Compact drones continue to dominate the consumer market, and Potensic is using IFA 2026 to show why its latest model deserves a spot on buyers’ shortlists. The drone maker has returned to the annual Berlin technology show for the third consecutive year, putting the spotlight squarely on its Atom 3 camera drone, and its long list of features aimed at travelers, outdoor adventurers, and first-time aerial creators.

When DJI launches new cameras, most of the attention naturally goes to the hardware. But anyone who regularly shoots with an Osmo Pocket, Osmo Mobile, or the company’s growing lineup of handheld cameras knows that the experience doesn’t end once recording stops. That’s where the DJI Mimo app comes in.

You rarely see a product become more tempting just as the odds of buying it cheaply start shrinking. But that’s exactly what’s happening with the DJI Neo “follow-me” drone.

How many times have you looked back at a vacation video and wished you’d captured just a little more? With a 360 camera, you don’t have to worry about what’s in the frame. You can choose the perfect angle later. That’s exactly why GoPro’s MAX2 has become one of the hottest cameras of the year, and now it’s an even easier recommendation thanks to a major new firmware update and a limited-time 40% discount that brings the price down to just $299.

DJI is back with another 360 action camera to keep the pressure on its competitors. The camera sees an overall spec boost, a new square sensor, new AI tools for better low light performance, and the addition of D-Log.

Back in 2019, DJI entered the action camera market with something to prove. The original Osmo Action wasn’t just another GoPro alternative; it was the first mainstream action camera with a front-facing color display, making it dramatically easier for vloggers and creators to frame themselves without guessing. Combined with RockSteady electronic stabilization, 4K/60fps recording, and a rugged waterproof design, it quickly became one of DJI’s most memorable consumer products. Now, that pioneering camera is officially reaching the end of its journey.

Buying your first drone can be surprisingly intimidating. You start browsing online, only to be bombarded with terms like flight modes, obstacle sensing, tracking algorithms, return-to-home, and camera sensors. Suddenly, what should have been an exciting purchase starts feeling like something you’ll need a weekend course to figure out. That’s exactly the problem newer drone makers are trying to solve.

If you’ve ever filmed an incredible drone shot only to crop away half of it for Instagram Reels, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts, you’re not alone. Traditional drone cameras capture wide landscape footage. That’s perfect for YouTube and TVs, but not so much for today’s vertical-first social platforms. Cropping a horizontal video into a 9:16 format often means sacrificing image quality or cutting out parts of your scene. The good news? If you own a relatively recent DJI drone, you may not need to crop at all.

If you’ve been looking for an excuse to take your FPV flying skills to the next level, DJI just gave creators a pretty compelling reason. The company has launched its new #AllForPassion Challenge, inviting Avata 360 users to capture their favorite sports and adventure moments for a chance to win up to $10,000.

DJI made pocket gimbals popular. HoverAir wants to make them fly. With the official debut of HoverAir Versa, the company has combined a professional handheld camera with the autonomous flying technology behind its popular X1 series, creating a hybrid device that can capture everything from stabilized walking shots to AI-powered aerial videos.

Getting an online order delivered in under an hour already feels convenient. Having it arrive by drone in around 30 minutes might soon become routine for millions more Americans. Amazon has unveiled ambitious expansion plans for its Prime Air drone delivery service, saying it expects to reach nearly 500 cities and towns across the United States by the end of 2026. That’s roughly six times larger than its current footprint and marks one of the biggest milestones yet in the company’s push to make drone deliveries part of everyday shopping.

DJI’s Mavic 4 Pro is one of the few consumer drones that can shoot stunning 6K HDR video, switch between three cameras mid-flight, and even rotate its camera a full 360 degrees. Now, DJI is making that flagship experience a little smoother with a fresh firmware update for the drone, DJI RC Pro 2, DJI RC 2, and the DJI Fly app.

If your travel bag already feels overloaded with an action camera, a gimbal, spare batteries, and accessories, Insta360 thinks it has the solution. The company has unveiled its new flagship Insta360 X6, a camera designed to do the job of three devices at once. It combines an 8K 360 camera, a traditional action camera, and an AI-powered tracking camera into a single pocket-sized package, making it one of the biggest upgrades the X series has seen in years.

The DJI Mini 5 Pro isn’t a military drone. And the Air 3S certainly isn’t something most people would associate with the battlefield. Yet these, and several other popular DJI drone models, could potentially get caught in the Federal Communications Commission’s latest drone crackdown.

DJI has added another microphone to its increasingly crowded audio lineup, and this one brings a feature many creators have been asking for: built-in recording. The new DJI Mic Mini 2S comes with 32-bit float internal recording, up to 28 hours of onboard audio storage, upgraded AI noise canceling, and support for up to four transmitters. But for US customers, there is a familiar problem. DJI has not announced official availability or US pricing for the new microphone.

DJI is continuing to polish the software experience behind its growing handheld camera and gimbal lineup. The company has released DJI Mimo v2.11.2, introducing a handful of quality-of-life improvements that should make everyday shooting and editing noticeably smoother for creators.

For years, creators have had to choose between carrying a pocket camera with a gimbal or packing a separate drone for aerial shots. Follow-me drone specialist HoverAir thinks they shouldn’t have to. Its newly unveiled Versa is designed to do both, transforming from a handheld, pocket-sized camera into a self-flying AI camera with snap-on propeller modules.

DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4P is finally rolling out globally after debuting in China and other Asian markets, but the camera’s biggest talking point may not be its dual-lens setup or cinema-grade image quality. Instead, it’s a tiny new wireless accessory called FrameTap that could make filming yourself dramatically easier.

Your summer vacation probably has room for another pair of shoes. A bulky drone? Maybe not. DJI Flip is one of the few drones designed to slip into an everyday bag, launch from your palm, and even film you without needing someone else behind the controls. And right now, it’s also considerably cheaper than usual.

After teasing the Osmo Pocket 4P at the Cannes Film Festival and quietly rolling it out across several Asian markets, DJI has finally announced a global launch date for its new dual-lens pocket gimbal camera. The company says the worldwide launch will take place on July 30 at 12 p.m. GMT.

DJI is keeping the momentum going for its newest pocket-sized cameras. Just days after introducing the Osmo Pocket 4P in China and rolling it out to additional Asian markets including Japan, Indonesia, and Vietnam, the company has released a fresh update for the DJI Mimo app — the companion app that’s essential for activating, managing, and editing footage from the Pocket camera lineup.

Just weeks after delivering a feature-packed firmware update for the Osmo Pocket 4, DJI is back with another software release. This latest update, firmware version 01.02.07.06, is much smaller in scope, focusing solely on fixing “some known issues.” But while there are no headline-grabbing additions this time around, it’s still worth installing if you own DJI’s latest pocket-sized camera.

Texas has become one of the biggest proving grounds for drone delivery in America, and it’s about to add another high-profile name to the list. Food technology company Wonder has announced a partnership with Zipline that will bring on-demand drone meal deliveries to Texas beginning in January 2027.

93 minutes of flight time sounds like a typo. For less than $300, you’d expect to be choosing between a decent drone and enough batteries to actually enjoy flying it. Not this time.
