>> Mavic Mini: DJI’s Smallest And
Most Lightweight Drone
DJI, a market leader in producing drones, recently introduced the new
Mavic Mini, which is the company’s smallest and most lightweight
drone, weighing just 249 grams or a little over half a pound.
Because it’s a drone targeted for consumers, its lightweight form
factor makes it much more likely to be a safe drone, according to
experts, says DJI.
The new model, which costs $399, comes with a variety of photography
and video features, including:- The ability to shoot video at 2.7K video at 30 frames per second
or 1080p at 60 fps, and photograph 12-megapixel photographs
using a 1/2.3-inch image sensor. - A three-axis motorized gimbal, for supporting and stabilizing the
camera, for smooth and cinematic video footage. - A new DJI Fly mobile app
- Compatibility with new accessories, including a 360° propeller
guard, a charging base, a propeller holder and a two-way
charging hub.

DJI’s new Mavic Mini compact drone<< ARRI's New Versatile Cinema Lighting System
In late fall this past year, ARRI gave a live-streaming online presentation,
introducing a number of new products as part of a powerful new “lighting
platform.” The main product highlighted in the presentation was Orbiter, which
ARRI calls “a new LED...ultra-bright, tunable and directional LED fixture.”

luminaire ever produced for image capture and color fidelity. All systems in
Orbiter are completely new and have been designed with versatility in mind.”
During the livestream event, ARRI demonstrated Orbiter’s new six-color light
engine, which it said delivers “a wide-color gamut and outstanding color rendition
across all color temperatures along with industry-leading, smooth dimming
from 100 to 0%.” The Orbiter also has changeable optics, which ARRI says “can
transform into many different types of lampheads including projection (profile),
open face and soft light.” Other features include a fast processor, ample memory,
expanded connectivity, a built-in array of sensors and weatherproof housing.
Additional aspects of the new lighting platform include:- ARRI Spectra: a six-color, wide gamut light engine.
