I have read that Polaroid was making a come back post you know, Polaroids. The cycle of traditional tech giants going under and reemerging continues with a new line of products. The Polaroid Cube is a ruggedised pocket camera that takes video and still shots. Is there a market for something that you can take everywhere and anywhere, reasonably unobtrusive and stick to any magnetic surface? Is it worth carrying on top of what your smart phone can do? Should GoPro lose sleep over it?

This follow-up article on our Phantom review of a few weeks ago is focused almost exclusively on demonstrating the fantastic video capabilities of this much improved platform. We have flown the Phantom 2 Vision in extreme gusty weather and it performed impeccably.

Check it out on the videos.

There is excitement in the air and quite a buzz this time before Christmas as thousands of props are stirring and whirring as drones take to the skies...
It will be a lot busier after Christmas when thousands of new drones join the swarm. Many of these cost just a few hundred dollars or much less still. But for people with serious photography or video in mind there are very capable UAVs available today from the likes of DJI and their Phantom range.

Today we're looking at what is probably the best upgrade of the Phantom Vision since we reviewed this model about a year ago.
Let's have a look at what is new in this segment which will be followed up a few weeks later with some video footage to show off its capabilities.

Just off the coast of Orange County, California - where I did my flight training many moons ago -  a fantastic "stampede" of dolphins has been filmed with a drone. And you'll see some very close up footage of a whale and calf...

Filmed by Capt Dave from DolphinSafari.com with a DJI Phantom and GoPro. He lost one Phantom in the process but the end result is truly amazing!

Have look here.

Enjoy!
