Drones have become more common these days especially in the consumer market. All sorts and sizes of flying robots, controlled by phones or dedicated controllers can be found in any toy store and hobby store. The use of drones extends to business and even military which has naturally raised red flags when it comes to privacy. But while most groups are calling for stricter drone regulations, DJI is offering an alternative that would allow anyone with a smartphone to identify registered drones flying as far as 1 kilometer away.

The previously leaked DJI Mavic Mini has been officially announced. The new folding drone is ultra-light and highly portable, offering what DJI says is 'professional-quality' features in a form factor that may, in some areas, be exempted from the regulations that impact its larger siblings.

DJI is perhaps best known in the consumer drone market but it has been relatively silent of late, at least as far as UAVs were concerned. Most of its recent products focused on its OSMO gimbal system and a drone that rolled but did not fly. It seems that is ready to reclaim the skies once again this month but in a smaller way, literally. The Mini version of DJI's Mavic may due for a debut in a few days but not before the drone is leaked in a few product photos.

DJI has a new way to get a drone's eye view, with the DJI Digital First Person Viewing (FPV) Transmission System pairing live-streaming video with a set of digital goggles. Targeting the growing field of drone racing, along with videographers wanting a higher framerate from their footage, the system promises digital quality with latency to compete with traditional analog streaming systems.

Today DJI introduced a new $440 gimbal that allows mirrorless camera users to take command of stabilization in videos of all sorts. This machine is simple-to-use, relatively small, and right on the high end of all the pro points. DJI suggests on their site that "due to limited new product availability," they'll only sell two units to each prospective customer.

DJI is perhaps best known for its drones but, at its core, it is a robotics company. It has dabbled in every aspect related to robotics, from computer vision to AI to mechanical engineering. While those have been mostly applied to hobbyist and professional unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs (a.k.a. drones), it has yet to tap one budding market in the robotics industry: education. That changes today with the introduction of the RoboMaster S1, the company's first robot designed for entertainment and education.

DJI has revealed its first action camera, the DJI Osmo Action, wading further into GoPro territory and threatening to upstage its rival with dual color screens and more.

Once upon a time, GoPro was the household name in the young action camera market. While it's still the most well-known brand, a lot of upstarts have tried to claim their small piece of that pie, especially with the giant seemingly losing its footing. One of those new challengers is, strangely enough, drone king DJI. Its rumored DJI OSMO Action camera is expected to arrive in a few days and this info dump could set a favorable tone for its debut.

The camera is expected to be based on the company's existing OSMO Pocket super-wide handheld camera, and one image has leaked showing what the model may look like. DJI has not confirmed the camera's existence, however.

Earlier this year, Ryze Tech debuted a new drone that was centered around being small in size and affordable in price. Though the $99 price Tello was targeting certainly put it in the budget drone range, it was backed by some big names. Specifically, the Tello drone was made using technology from both Intel and DJI. Today, Tello announced something of a follow up to that first drone, and it's got another big company in its corner for this release: Marvel.
