MAVIC 3 PRO TAKES MULTI-CAMERA SHOOT AIRBORNE DJI
BY DAVID FOX
The Mavic 3 Pro is claimed to be the fi rst drone to offer an optical triple camera system – each with different focal lengths: a 24mm Hasselblad wide-angle camera; a 70mm medium tele camera with 1/1.3in CMOS sensor and 3x optical zoom; as well as a 166mm tele camera with 7x optical zoom. Ferdinand Wolf, Creative Director, DJI, said: “The Mavic 3 Pro’s triple camera combination gives users the ability to switch between shot composition with just one tap,
allowing content creators a wider variety of shots in less time than ever before.”
The Hasselblad has a large 4/3in CMOS sensor that shoots 12-bit raw with a native dynamic range of up to 12.8 stops. There is also a new, more easily gradable 10-bit D-Log M colour mode that delivers natural colour gradations even in high- contrast scenarios, such as sunsets. The camera can capture at up to 5.1K at 50fps or DCI 4K at 120fps. All three cameras support Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Apple ProRes 422 and Apple ProRes 422 LT encoding. The drone also features a 43-minute maximum fl ight time,
NEW BATTERIES ROCK THE B-LOK Hawk-Woods BY DAVID FOX
New from Hawk-Woods are the B-Lok range of B-Mount 98, 150 and 350Wh lithium-ion batteries that output 26V to suit all Arri equipment, with the charged voltage peaking at 29.4V. All the B-Lok batteries provide two power outputs to support further equipment around the camera, including multi-directional 12V D-Tap and a USB-C. The batteries communicate directly with Arri equipment, allowing users to select time remaining or percentage remaining. There

are also two-way and four-way simultaneous chargers available. Hawk-Woods is also showing a more powerful version of its best-selling product, the MXB- 880 880Wh fl oor battery, with built-in charger. The prototype 1600Wh version will include 14V, 28V and 48V outputs. James Denyer, Account Manager for Hawk-Woods, said: “You can literally use if for any type of equipment – from cameras to lights and sound equipment [across a full camera set up]. It can take a beating and continue to work – it’s very durable.” 12.F94
Obsbot BY DAVID FOX
The Obsbot Tiny 2 is an AI-powered 4K pan/tilt/ zoom webcam, which has a 50MP 1/1.5in CMOS sensor – larger than is usual for such webcams. Obsbot claims this improves its dynamic motion capture features and colour performance. The Tiny 2 uses an enhanced version of Obsbot’s patented Deep Neural Learning Network algorithm, which allows for an almost instantaneous response when using its AI auto tracking with auto zoom, auto focus, or other responsive functions. It makes sure the user is always in
focus and in the centre during screen scaling and tracking. Besides portrait tracking, it has hand and zone tracking, and voice control to allow users to change camera angle (between presets or to zoom in/out) while doing activities – it also works with gesture control and a hand-held remote. Other features include 4K video up to 30fps or 1080p video up to 60fps, as well as an auto focus response time claimed to be four times faster than rival products. It also offers two native ISO settings to cope with different lighting situations, dual omni-directional microphones with noise reduction and HDR. 11.B19
