The mining industry may be thousands of feet below ground, but right now, it’s having a sky-high moment. DJI Enterprise has released a new white paper designed to help mining companies take a major leap forward: transitioning from manual drone flights to a fully automated BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line Of Sight) drone program powered by the DJI Dock.

If you’ve been eyeing Insta360’s Antigravity A1 drone with bated breath, now’s the time to set a reminder. Antigravity has dropped a teaser across its social channels, stamping a firm launch date on its debut drone: December 4, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. EST. That means the A1 is arriving nearly two months earlier than the previously expected January 2026 release.

DJI just beat the clock. With a potential US ban looming over its entire drone lineup, the company has managed to slip one more aircraft through the door. The Avata 360, DJI’s first drone that can shoot true 360° spherical video while flying like an FPV beast, has completed the testing and certification process with the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The filing, covering two model numbers, lands just in time and signals DJI’s push to release at least one more major product before any import restrictions take effect.

The latest compact “selfie-drone” from DJI, Neo 2, has just received a new firmware refresh, delivering a key feature that brings it closer to a true FPV (first-person view) experience. With the firmware version 01.00.0400, along with companion updates for DJI controllers and goggles, Neo 2 now supports Manual mode when used with DJI Goggles N3 or Goggles 3 and DJI FPV Remote Controller 3. Basically, you can now fly Neo 2 manually in immersive FPV style.

DJI and SkyPixel are back with one of the most anticipated creative competitions of the year, and this one comes with stakes big enough to make any photographer or filmmaker sit up straight. The 11th Annual SkyPixel Photo & Video Contest is officially live, inviting creators worldwide to “Frame the World” and maybe walk away with a share of nearly $200,000 in prizes. If you’ve ever looked at your drone footage or handheld clips and thought, Hey, this is actually good, this competition is your moment.

If you thought the DJI Osmo Nano was already a ninja-tiny, let’s-go-anywhere camera, wait till you meet its latest firmware update. Version 01.01.16.50 for the camera, compatible with Mimo app v2.6.0 or higher, brings a fresh batch of improvements that make this little guy even more useful.

Choosing between two 360 cameras shouldn’t feel like a technical exam; it should feel like choosing a travel buddy. Because that’s really what these cameras become: the little sidekick that documents your hikes, road trips, late-night noodle runs, or your next “I can’t believe I actually did that” adventure. And Insta360’s newest 360 cameras, the X4 Air and X5, couldn’t be more different in personality.

One is feather-light and friendly, perfect for anyone who wants high-quality 360 shots without lugging around a brick. The other is a beefier, more serious machine built to satisfy creators who nitpick shadows and dynamic range. Let’s break it down so you can figure out which one matches your vibe.

Zipline just scored a massive win: a $150 million US State Department investment to help African nations scale the world’s largest medical drone network, tripling access to lifesaving deliveries of blood and medicine.

If you’ve been thinking about buying a DJI Mini 4 Pro but hesitating because of the price, the stock situation, or the ever-shifting US restrictions around DJI drones… this early Black Friday deal might be the plot twist nobody saw coming. The SkyRover X1 Fly More Combo is now $629 (30% off its usual $898), and the craziest part isn’t even the price. It’s that this drone is — according to reviewers, testers, and a very vocal drone community — basically a DJI Mini 4 Pro wearing a different outfit.

The 360 camera world is getting cutthroat, and GoPro has fired back in spectacular fashion. A massive update for the MAX2 has dropped, loaded with smarter presets, polished image tuning, and pro-level tools living inside GoPro Labs. It’s an unmistakable move as Insta360 and DJI tighten their grip on immersive video, GoPro is making it clear the MAX2 is still very much in the fight, and now armed with sharper teeth.

DJI just posted one of its most urgent public messages yet, and if you’ve struggled to find certain DJI drones on US shelves lately, you’ll understand why. A little-known deadline in Congress is now only weeks away, and it could cut Americans off from all future DJI product launches unless Washington acts.

If you’ve been even thinking about buying a DJI drone, stop scrolling and pay attention because this might be the last truly great moment to stock up before the US market gets weird. DJI has rolled out massive Black Friday deals on five different drones, and two of the most eye-popping numbers are hard to ignore: a DJI Neo for just $159 and a $180 price drop on an Avata 2 kit.

If a 20% price drop on a top-tier DJI drone caused a stir during Amazon Prime Day, consider this the encore no one expected: the $159 DJI Neo deal is back for Black Friday. And given how unpredictable DJI availability in the US has become, this early discount feels less like holiday hype and more like a genuine last-chance window.

The holiday shopping season is here, and DJI isn’t just dipping a toe in the pool; they’re diving headfirst with a tidal wave of deals. Whether you’re a budding content creator, a drone enthusiast, or a traveler who wants to catch the world from a fresh angle, this is your moment. The timing’s perfect, the discounts are deep, and the gear? Ultra-tempting. Let’s jump into the lineup.

DJI has officially taken the wraps off its next-gen action camera, the Osmo Action 6, marking a major global release only a week after its debut in China. But there’s a twist for US buyers: DJI says the Action 6 will not be sold through official US channels at launch, and there’s no estimated timeline for when that might change. That hasn’t stopped third-party resellers from scheduling their shipments, though!

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to jump into drones, this might be it: the DJI Flip is now down to just $349 as part of an early Black Friday special, with deeper cuts on the upgraded RC 2 bundles as well. And considering how hard this tiny, ultra-safe drone has been trending, these early discounts are kind of a gift.

If you’ve been following the rocky journey of drone delivery in the US — delays, tiny pilot zones, grounded test fleets, and that constant “coming soon” promise from big tech — you might wonder whether anyone is actually nailing the hard stuff. Turns out, someone is.

DJI is officially closing the chapter on its old geofencing playbook — not just in the United States or Europe, but everywhere. The drone giant announced today that its updated GEO airspace system is expanding to all remaining international markets, marking the company’s most dramatic shift in airspace guidance in more than a decade.

DJI has released the Osmo Action 6 in China. DJI’s new flagship action camera comes with a long list of firsts and enough imaging upgrades to make even seasoned GoPro users raise an eyebrow. But here’s what US creators will really want to hear: DJI is openly teasing the product on its US website. That alone is a noticeable shift from the company’s recent pattern of launching new gear everywhere except the United States.

DJI’s latest mini drone, Neo 2, has just launched globally, and it’s already stealing attention for what it can do without a remote. Weighing only 151 grams, the new entrant in the Neo drone lineup is light enough to toss into a backpack but smart enough to take off from your palm, follow you using gestures or voice commands, and then land back on your hand when you’re done. It’s the ultimate pocket-sized flying camera built for travelers, families, and first-time drone users who want cinematic footage without fumbling with joysticks.

While DJI braces for a potential US ban, a new player has quietly taken flight, and it’s already scooping up global innovation awards months before launch. The drone in question isn’t from Shenzhen’s reigning giant but from Antigravity, a newcomer incubated by Insta360 that’s now turning heads across the tech world.
