General announcements

Capture One

Capture One is changing the production lifecycle and upgrade structure. If you are an existing Capture One user, I would recommend reading through their announcement as it has some deadlines on upgrade offers before their plan changes for perpetual licenses. more information can be found at https://support.captureone.com/hc/en-us/articles/7998068628637?__s=xc6jcax4flskeehkz7od

DJI

Announce their latest in the Mavic Mini series, the Mavic Mini 3. Like the previous model, it is still under 249g so if you are just a hobbyist, this is your model. But some new features include longer standard battery life and an optional battery plus for longer flight times, higher wind resistance, new camera that does 4K HDR, and new controller purchase options.

Mylio

A reminder that Mylio has recently released a new version with many new features.
