DJI is trusting users to fly their drones safely, and it's as bad an idea as it sounds

DJI is trusting users to fly their drones safely, and it's as bad an idea as it sounds I don't trust you. I like you and I want to share my tech knowledge with you but when it comes to something like flying a drone, I simply won't trust that every random drone owner will follow basic flight safety rules. But I'm not DJI, the world's number-one drone maker . Arguably the maker of the best drones in the world (its fliers top our best drones list and warrant their own best list ), DJI made it clear this week that it fully trusts its drone customers to steer their drones clear of sensitive areas like prisons, airports, and national landmarks. These so-called no-fly zones are currently GEO-coded into DJI drones, which means the flying cameras would automatically steer clear. They did in the US, at least. Last year, DJI switched those controls off in the European Union, and now it's followed suit in the U.S. Flying blind In a blog update posted this week , the...

One of iPhone’s best features is finally going to Disney World and Disneyland

One of iPhone’s best features is finally going to Disney World and Disneyland Disney is now rolling out support for Live Activities on the iPhone. The enhanced feature should make getting food at Disney World or Disneyland easier. Like other rollouts, the Live Activities support extends to the Dynamic Island. Disney Parks around the world are known for food, and your iPhone is about to get a lot more helpful if you’re getting the goods at Disney World in Florida or Disneyland in California. Disney is now adding support for one of the iPhone’s best features to its mobile ordering system for the Disneyland and My Disney Experience” for Disney World iOS apps.

DJI Mavic 4 Pro leaks show it could improve my favorite camera drone with a redesigned triple camera module

DJI Mavic 4 Pro leaks show it could improve my favorite camera drone with a redesigned triple camera module Leaked images seemingly show the rumored DJI Mavic 4 Pro's redesigned bulbous camera module Leakers have spotted that DJI's new LiDAR feature might be missing No suggestions of a launch date, yet A recently leaked image seemingly gives us the most detailed look at the rumored DJI Mavic 4 Pro drone's camera module, and it takes a new form compared to that of the Mavic 3 Pro. The Mavic 3 Pro is our favorite premium camera drone and is the first consumer drone with a triple camera module, which we awarded 2023 Camera of the Year . It features an angular module with 24mm, 70mm, and 166mm lenses for different perspectives. The leaked Mavic 4 Pro appears to have a triple camera module, too, but it looks pretty different. Most apparent from the leaked pictures shared by reliable leaker @QuadroNews on X (formerly Twitter) is that the Mavic 4 Pro's Hasselblad...

The new DJI Flip has a first-of-its-kind design that could be the future for beginner drones – but I'm not sure it hits the mark

The new DJI Flip has a first-of-its-kind design that could be the future for beginner drones – but I'm not sure it hits the mark The new DJI Flip sits above the Neo as a pricier multi-use beginner drone It features a unique folding propellor design Price starts from $439 / £369 / AU$699 DJI has unveiled the new and unique Flip, its latest multi-use drone for beginners. Like the DJI Neo , the DJI Flip is simple to operate for aerial selfies thanks to its auto-tracking flight modes and safety-first design, which includes propellor guards so you can fly up close. However, it’s also supercharged with superior flight performance and image quality. During our in-depth DJI Flip review we discovered that you get better 4K video and 12MP images compared to the Neo, with their quality approaching what you'll get from DJI’s Mini series of drones, like the Mini 4K or Mini 4 Pro , although the Flip doesn't quite hit those same heights. What’s most distinct about the DJI Fli...

This new gadget could transform the way you consume food, as long as you don't mind eating on camera

This new gadget could transform the way you consume food, as long as you don't mind eating on camera Amazfit has unveiled a new health gadget to help you with your eating The V1tal is a camera that watches and analyses you while you eat It can track calories, macros, and your eating behavior Amazfit is a household name when it comes to smart tech and wearables, and makes some of the best cheap smartwatches in the industry. But at CES 2025 the company unveiled a brand-new type of health gadget that promises to transform the way you eat food – as long as you don't mind eating on camera. As reported by Digital Trends , the Amazfit V1tal is a camera that records and analyzes your eating. The device itself is straightforward enough – it's a simple camera with a viewfinder screen, and it looks a bit like a primitive GoPro or DJI. But it's the technology under the hood, and what the V1tal does with your eating data that are impressive. You simply set your V1tal up...

DJI's Mic Mini might just have met its match: the tiny, logo-free Hollyland Lark M2S wireless mic

DJI's Mic Mini might just have met its match: the tiny, logo-free Hollyland Lark M2S wireless mic Hollyland announces new Lark M2S wireless mic to rival DJI and Rode The M2S is available in twin mic / receiver kits for around $139 / £130 It features a discreet logo-free design and weighs just 7g There's no shortage of wireless mics for content creators in 2025, with the likes of the DJI Mic Mini and the Rode Wireless Micro being two fine examples. So how is it possible to stand out in an increasingly saturated market? By being practically invisible, as it turns out. The new Hollyland Lark M2S has a feature set to rival the DJI Mic Mini, but with the design that DJI wishes it had: the Lark M2S is not only the smallest wireless mic we've seen yet when clipped to clothing, but it's also logo-free. A discreet and logo-free mic that weighs a mere 7g and won't tug on clothing is a win in our book – too many wireless mics are all too visible in content that fl...

Segway’s new Xyber e-bike looks like a powerful e-motorbike

Segway’s new Xyber e-bike looks like a powerful e-motorbike Segway announces Xyber and Xafari e-bikes Xyber boasts faster acceleration and moto-frame Xafari promises efficiency and comfort Segway might be best known for those iconic two-wheeled personal transporters, but at CES 2025 it has two new electric bikes to show off that boast premium performance at a premium price, but if they’re as good as Segway promises then they could sit among the best e-bikes you can buy. They’re up for preorder now ahead of their February release at store.segway.com . Starting with the $2,999.99 Segway Xyber. At a quick glance you might mistake it for a dirt bike – perhaps due to its front moto-style, inverted dual-crown fork suspension featuring 110mm of travel (the rear suspension boasts 100mm of travel) – though Segway prefer to calls it a light-electric-vehicle which conjures up images of it being like a small motorbike perfect for city cruising. Powered by a 2,880Wh dual-battery config...

The 12 most exciting cameras of 2025, from the iPhone 17 to the Sony A7 V

Image
The 12 most exciting cameras of 2025, from the iPhone 17 to the Sony A7 V Despite feeling like a relatively quiet year for leading camera brands, 2024 served up some real treats. Highlights included the Canon EOS R5 Mark II , which we awarded camera product of the year thanks to its speedy 45MP stacked full-frame sensor and innovative in-camera editing, such as its 400% upscale function that could end the megapixel race for good . We also loved testing the Fujifilm X100VI in Japan. This pricey premium compact camera nonetheless attracted huge pre-order numbers and is still on backorder the best part of a year later . It really is a delight to shoot with. DJI once again had a busy year with new drones, action cameras, vlogging cameras and accessories. It consequently scooped TechRadar's camera brand of the year – that's two years in a row. Other honorable mentions go to Nikon for its better-than-expected five-star Z6 III and Insta360 for doubling down on dominance in the ...

TechRadar's Year in Review 2024 – from tri-fold phones and super-smart rings to AI everywhere

Image
TechRadar's Year in Review 2024 – from tri-fold phones and super-smart rings to AI everywhere 2024 felt a lot like 1994. Back then it was the internet that was experiencing seemingly exponential growth: the worldwide web had only formally launched three years before, but by ’94 the first browsers and ecommerce platforms were in use, and websites were springing up everywhere. I was a college student at the time, and it was all very exciting, albeit not yet something which impacted my daily life too much. But by the time I started work a few years later, it was inconceivable that I might do my job without using the internet constantly. Substitute ‘AI’ for ‘the internet’ and you’ll have a pretty good idea of where we are right now. AI has been everywhere this year, like it was in 2023, but even more so. As you’ll read below, it’s infiltrating every aspect of our lives – and certainly every aspect of tech – and it will soon be impossible to imagine what the world was like before it...
