Pre-orders for new DJI Phantom 4 start 3/23/16

DJI wants to mix March Madness with Drone Madness. Their just-announced DJI Phantom 4 with obstacle avoidance technology (why did it take so many models before this got added) will be available for purchase on March 23 in 2016. The Phantom 4 kit will go for $1400 while its official backpack will go for $200.

PS: I created a new main category called Other Cameras to track video cameras, action cameras, drone cameras, and other non-camera cameras. Previously they were all included in the Fixed Lens Cameras category. This change is going forward, I will not go back and edit all the previous posts.

64GB Samsung or Sandisk USB 3.0 Flash Drive Fit for $18 each [updated]

If you are looking for tiny USB 3.0 flash drives, the 64GB Samsung USB 3.0 Flash Drive Fit, model MUF-64BB/AM, is currently on sale for $18 at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of 30 per customer. This is not a lightning. These are small enough they can be handy for laptops without increasing the “air space” a laptop occupies. They are the usual “proof” (Water proof, Shock proof, magnet proof, temp proof, and X-ray proof) with a five year warranty. Currently the 64GB version “defeats” the other two options in its own line.

UPDATE: it looks like we have an inter-company price-match because the 64GB version of Sandisk’s own line-up is also on sale for $18. In-fact Sandisk has two options, the Newest Version and the Previous Version.
