For nearly 80 years, avalanche safety crews in Canada have battled unstable snow with World War II artillery, helicopter drops, and risky ground missions. Now, a Canadian drone company says it has a safer, faster, and more precise way to get the job done — and the government just gave it the green light.

When Insta360 first dropped the word “Antigravity” last month, it sparked a wave of speculation. Now, we finally have a date for when the mystery will lift: August 14, 9 a.m. EDT. That’s when Insta360 will pull back the curtain on its first-ever drone and debut Antigravity, a new independent brand focused on 360-degree aerial storytelling.

When DJI unveiled the O4 Air Unit earlier this year, the FPV (first-person view) drone community braced for a leap: 4K/60fps filming, crisp 1080p live feed, and a size-light enough to sit on tree branches… or your fingertip. BETAFPV answered the call with the Pavo Femto, a 75 mm, brushless 2S whoop that feels almost magical in how well it balances size with capability.

A British vacationer is facing a jaw-dropping €200,000 (approx. $244,000) fine after flying a drone illegally during a crowded religious festival in Spain’s Canary Islands. Here’s a cautionary tale for drone pilots across the globe, especially those planning to take their birds overseas…

In a landmark move that could reshape the skies, the US Department of Transportation, under Secretary Sean P. Duffy, has proposed a sweeping new rule that would finally normalize Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations — a long-awaited milestone for the commercial drone industry.

DJI has its eyes off the skies, and on your floors. Best known for revolutionizing aerial photography and drone technology, the Chinese tech powerhouse is now aiming to redefine home cleaning with its latest creation: Romo, a robot vacuum cleaner powered by drone-level perception, AI path planning, and striking design.

HoverAir is now offering more details of its next big thing, Aqua, a 100% waterproof, self-flying camera drone designed to take off and land directly on water.

If you thought action cameras were all function and no flair, think again. Insta360 has just dropped a head-turning version of its flagship 360-degree camera: the X5 Satin White Limited Edition.

DJI’s brand-new Osmo 360 camera has already received its first firmware update, and it’s a big one. If you’ve just unboxed the camera, chances are the first thing you’ll need to do is install firmware version v01.01.06.20 to unlock the device’s full potential.

The skies are getting crowded — and wetter. Drone maker HoverAir has just teased its latest offering, Aqua, and it is turning heads with one standout feature: it floats. Yes, really. This waterproof drone is not only compact and clever, but it might just be the shot across the bow that DJI didn’t see coming.

DJI’s Mimo app just got a big upgrade, and it’s good news for content creators and fitness fanatics alike. The latest version, 2.3.1, officially adds support for DJI’s new Osmo 360 camera, while also delivering a slew of video editing enhancements and dashboard upgrades.

In a major leap for drone logistics, EHang has successfully flown its VT20 drone on an intercity cargo route between Guangzhou and Zhuhai — two key cities in southern China’s bustling Greater Bay Area.

In what feels like a last call for DJI fans, Amazon Prime members can snag the DJI Mini 4K drone for just $249, down from the usual $299 MSRP. This exclusive deal surfaces at a time when DJI drones are rapidly vanishing from the US market, making this bargain feel downright urgent.

DJI has dropped a new firmware update for two of its latest drone remote controllers, the DJI RC Pro 2 and DJI RC 2, bringing with it a small but meaningful upgrade: a new screen lock feature that adds a layer of password protection.

A new DJI drone has surfaced on the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website: Neo 2. In the world of US technology regulation, an FCC listing is the first major hurdle for any wireless-enabled product. It signifies that the device’s radio components have passed rigorous testing, ensuring compliance with US spectrum regulations — an essential step before any legal sale. Yet, while the FCC’s greenlight is a promising sign, it doesn’t guarantee that this new DJI drone will be available to American consumers without further complications.
