The most popular drone brand, DJI, is selling their DJI Air S2 model for $150 cheaper on Amazon today. It’s down to $849 from its original $999. Drone deals like this tend to sell out quickly, so make sure to grab it soon. If you’re not sure whether this drone fits all your remotely piloted aerial device needs, read more about it below.

Why you should buy the DJI Air 2S

The DJI Air 2S, a refresh of the DJI Mavic Air 2, features the same compact and foldable design, but with a 20-megapixel, 1-inch sensor that’s double in size from its predecessor. The larger sensor means it can draw in more light, for clearer photos and videos particularly in low-light environments. The drone is also capable of recording 5.4K videos at up to 30 frames per second, or 4K videos at up to 60 frames per second, so you can capture memorable moments at the best possible quality. You’ll also have access to various QuickShot modes that record your chosen subject in different ways, and the new MasterShot mode that combines some of the most popular QuickShot modes to automatically produce professional-looking footage.

You don’t need to be a professional pilot or a veteran aerial photographer to use the DJI Air 2S, as the drone is equipped with sensors that allow it to avoid obstacles in all directions. It also features DJI’s OcuSync 3.0 transmission system that promises stronger interference resistance and video feeds as far as 7.5 miles. The drone can last up to 31 minutes on a single charge, and it can go as fast as 42.5 miles per hour.

DJI’s drones are among the best in the business, but they don’t come cheap. That’s why there’s always high demand for discounts like Amazon’s $150 price cut for the DJI Air 2S. You can get the drone delivered to your doorstep for just $849 instead of $999, but you’ll need to be quick with your purchase because the offer’s probably drawing a lot of attention from shoppers. If you don’t want to miss out on this chance to get the DJI Air 2S at 15% off, you should complete the transaction immediately.

Don’t buy the Meta Quest Pro for gaming. It’s a metaverse headset first
Meta Quest Pro enables 3D modeling in mixed reality.

Last week’s Meta Connect started off promising on the gaming front. Viewers got release dates for Iron Man VR, an upcoming Quest game that was previously a PS VR exclusive, as well as Among Us VR. Meta, which owns Facebook, also announced that it was acquiring three major VR game studios -- Armature Studio, Camouflaj Team, and Twisted Pixel -- although we don’t know what they’re working on just yet.

Unfortunately, that’s where the Meta Connect's gaming section mostly ended. Besides tiny glimpses and a look into fitness, video games were not the show's focus. Instead, CEO Mark Zuckerberg wanted to focus on what seemed to be his company’s real vision of VR's future, which involves a lot of legs and a lot of work with the Quest Pro, a mixed reality headset that'll cost a whopping $1,500.

Meet the game-changing pitching robot that can perfectly mimic any human throw
baseball hitter swings and misses

Who’s your favorite baseball pitcher? Shane McClanahan? Sandy Alcantara? Justin Verlander? Whoever you said, two of the top sports-tech companies in the U.S. -- Rapsodo and Trajekt Sports -- have teamed up to build a robot version of them, and the results are reportedly uncannily accurate.

Okay, so we’re not talking about walking-talking-pitching standalone robots, as great a sci-fi-tinged MLB ad as that would be. However, Rapsodo and Trajekt have combined their considerable powers to throw a slew of different technologies at the problem of building a machine that's able to accurately simulate the pitching style of whichever player you want to practice batting against -- and they may just have pulled it off, too.
