A Quebec woman is looking to press charges after a DJI Phantom 3 drone lost power and struck her on the top of the head.
Earlier this month, 38-year-old Stéphanie Creignou was sent to the hospital and suffered from a cervical sprain after the 2.6-pound drone fell from the sky and struck her while participating in a 5K run’s pre-race festivities.
VTOL-X Drones, which captured the above footage of the incident, told VAT News that Rosaire Turcotte was operating the drone that fell from the sky.
Despite owning a drone for over a year, Turcotte admitted to not owning a drone operator’s license, according to Flavio Martincowski of VTOL-X Drones, who questioned Turcotte when he noticed him flying dangerously close to the crowd of runners about to participate in the “Fun Run.”
As for how the incident occured, Turcotte told VAT News, “Everything was fine. And then suddenly, the drone is gone. I do not know what happened. I have zero explanation.”
The incident is currently being investigated by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, in what is believed to be the first time an injury has been caused by a drone crash. Since 2015, there have been no less than 89 drone incidents reported to the Board.
“This was an accident that could have easily been avoided … if the person flying the other drone would have followed the basic guidelines set by Transport Canada,” Martincowski told PetaPixel. He continued with a word of warning, saying, “drones are not toys — they are tools that could be very helpful to us all. But if misused, it could cause very serious injuries and possibly even death.”
Creignou claims to have missed work since the incident and her husband says the couple had to cancel their vacation due to doctor visits. Lawyers have been called and charges are possible.
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.
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.
