AirSelfie2 pocket-sized camera drone launches with slight improvements

09 Aug

AirSelfie2, an update to the original AirSelfie drone launched in late 2016, is now available for purchase. The new model, which was introduced during CES 2018, improves upon the original AirSelfie by increasing the camera resolution from 5MP to 12MP, including a 16GB integrated microSD card versus the original’s 4GB capacity, and increasing flight time by two minutes.

The AirSelfie2 features an anodized aluminum casing with overall dimensions slightly larger than a smartphone at 3.8″ x 2.8″ x 0.5″ / 9.7cm x 7cm / 1.3cm. The internal 400mAh battery provides up to five minutes of flight time per charge, with four turbo brushless fans providing lift. Users wirelessly control the miniature drone using a mobile app available on iOS and Android; range is vaguely stated as “over 60ft.”

The drone’s camera captures still images and Full HD videos with an 85-degree FOV. The company behind the device, AirSelfie Holdings, promises new features and “experiences” delivered to AirSelfie2 drone owners via future updates. The drone is available from AirSelfie and select online retailers in gold, rose gold, black, and silver colors for $ 200.

Tamron 18-270mm travel zoom lens gets slight update with fluorine coating

08 Sep
 Tamron’s new 18-270mm…  …and the previous version.

Tamron has introduced an updated version of its 18-270mm travel zoom lens, the Tamron 18-270mm F3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD model B008TS. Unlike the previous version (model B008), the B008TS features a fluorine coating on the front lens element, in addition to the existing Broad-Band Anti Reflection coating. With the fluorine coating, Tamron says the lens element is water and oil-repellant and less likely to be harmed by dirt, fingerprints, moisture, and dust.

While the fluorine coating is the new model’s biggest change, the folks at Imaging Resource have pointed out some minor cosmetic changes, as well. The gold trim ring found on the previous lens model has been replaced with a silver ring; as well, the overall lens design has been simplified, with both the zoom ring’s and focus ring’s styles being altered. According to Tamron, these changes ‘create an external design with a high-grade feel.’

According to Tamron’s website, the new lens will launch tomorrow in Japan with Canon and Nikon mounts for ¥83,000 before tax.
