GoPro hasn’t been the loudest voice in the action camera space lately, but the MAX2 is back with a bold statement. This 360-degree camera is pushing the boundaries of what GoPro can do in a crowded market. With clearer footage, smarter editing options and a durable yet sophisticated design the MAX2 is an attractive option for creators who want to capture every aspect of their journey.
Meet the Osmo Nano, DJI’s latest creation and the lightest action camera yet. This tiny device is smaller than a key fob, yet still manages to pack a big punch. After months of rumors and speculation, DJI has finally released this little beauty and it can clip onto your hat, dangle from a lanyard or even attach to your pet.
Nissan has just released a preview of ProPILOT 2.0, its most advanced driving aid ever, and the timing was deliberate. With robotaxis already cruising the streets in a few US cities, the Japanese automaker is getting attention by showing a system designed for the crazy, unpredictable streets of Japan. This month they demoed it in downtown Tokyo, where prototype versions handled the chaos of one-way streets and crosswalks with ease.
If you’ve ever flown a drone, especially newbies, you know they crash. Fixed-wing drones, like airplanes, are fast and efficient but delicate when they hit trees or walls. The SWIFT drone, created at EPFL, takes inspiration from an unlikely source: the woodpecker. This bird, known for smashing its head into trees with no visible brain damage, inspired a drone that can withstand frontal impacts and keep flying. Built with tensegrity technology, the SWIFT is a game changer for anyone tired of picking up the pieces after a crash.
For $149.99 with a free Galaxy SmartTag2, the Galaxy Buds3 FE are a great deal for anyone outside the Apple ecosystem. At $100 cheaper than the AirPods Pro 3, these earbuds combine smart design, great sound and clever features that make them a great choice for Android users, especially those already using Samsung devices.
NGC 2775, located 67 million light-years away in the constellation Cancer, is a cosmic riddle that defies categorization. Astronomers have historically classed galaxies as spirals (with twisting arms of stars and gas) or ellipticals (smooth and featureless, like cosmic eggs). This galaxy, in a spectacular new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, is neither.
We live in a time where phones are demanding more from the outlets we plug into, and the Anker 523 Nano charger, priced at $19.99 (down from $29.99), is like a silent revolution. This little white brick, slightly bigger than the original 20-watt Apple adapter, packs 47 watts into a 3 oz package. Foldable prongs snap flat against the back so it can fit in a pocket or the side of a backpack. This accessory is perfect for anyone upgrading (or has upgraded) to the iPhone 17 which Apple just released with the promise of charging to 50% in 20 minutes with a 40-watt adapter.

With the Osmo Nano set to debut tomorrow, someone has already opened the retail box.

Jeff Bezos made headlines this week, not with a huge statement about lunar bases or orbiting hotels, but with a short video clip from Blue Origin’s latest New Shepard flight, captured by a camera that detached and drifted with the rocket. He puts it simply: two wide-angle lenses stitched together to form a complete circle of view.
Lockheed’s Skunk Works has always worked in the shadows, creating aircraft that change the skies. The Vectis drone is their latest announcement, a sleek, pilotless device that was developed over decades of secret innovation and internal funding.
