If you thought DJI’s new zoom-capable drone camera was impressive, you might want to check out the model Walkera has on tap. The drone manufacturer’s latest features a zoom lens inside its camera system that offers 16x magnification.
The drone is called the Voyager 4 and it’s designed to be Walkera’s flagship machine for prosumer drone operators. On board is a gimbal-stabilized camera system that’s capable of capturing 360-degree visuals in 1080p and contains a ridiculous optical zoom range. How ridiculous? To offer a comparison, DJI’s new Zenmuse Z3 camera system has an equivalent zoom range of 22 to 77mm. The camera on the Voyager 4 has range of 10 to 1500mm.
Such impressive zoom capability doesn’t come standard, though, as noted by Gizmag. The 16x optical zoom option is an add-on. The standard version of the Voyager 4 contains a fixed focal length camera capable of capturing 4K footage.
For operating the drone, Walkera relies on Wi-Fi connectivity with a maximum distance of a mile or so. If you need a little more reach, the Voyager 4 is capable of using 4G cellular connectivity. Theoretically, you could control the drone from pretty much anywhere so long as you get service, but that’s not be a good idea due to fines and potential jail time.
Alongside the Voyager 4 comes a new controller from Walkera, the Devo F18, which is designed to be more user-friendly than previous iterations and offers multiple flight mode switches for easy customization.
No release date or pricing has been announced for either version of the Voyager 4 drone. For context though, the Voyager 3 retails for around $2,000, so the Voyager 4 will likely carry a comparable price tag.
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.
