First Look: The new DJI Lito X1 Drone

DJI says the Lito X1 is aimed at content creators, those who shoot travel videography and for “advanced beginners” Whatever, this is a nice litle drone that covers a lot of bases in my opinion, and is a delight to fly.

We've Come A Long, Long Way. Make Use of It. RTFM. Here's Why.

Take the humble action camera. Released in 2006, it was one of the few products that was a breath of fresh in a somewhat stagnant marketplace. Look at what it can do now.
