HOA A1 Camera Turns an Open Frame Into a Tool for Trusted Everyday Photos

By Jackson Chung November 6, 2026

Lutra, a small South Korean startup, just introduced its Humans of Authenticity brand with a camera that looks more like a handheld window than a typical point-and-shoot. The HOA A1 places a 26mm f/1.75 prime lens and 16-megapixel Sony sensor right in the middle of a large rectangular frame you hold up to your face. Both eyes stay open and look straight through the empty space around the lens, so the person in front of you sees your eyes while you see them. That arrangement keeps the interaction direct instead of forcing everyone to wait while someone checks a rear screen.

Shane Wighton’s Multi-Jet Dog Washer Ends the Muddy Shake Problem for Good

By Bill Smith November 6, 2026

Shane Wighton of Stuff Made Here grew tired of the same backyard routine. His dog would find the one muddy spot in the yard, then shake hard enough to coat everyone nearby. Hand washing only moved the mess from the animal onto the people holding the hose. So he built a car-wash style machine that scans a set of nozzles along the dog while keeping owners out of the spray zone.

Ford Bronco Frostwarden Hits SEMA with 1200 Horsepower Arctic Rescue Power

By Bill Smith November 5, 2026

Ford rolled a single Bronco into SEMA this week built specifically for the kind of winter work most vehicles never attempt. Named Frostwarden, the one-off sits on portal gear lifts from 74Weld, runs 42-inch BFGoodrich tires on custom 18-inch Weld bead-lock wheels, and carries a supercharged 7.3-liter V8 that produces more than 1,200 horsepower and more than 1,000 lb-ft of torque on race fuel. The whole package was assembled by Kincer Chassis in Tennessee as a demonstration of what Ford Racing Parts and a short list of partners can do when the brief is simply to go as far as the platform allows.

DJI Matrice 5T Drone Brings Compact LiDAR and Native 1K Thermal to Industrial Missions

By Jackson Chung November 5, 2026

DJI released the Matrice 5T this week as a folding enterprise aircraft that carries a native 1280 by 1024 thermal camera, a rotating LiDAR unit, and millimeter-wave radar in an airframe rated IP55. The combination supports missions in low light, rain, fog, or dust where earlier compact models relied mainly on cameras. With a battery installed the aircraft weighs 2,239 grams and folds to 335 by 155 by 203 millimeters, so it still fits in a vehicle or case while adding roughly a kilogram of mass over the Matrice 4T.
