ARRI has a new accessory for their industry leading Orbiter LED. Presented in their latest Tech Talk video, The ARRI Orbiter Glass Cover is an optical accessory, which allows for full, unrestricted light output without impacting the colour temperature or quality. Thanks to its ultra-translucent glass element, the Glass Cover is perfect for near distance applications in tight locations where space is limited and you need as much light as you can get. It provides an 80 degree beam angle and a single hard shadow, while at the same time protecting the Orbiter light engine.

DJI has introduced the O3 Air Unit camera and transmission system for FPV drones. The O3 Air Unit consists of three modules - a camera, a transmission module, and an antenna. Based on the new DJI Avata FPV technology, the O3 Air Unit offers a low latency 1080p feed at up to 6.2 miles with the DJI Goggles 2, and also has the ability to record 4K/60p video or 2.7K at 120 frames per second slow-motion to a 20GB on-board storage. The camera features a 1/1.7 inch 48 Megapixel sensor paired with an ultra-wide angle lens with a 155 degree field of view for capturing stunning vistas, while the Rocksteady 2.0 image stabilisation can be applied internally for high-quality, smooth footage straight out of the camera.
