3DRobotics IRIS+ review: A powerful tool for filmmakers


3DRobotics’ Iris+ made a big splash last year as a powerful drone capable of autonomous flight. Cool, right? All while promising a lengthy flight time, flexible payload capacity and integrated LEDs for “trouble-free directional awareness.” If you’re serious filmmaker who is curious about the aerial possibilities of a drone, the Iris+ offers enough power and features to give your movies a great new perspective.


Equipped with a two-axis gimbal, the Iris+ is a filmmaker’s dream drone. You can program it to fly manually with the included controller, or use the device’s 3PV Follow Me mode, which turns the Iris+ into your own personal camera crew. Just plan your flight route and the drone will do as you wish. “If you can draw it, you can fly it,” 3D Robotics says.


The Iris+ is rated for a flight time of about 16-22 minutes—it just depends on factors like payload (up to 8 pounds), wind conditions and more. That may not seem like a lot, but it should be just enough to get your a nice shot at sunset.


Some of the Iris+’s other features include automatic mission planning and flight protection, which allows the Iris+ to land automatically. So you can essentially set a path using the follow me feature, and let the drone do its thing. It gives you the time and the freedom to compose your other shots down on the ground.


The Iris+ is offered in two different frequencies: 915 MHz and 433 MHz; 915 MHz is for the U.S. and Canada. You can also add a ton of other options to your purchase, including an SD card, GoPro HERO4, and more. Prices start at $750, which means it’s more of an investment than anything.

Mad Max meets Mario Kart is just bloody brilliant

How is this for a clever mash-up?  sundbergkr ‘s Mario Kart: Fury Road parody trailer mashes up the worlds of Mad Max and Mario Kart to epic results in this wonderful parody of the film’s trailer. What’s really special about this mash-up is that it isn’t entirely overdone. The Mario references are brief, subtle, and appear just long enough for you to appreciate them before waiting eagerly for the next one. Without a doubt the giant Chomp is the most laugh out loud moment, but the creators also slip in some perfectly timed and inappropriate voice clips during the violent action. I still haven’t seen Mad Max: Fury Road , due it not coming out in Japan until June 20, but I had purposely avoided the trailers to not get any spoilers. Now, thanks to Mario, June 20 can’t come fast enough! Source : Via : Destructoid from TechnoBuffalo http://ift.tt/1AvRv58

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly ...

Star Wars: Battlefront will not have classes

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo When it comes time to pick your gear and weaponry in DICE’s upcoming relaunch of  Star Wars: Battlefront , you won’t be sifting through classes or class-specific stuff. That’s because the new  Battlefront has no class. I don’t mean that in a belch during dinner at a fancy restaurant kind of way, either. I mean you won’t be picking stuff like Engineer, Assault or Support before you roll onto the battlefield. In an interview with OXM , as summed up by the magazine’s sister site  Games Radar , Design Director Niklas Fegraeus indicated that classes are out. You’ll be able to pick and choose between unlocked weapons and gear freely and build to your own style. Furthermore, Fegraeus also indicated that  Battlefront will not feature the five-person squad feature that  Battlefield  offers. Instead, players will run as partners, a group of two system that lets players stick together, appear on one another’s HUDs and spawn besi...
