There are five types of shots that you really need to capture with a drone. 1. Establishing Shots The first kind of shot I always capture with a drone is establishing shots. These are probably the most often thought of when using a drone, but these are your big, wide establishing shots that showcase the entire area that your video is going to be taking place in, or at least that the next scene is going to take place in. I guarantee that every TV show I’ve ever shot for, every big brand I’ve ever shot for, this is the go-to, even though it might seem to be the most boring. It is the go-to sh ..read more

By Ian McKinney | Cronkite News WASHINGTON — Cartels are sending as many as 1,000 unmanned drones across the border every month, sometimes smuggling drugs but more often probing the border for vulnerabilities, a Pentagon official told a Senate committee this month. U.S. Air Force Gen. Gregory Guillot, who assumed command of NORAD and U.S. Northern Command in February, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that countering unmanned aircraft systems had “dominated … the first month” of his tenure. Senators started asking about drone flights around military bases, but the discussion then turn ..read more

I received these Koko 2207 motors and a SKYSTARS F722HD flight stack two years ago, but somehow I forgot to review them. The motors have 16x16mm and can be installed on most 5-5.5″ FPV frames, regardless of design and type. The Skystars Koko 2207 motors have four KV options (1750KV, 1950KV, 2550KV, and 2750KV) and are suitable for racing and freestyle FPV drones. The 1750KV and 1950KV are 4S compatible, and the 2550KV and 2750KV for 6S batteries. The five-inch racing world seems to have mostly settled on 2207 and 2306 as the ideal motor size. They produce enough power for great acceleration ..read more

A drone captured a heart-stopping moment when two swimmers inadvertently collided with a massive venomous stingray off Horseshoe Bay Beach in Bermagui, New South Wales, Australia, on Saturday, March 23.

The Encounter The drone footage shows a black stingray, approximately the size of a dining room table, gliding beneath the unsuspecting swimmers. As the swimmers attempted to catch a wave, the stingray approached them, resulting in a collision that sent foam explodin ..read more

The Chasing X brings a new form factor to mini ROVs, looking a bit like a submersible quadcopter. It’s designed mainly for the underwater inspection of things like ship hulls, bridge pilings and aquaculture operations, although it can also grab stuff if need be. The X (no relation to the social media platform!) is made by Chinese company Chasing Innovation. Chasing’s existing M2 line of compact ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) are aimed chiefly at industrial/scientific use, and they have the “bristling with features” look to go along with that purpose. The company’s more consumer-oriented G ..read more

Iran is selling a new drone on the international market that it’s calling “Gaza.” Iran unveiled the drone at an arms expo in Doha earlier this month ..read more
