Around two years ago, drone maker DJI released a tiny stabilized 4K videocam called the Osmo Pocket. Now the company has announced a second generation model called the Pocket 2, with a much-improved feature set.

Many people don't like the thought of delivery drones buzzing up to their door, with their propellers whirling dangerously close. The RDS1 setup was made with that in mind, as it drops packages in free-fall, but doesn't let them hit the ground.

Though DJI is perhaps best known for its drones, the company has also been making smartphone stabilizers since 2015. Now the Osmo Mobile line has been renamed OM, and the latest model features a snazzy magnetic phone attachment system.

DJI is probably best known for its drones, but last year it launched an educational robot platform named after its annual RomoMaster Robotics Competition. Now the S1 has been joined by the EP Core, the first product in DJI's new Education branch.

Active volcanic craters are something that people generally don't want to get very close to – even if they're dedicated volcanologists. With that in mind, German scientists recently had success using a drone to do the job.

DJI has today announced the enterprise-grade, weatherproof and durable Matrice 300 RTK drone and Zenmuse H20 series camera modules for inspections, mapping, surveys and search and rescue missions.

Chinese drone manufacturer DJI has today unveiled its new Mavic Air 2 foldable quadcopter, with a greatly improved camera, a bigger battery, an enormous 10-km (6.2-mi) control range and the capability to detect and warn you about other aircraft.

DJI has announced the latest member of its Mavic family of folding drones. The Mavic Mini folds up to palm-sized proportions, can capture 2.7K video when in flight and is reported to have one of the longest flight times for a drone this size.

Almost three years after releasing the Osmo Mobile smartphone stabilizer, DJI has revealed the third generation rig – and this one can be folded down for transport in a backpack, or even a pocket ... kind of. The Osmo Mobile 3 is also lighter and easier to use. And a little cheaper too.

Those who aren't involved in drone racing will probably be surprised to know that HD vision isn't already the standard in drone racing goggles – but that's set to change with some really nice new integrated gear from DJI, and an immediate counter-attack from Fat Shark for the DIY crowd.

Filmmakers with compact mirrorless cameras may be interested in DJI's new lightweight gimbal, the Ronin SC. Weighing just 2.4 lb (1 kg) it does all the regular gimbal business, plus a couple of interesting features in ActiveTrack and Force Mobile.

The folks at Moment have been busy building lenses and accessories to give mobile cameras a boost. They are now turning this expertise to DJI’s drones, producing a purpose-built anamorphic lens that owners of the aircraft can stick over the camera to give their snaps some extra pizzazz. ​​
