The folks at 3D Robotics are taking a page from Apples marketing playbook with an early teaser video for their newest drone.

Inexpensive GoPro Alternative For $66 Shipped?
I am sure that the folks at GoPro aren’t super happy about the SJ4000 Waterproof Action Camera ($66). The camera, mounts, and case look awfully familiar if you know what I mean. I am not going to go into that here. The SJ400 sports camera has some pretty good specs, comes loaded with brackets, and […]

Panasonic is stepping into the streaming security camera market with the Nubo. Time will tell if the implementation is enough to steal customers from the likes of Oco and Dropcam. But from the looks of the spec sheet this camera has quite a bit going on. Read on for details of the Panasonic Nubo.
SenseFly eXom Drone
The folks at SenseFly (remember the SenseFly eBee?) are getting closer to releasing their latest quadcopter drone, the eXom. The main difference between the SenseFly eXom and say the DJI Inspire 1 or the Yuneec Q500 is the addition of more sensors that are aware of the surroundings.

Walkera Voyager 3 FPV Quadcopter
The space that was pretty much dominated by DJI is starting to get crowded. More FPV (first person view) multi-rotor helicopters are hitting the market.
