(Pocket-lint) – There’s nothing particularly professional about DJI’s Mini drones. They’re typically designed for consumers who want to dip their toes into aerial photography – but a new leak suggests a Pro variant could be on the way. Notorious DJI leaker OsitaLV posted an image on Twitter that shows what appears to be the box of a DJI Mini 3 Pro, though he doesn’t seem too confident in its legitimacy. Before further confirmation, I’ll regard this pic as joking. pic.twitter.com/En7LIBv1jf — OsitaLV (@OsitaLV) March 1, 2022 On the other hand, Jasper Ellens, who previously leaked the specs of the Mavic…

With the advent of 3D printing, there are a plethora of printers that can be purchased. Because of the number of printers to choose from, it can be a daunting task to pick the right one for your application. For a few years I have been using 3D printing and design for my RC aircraft, mostly designing and printing small new or redesigned parts. I wanted a larger build platform, and chose the Creality3D CR-10S Pro 3D printer, a 300 x 300 x 400mm build platform. Its tall build area lets you design and print larger pieces, like wings and…

(Pocket-lint) – The drone market has a heck of a lot of great value options right now, but it’s fair to say that an outsized proportion of them come from DJI alone. Digital Camera Info has spotted a patent application filed this week by Canon that looks to all intents and purposes like a drone, one with landing apparatus that fold away once it’s airborne. The main camera unit looks a lot like the already existing Canon Powershot Pick, a mounted camera that can follow people around automatically, so it could be using that device’s panning and other automatic features…

(Pocket-lint) – DJI is rumoured to be working on a Mini 3 drone, and a new leak has surfaced revealing what appears to be a redesigned body, as it looks somewhat different from the Mini 2. On Twitter, @DealsDrone has shared a leaked video of what is supposedly the body framework for the upcoming DJI Mini 3. Supposedly, the brackets for the new rotating front arms are different from the horizontally folding ones on the Mini 2, possibly so that they can support larger propellers. The new leak might also show a different front with possible gimbal support. DJI Mini…

(Pocket-lint) – The rumour mill is operating at full speed surrounding DJI’s upcoming drone, the Mini 3 Pro. First, we saw a glimpse of the packaging. Then, a few weeks back, @DealsDrone shared a video of the framework for the Mini 2 successor. Now, the leaker gives us a look at the fully assembled quadcopter. DJI Mini 3 First leak video pic.twitter.com/NgskqONf8w — 航拍世家 打手 (@DealsDrone) April 2, 2022 The video clearly shows 249g markings, meaning that the new model will continue to swerve some of the more restrictive regulations, just like its predecessor. It appears the new camera will…

(Pocket-lint) – There have been leaks aplenty surrounding the DJI Mini 3 and Mini 3 Pro drones. We’ve not only seen packaging but full videos of the framework for the Mini 2’s successors and their specifications. The latest leak gives us an idea of how much the new sub 250g quadcopters will cost though and, well, it’s not looking good for anyone on a budget. According to Twitter user Jasper Ellens – 27 Leaks (@JasperEllens), the DJI Mini 3 and Mini 3 Pro will be announced in late April, followed by deliveries in May. He claimed prices will be on…

If you want to become the best aerobatic pilot possible, you need to master key maneuvers by taking small steps. First, make sure you’re proficient in performing maneuvers like inverted flight, vertical and horizontal rolls, inside and outside loops and stall turns. You can then perform these moves in sequences to create show-stopping routines. In this post, I’ll highlight a precision maneuver called the Figure-M, which incorporates two stall turns with a little twist. Without further hesitation, let’s get started! Before we Begin Before you attempt your first Figure-M, it’s important that you’re able to perform vertical rolls, the stall…

(Pocket-lint) – With drones becoming more popular over the past few years – as the consumer drone market exploded – more and more people took to these easy-to-fly smart quadcopters to film their outdoor exploits. For the first time it enabled pretty much anyone to get stunning aerial footage, because you know longer had to hire a helicopter and camera crew to do it.  But with the rise of these affordable and portable machines came the necessity for regulation that applies to pretty much any drone that isn’t a toy. So what are those rules and regulations? Do you even…
