Turn Your Dropcam or Nest Cam Into A Spy Camera
You are already using and enjoying your Dropcam Pro or Nest Cam but now have the need for a spy camera. Say you have someone watching your house and you aren’t quite sure you trust them. Use a spy camera to make sure things are on the up and up while you are away. Assuming […]
Netgear Arlo Q Cloud Video Recording
In the past I have said some nice things about the VueZone and Arlo systems. As much as I love the options you get from the battery powered wireless cameras that store video in the cloud, there are some inherent shortcomings. So, I have mostly moved over to the Dropcam Pro (Nest Cam) cameras but ever […]
The CyPhy PARC Hexacopter Can Stay In The Air Forever
Ok…Ok… The CyPhy PARC Drone (I hate the lose use of that term) can’t really stay in the air forever. Almost, though. The PARC hexacopter is what is known as a Persistent Aerial Reconnaissance and Communications (PARC) drone. That basically means that it can stay in the air recording video day and night without the […]
DJI Osmo
DJI is known for their quadcopters no doubt. They, in my opinion, are the most reliable quads on the market today. Now they are applying their proven 3-axis stabilization to a handheld gimbal, the DJI Osmo ($649) with a 4k camera along for the ride. The camera shoots 4K video and up to 120fps at […]
The Light L16 Camera Changes Everything
The saying goes… the best camera is the one you have with you. It is true. And while I wish I could/would carry my DSLR camera with me at all times it just isn’t practical. So, a full 95-percent of my photos are shot with my Apple iPhone. Well things are about to change in […]
Aeon GoPro Gimbal Stabilizer
The Aeon GoPro Gimbal Stabilizer (currently $320 on IndieGoGo) isn’t the first GoPro gimbal stabilizer on the market. There are plenty already in the market like the BeStable SteadyGim3 ($319), Feiyu G3 ($220), Feiyu G4 ($250), and the SCG Glide Gear Scopio ($229). So why a fundraiser campaign for another 3-axis GoPro? Well it looks pretty cool, […]
Portable 4K Quadcopter The Vantage Robotics Snap
The Snap is another quadcopter entering the already crowded space. So, what makes the Vantage Robotics Snap any different, or better, than the rest? Well the main claim to fame for the Snap Quadcopter ($900) is that it folds up and is portable. But that isn’t all. The Snap has a gimbal stabilized 4k camera, […]
Fishing Has Evolved. Quadcopter For Placing Bait And Loaded With Sensors.
Fishing is a 40,000 year old pastime that continues to evolve with technology. We now have super realistic fishing lures, sonar fish-finders, underwater cameras, graphite fishing rods, scented bait, etc… Poor fish. Apparently all of this high tech fishing gadgetry wasn’t enough because now there is a fishing drone quadcopter. The AguaDrone is a waterproof […]
First Legal Drone Delivery Tested In The US
I have seen enough of the negative press surrounding drones quadcopters (in this case a hexacopter judging from the shadow) and think that most of it is propaganda. I believe our government doesn’t like this tech in the hands of the people who vote them into office and pay their wage. Sooo, on to the […]
GoPro Hero 4 Session Camera
The lightest and smallest GoPro camera (as of today) is the new GoPro Hero 4 Session. There is no screen for information or video viewing. You can always use your smartphone with WiFi connection for more controls and video viewing. The buttons are even simpler now with one-button control for starting recording. The old style […]
