Described by Blackmagic as 'revolutionary', the digital cinema camera features 13 stops of dynamic range, a high-resolution 2.5K sensor, a built-in high bandwidth SSD recorder, open file format support, color correction with full version of DaVinci Resolve and a built in LCD with metadata entry.

What's more surprising than Blackmagic entering the camera market is the price: US$2,995 (around £1,892). It's out in July. Blackmagic says that many current-generation video cameras suffer from a 'video look' due to a limited contrast range, a maximum HD resolution sensor, poor quality optics and lenses, the use of heavy video compression for file recording and poor integration with NLE software metadata management. The built-in SSD recorder has the bandwidth to capture open standard CinemaDNG RAW, ProRes and DNxHD files for use with Final Cut Pro X and Avid Media Composer.

Every tablet and phone out there has its own dock, stand, and range of accessories. Few are quite as nice, however, as the R1 tablet stand from Satechi. At $50, this universal tablet stand is an investment. Unless you know you'll be using tablets for a while, you might want to skip this one.

If you know you're in it for the long-haul, though, this stand will last. Build Quality Satechi didn't skimp on the materials with the R1. The hinges are sturdy and provide just the right amount of resistance. Usage The stand is very simple. During my normal day, I keep my tablet open just next to the monitor on my Windows 7 machine while I write. Price As always, it comes down to the money. If you're considering this tablet stand, though, it's worth considering that it can accommodate just about any tablet. Source: Satechi.

The Research Department at Japan’s Ministry of Defence has this week unveiled their new creation which is apparently the the world’s first spherical flying machine, and immediately reminded me of the flying ball drone from Star Wars. The flying ball drone has been designed to hover like a helicopter, and take-off and land vertically from any terrain. The benefit of the ball shape allows the craft to fly forward at high speed using wings, which a helicopter can’t do. Watch the video after the jump to see it in action and its features explained. “Because the exterior is round, this machine can land in all kinds of attitudes, and move along the ground. It can also keep in contact with a wall while flying. Because it’s round, it can just roll along the ground, but to move it in the desired direction, we’ve brought the control surfaces, which are at the rear in an ordinary airplane, to the front.” v Source: Diginfo : Tech Crunch.
