YouTuber posts complete DJI Mini 3 Pro unboxing and first flight videos days before official announcement

by 6 Comments

I think somebody’s probably going to get into trouble over this for breaking an embargo, but a YouTuber by the name of DM Productions has posted a complete unboxing video of the DJI Mini 3 Pro as well as a first flight and first impressions of the drone in use. The DJI Mini 3 Pro has been rumoured for quite a while with DJI finally posting a cryptic teaser on their website on Thursday.

The official announcement is expected on Tuesday, May 10th but it looks like somebody jumped the gun a little early so that they could get all of the YouTube traffic before all of the other websites and YouTubers who are sticking to the embargoes and NDAs they agreed to. I expect they’re all going to be a little pissed off right now.

Autel Evo Nano drone – First look and sample flight footage

by Leave a Comment

The Autel Evo Nano is one of several new recently announced drones from Autel which also includes the Evo Nano+, the Evo Lite and the Evo Lite+. We’ve recently received a pre-production Autel Evo Nano here at DIYP, so here’s what’s included in the Autel Evo Nano Premium Bundle kit and some of our early thoughts on flying the drone along with some sample footage so you can see what kind of quality you can expect.

The TL;DR version, though, is that this seems to be a pretty awesome little drone. Falling under 250g, it escapes many of the larger drone regulations around the world. It flies great and offers some impressive wind resistance performance. Once the firmware is complete with all of the promised features, this one’ll seriously give DJI a run for its money.

DJI’s hotly-anticipated FPV drone has been leaked (again). And we’re not just talking about a photo or two this time, but an entire unboxing video, courtesy of SpiderMonkey FPV who mirrored the original video after it was taken down. The packaging in the video is the full FPV combo kit which includes the drone itself, controller and the new DJI V2 goggles.

Obviously, the drone still hasn’t been released yet and the “NOT FOR SALE” and “DISPLAY DEMO” stickers indicate that this is a pre-production or display model in preparation for the expected official launch next month. The unboxing, though, shows everything so far. SpiderMonkey FPV also posted a separate video containing some FPV drone footage recorded by the goggles.

These Creatives Bought A Sony FS7 And Made The Most Clever Unboxing Video We’ve Ever Seen

 

Okay, I love getting new gear in the mail just as much as the next guy, but I’ve always been a little confused by unboxing videos. I’m not really sure why watching a stranger open a piece of mail is entertaining. Until now. When the team from over at 12FPS, a creative agency based in California, purchased a new Sony FS7 camera, they put their talent to work to create this three minute long “unboxing” video that is sure to bring a smile to your face. (Even if it isn’t you who is getting to open up the $8,000 video camera capable of capturing 4k at 60fps on it’s Super 35mm sensor.)

Now, to be fair, the video is more of a test footage clip than a true unboxing, but when an entire team of creatives get together to make an unboxing video, you almost have to expect a departure from the norm. [Read More…]
