We’ve had this video submitted to us by a videographer who wishes to remain anonymous and I can understand why. Even though he followed all regulations (like height, distance from venue and so one) he still got nuked! The short of the story is that a DJI Phantom Pro 3 got taken down by a balloon (kinda […]

DJI’s new Osmo+ brings 7x zoom to handheld gimbal cameras

DJI have updated their Osmo handheld gimbal camera to provide up to 7x zoom capabilities. Like the recently announced Zenmuse Z3 zoom camera for the Inspire 1, it’s actually a 3.5x optical zoom.

The Voyager 4 drone camera offers 16x optical zoom for up to 1500mm equivalent

After a zoom feature appeared in DJI’s new Zenmuse Z3 drone camera, I knew it wouldn’t be long before we saw more. What I did not expect, however, was a camera that could give the range that this does. The recently announced Walkera Voyager 4 boasts a rather impressive 16x optical superzoom lens. This puts it way […]
