You’ve never had a bird’s eye view quite like this.
On Tuesday, Chinese drone manufacturer DJI unveiled two new drones that promise to set a new standard for aerial imaging. Meet the Inspire 2, branded as the “best ready-to-fly platform for high-end film and video creators,” and the Phantom 4 Pro, which promises to be “the smartest and most creative flying camera of its size.” So no matter where your adventures take you, these drones are ready to help you remember them forever.
“Professional filmmakers and photographers always push to create images that have never been seen before, and DJI never stops trying to give them the tools to achieve their vision,” said DJI CEO and Founder Frank Wang. “Our newest flight platforms and stabilized aerial cameras are smarter, faster and more powerful than ever before.”
Take, for instance, the Inspire 2, which boasts an impressive top speed of 67 mph, and is capable of going from 0 to 50 in just 4 seconds. The drone features a forward-facing camera for the benefit of the pilot, whereas a separate Zenmuse camera on the drone’s main gimbal will snap the actual photos. And thanks to the new image processing system, the CineCore 2.0, large image files can be processed faster than ever.
The Inspire 2 is capable of capturing 5.2K video at 4.2Gbps for Adobe Cinema, and even if you’re capturing video late into the night, rest assured that the drone will have the energy to keep up with you. After all, its dual-battery system ensures a backup method should one battery fail mid-flight.
As for the Phantom 4 Pro, this drone promises professional imaging, even if you’re an amateur. With a 1-inch 20-megapixel sensor and almost 12 stops of dynamic range, the camera on the Phantom 4 can help you capture “levels of detail and low-light performance unprecedented in a flying camera of this size.” Thanks to the drone’s FlightAutonomy feature, the Phantom 4 Pro can avoid obstacles even in the prickliest of environments, and can help the drone avoid landing in water or on uneven ground.
This drone also features ActiveTrack, which “recognizes common subjects such as people and bikes, then follows them from any angle while maintaining camera focus.”
The Inspire 2 will retail in the U.S. for $2,999, whereas the Phantom 4 Pro will set you back $1,499. For more information, visit www.dji.com.

Talk to AI every day? New research says it might signal depression
This finding comes from a national survey of nearly 21,000 U.S. adults conducted in 2025, where participants detailed how often they interacted with generative AI tools and completed standard mental health questionnaires. Within that group, about 10% said they used AI daily, and 5% said they engaged with chatbots multiple times throughout the day. Those daily users showed higher rates of reported depressive symptoms and other negative emotional effects, such as anxiety and irritability.
You might actually be able to buy a Tesla robot in 2027
The comments follow a series of years-long development milestones. Optimus, which was originally unveiled as the Tesla Bot in 2021, has undergone multiple prototype iterations and has already been pressed into service handling simple tasks in Tesla factories. According to Musk, those internal deployments will expand in complexity later this year, helping prepare the robotics platform for broader use.
Blue Origin joins the satellite internet race with its 6 Tbps TeraWave network
According to the official announcement, Blue Origin plans to launch 5,280 low-Earth orbit satellites and 128 medium-Earth orbit satellites for the service, with the first ones set to deploy in late 2027. The low-Earth satellites will rely on RF connectivity and offer a max data transfer speed of 144 Gbps, while the medium-Earth satellites will use optical links to reach the publicized 6 Tbps speed. In comparison, SpaceX's Starlink maxes out at 400 Mbps at the moment, with future upgrades aiming for 1 Gbps.
