DJI has shared a new video (above) showing off the kind of impressive cinematic imagery that it’s possible to obtain with its recently released Flip drone.
“Soar over sweeping desert dunes with the DJI Flip, a foldable drone that turns every flight into cinematic magic,” the company says in a message accompanying the video.
DJI adds: “Weighing under 249g, with a bright f1.7 aperture, dual native ISO, and advanced LIDAR tracking, this compact drone captures breathtaking 4K footage that’s as smooth as the sands below.”
The footage certainly looks breathtaking, though according to DJI, you’ll have to tweak it in post-production to get similarly dramatic results. The quadcopter’s 10-bit D-Log M color mode supports recording “up to one billion colors and helps retain more highlight and shadow details for increased flexibility when editing,” DJI says, adding that even in high-contrast scenarios, like sunrises and sunsets, “it delivers natural color gradations with delicate details for a full-spectrum visual experience.”
Unveiled last week, DJI’s Flip quadcopter could prove popular with vloggers and content creators looking for something compact and reasonably priced — it starts at $439 — to record their adventures, though its relatively simple flight controls mean that folks coming to drones for the first time might also take a close look.
DJI’s latest drone is more advanced than the more affordable Neo, which launched last year, but sits below the Mini 4 Pro in terms of features and capabilities. The Flip has a maximum flight time of up to 31 minutes on a single charge, a control range of up to 8.1 miles (13 kilometers), and can operate at altitudes of up to 9,840 feet (3,000 meters). Importantly, it’s able to stay steady in wind speeds of up to 10.7 meters per second (for comparison, the Neo can handle speeds of up to 8 meters per second), ensuring that those cinematic shots aren’t ruined by distracting wobbles.
Considering that it wasn’t so long ago that you needed a helicopter and a huge budget to get aerial shots as beautiful as this, it really is quite astonishing how drone technology has utterly changed the game when it comes to filming from the sky.
Full-frame cameras tend to be chunky beasts, but Sigma wants to prove that big imaging doesn't need a big body. Enter the Sigma FP2, the successor to its tiny, boxy fp mirrorless camera. It keeps the same modular design but packs in some serious upgrades, including a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor, improved autofocus, 6K video recording, and 70GB of built-in storage. Sigma calls it the world's smallest full-frame camera, and while it might be tiny, the same cannot be said for its price tag.

A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
We are nearing Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, which officially run October 6 and 7. But there is no need to wait until the sale begins to start looking. Early offers are already live, and camera gear is one category where I found enough worthwhile discounts to put together a proper creator-focused list.
I’ve deliberately gone wider than interchangeable-lens cameras here. There are pocket and action cameras, a 360 camera, an instant camera, two wireless microphone systems, and a pair of webcams covering very different budgets. Prices were checked on October 2, and as always with Amazon, they can move quickly.
