If you’ve ever wanted to get up close and personal with a moose, now’s your chance.
Coming eye to eye with a moose is usually a dangerous ordeal, considering males can grow to upward of 1,500 pounds and 7 feet in height. But thanks to a talented drone operator, we get a first-hand, or first-propeller, look at a moose cow in the wild.
While casually filming with his DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone in Norway, Kolbjørn Hoseth Larssen came across a curious moose. As Larssen was hovering the drone above the ground, trying to get footage of the wilderness, the moose cow became enamored with the device.
As seen in the video, the moose was grazing about the land when it noticed the drone above its head. Once the moose acknowledged the device, the cow began to poke its nose at the UAV and playfully chased it down when Larssen moved it back, essentially persuading the moose to play a game of tag with a $350 drone.
For those concerned about the moose’s well-being, Larssen assured viewers in the YouTube comments that he had visual communication with both the drone and moose at all times and pulled back the drone to keep it at a safe distance as the moose continued to approach the vehicle.
Despite the incredible footage — and disclaimer that no animals were harmed in the making of this video — it’s still a good idea to keep drones away from wildlife. Just as drones can injure humans, the fast-spinning blades can also cause harm to animals, even those as powerful and bulky as moose.
Enjoy the footage as it’s shown, but don’t attempt this at home. It’s in the best interest of both wildlife and your expensive drone.
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.
