said it’s been testing the Airpeak when filming various landscape and urban shots. The company even showcased footage of its S-Vision – which was helped captured by the Airpeak. Sony’s…

Here’s a great new radio setup from Hot RC – the DS-4A One-Handed Transmitter. The DS-4A is great for those wanting to drive one-handed (say, perhaps to video with the other hand) or require a one-handed transmitter due to a disability (we actually have a close friend that races – and he only has one arm!).’The transmitter is set up similar to a flight stick – a pistol-style handle with a trigger (for throttle and brake) and then, on the face, a thumb stick for movement as well as a pushbuttons, knobs and a D-pad for filtering through the trims.Quick…

Tony Phalen October 11, 2022 Recent Posts7-Time F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton was actually quite the RC Racer when he was a kid. In this video, he talks a little about his days in RC, how it taught him about mechanics and maintenance and how it steered him towards a path that ultimately led to his Formula 1 career.We’ve said it all along – RC teaches kids (well, anyone actually) those exact trades plus a bit about Sportsmanship. It’s ok to lose, but do it graciously, and use what you’ve learned to step up your game at the next event.Obviously…

(Pocket-lint) – It looks a lot like DJI is preparing to launch a new drone. In fact, if an early unboxing video is anything to go by, we’re going to see a new category of DJI drone. In the video we see a drone that’s designed, first and foremost to be used using FPV goggles as the monitor. In fact, the combo pack unboxed features those goggles which seem to feature antenna, undoubtely to ensure a reliable connection over distance. As for the drone itself, that’s also quite different to the foldable Mavic-style drones we’re used to seeing on the…

(Pocket-lint) – DJI has unveiled a brand new drone, and unlike its previous consumer models, this one is designed to be used primarily through the company’s FPV goggles. It even says it in the name, it’s the DJI FPV.  That means rather than strap your phone to the controller to use your phone as a screen, you strap the FPV goggles and see the camera feed directly through that, flying ‘on the nose’.  Its design is radically different to any of the Mavic series too. The camera is placed higher up in the front of the nose, while the arms…

(Pocket-lint) – A yet-be-announced DJI drone, called the Air 2S, has leaked online via a slew of images posted by TechnikNews and leaker Roland Quandt. These leaks follow a US Federal Communications Commission filing from last month, all of which suggests a launch is imminent. The DJI Air 2S will likely be an update to last year’s Mavic Air 2. It’s thought to feature an improved camera and compatibility with DJI’s new accessories, like the V2 Goggles and Motion Controller. Renders and a trailer shared earlier by OsitaLV depict a drone with a 1-inch, 20-megapixel sensor. That’s a lower resolution…
