Years from now, it's likely we'll look back at the DJI Spark and remember it as the quadcopter that signaled a fundamental change in the way we think about camera drones. Like some of consumer tech’s other landmark devices—the MP3 player, the smartphone, the tablet—Spark represents a level of performance and capability previously unheard of in a device so compact. And while it’s true that Spark isn’t the first pocket-sized

I can remember the SMPTE meeting that took place in 2010. It was a defining moment in digital capture, with discussions comparing three sensor-prism cameras and single-sensor cameras, all following the news that after 88 years, a prominent film lab in New York had decided to stop processing film. Then, ARRI showed the demo footage from its newest digital camera. The subject of the footage was exactly what we all asked for, but never seemed to get to see, until then. I’d love to write that you could hear the jaws hitting the floor, or wild

Drone racing has steadily gained in popularity over the years, graduating from a niche in the consumer market to having its very own ESPN-televised league. For beginners and many intermediates, participation usually involves a pre-assembled setup that comes Ready-to-Fly (RTF) out of the box. However, as many pilots will tell you, the best drones are built, not bought, which means at some point you’re going to have to get your hands dirty. With that DIY-attitude in mind, we've put together a high-level look at how to build your very own drone

There really are just several (later, we’ll touch on cool, special drone accessories, like launch pads, but first let’s review what the essentials are).
Newcomers to the world of drones might be surprised to see propellers on the list but, for many, these are crucial. Propellers

In these days of digital post production, filters are often overlooked as an image-control tool. But there are times when filters can be extremely useful, especially when capturing images from a drone. Common filters available for done cameras include UV, which are typically used as “protective filters,” neutral density filters (ND), which reduce light levels, and circular polarizer filters (CP), which reduce glare and have other properties. Unlike typical screw-on camera filters, filters for drones, in many cases, need to be made for the
