Let’s be honest, 4K resolution hasn’t quite broken into the mainstream yet. But it’s getting closer, and you can bet companies like DJI are prepping the best methods for capturing said footage while we wait for the high-res cams to take hold. The Inspire 1 camera mount is a prime example, one designed to make your job as ace videographer a whole lot easier. After all, Cloverfield is proof shaky-cam isn’t for everyone.
Showcased alongside DJI’s slew of commercial drones at CES 2015, the intuitive mounting lets you film in two distinct modes. The first fixes the equipped camera’s direction, so it’s always pointed at your subject regardless of how you move. The second relies on a motorized gimbal that pivots to allow for smooth panning and intelligent tilting based on your movements. The latter mode is directly culled from technology built into one of DJI’s most recent quadcopters, but the Inspire 1 is crafted more for handheld use than aerial shots.
The simple device also offers more than a nifty mounting mechanism. The streamlined handle features buttons for controlling the shutter and recording playback, along with a built-in switch for toggling between photo and video mode anytime during the rechargeable battery’s 70-minute duration. It houses an integrated microphone on the side as well, in addition to a basic mount for attaching your mobile device and a jack for using a more capable, external mic on the go.
The Inspire 1 will arrive some time in 2015 at a price not yet announced.
Fujifilm just gave its most popular instant camera a serious digital upgrade. The Instax Mini Evo 2 now comes with a touchscreen, larger sensor, and a video feature that captures four seconds before each photo. It is set to arrive by the end of November for $289.95.

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.
Sigma FP2 brings faster shooting and 6K video
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.
