Dual-sensor gimbal – Infrared camera with 8K video cameraAccording to industry insiders, the 586 gimbal on the Autel Evo 2 will be capable of taking still photos at 48 MP and recording 8K video at 25 fps. Additionally, users will be able to shoot 6K video at 30 fps or 4K at 30 or 60 fps.

You will be able to shoot those sweet slo-mo videos with the 383 gimbal as you can record 4K video at 120 fps. A wide aperture range (up to f/2.8) means that this camera should have excellent low light capabilities.The dual sensor is particularly impressive as it takes infrared images at 640 x 512 or 320 x 256 and records 720p video.

After the Skydio 2, the Autel Evo 2 is another reminder that these new entrants in the drone market are not only catching up, but in fact, leaving the industry leader, DJI far behind.

Let’s see if DJI is able to muster up a fitting response when it launches the DJI Mavic 3 in January 2020.Our next story is a particularly interesting one. This is a story about drone pilot, Reuben Burciaga who was fined a hefty $20,000 for a reckless flight which ultimately ended as his drone landed next active airstrip at McCarran Airport in Las Vegas. Reuben's initial fine of $14,000 has now ballooned to more than $20,000 due to late fees as he failed to respond back to the FAA. Time and again, we have discussed how FAA's lack of enforcement is endangering airspace safety. So, was the FAA right in slapping this huge $20,000 fine on Reuben? Hear this story, and let us know your thoughts.
