It’s been well over a month since DJI teased its new products, but today it officially announced two new gimbals — the Ronin S 2 and the smaller Ronin SC 2.
Both three-axis gimbals come with upgrades you’d expect — stronger motors, heavier payloads, lighter materials, but also some software features we haven’t seen yet. Before we get to that, let’s start with the hardware changes on the RS 2.
The more professional gimbal out of the two is now made with carbon fiber and is 1.3lbs lighter than the original Ronin S, weighing in at a total of 2.86lbs. DJI says the RS 2 supports maximum dynamic payload up to 10lbs. It can theoretically hold even heaving rigs, but you probably won’t get ideal performance with that.
The gimbal also comes...

The history of video games being adapted into live-action films has set the bar for accuracy incredibly low, even when taking recent successes like Detective Pikachu or Sonic the Hedgehog into account. That probably explains why the revelation that the upcoming Monster Hunter movie will bring the story out of its fantasy setting and into one reminiscent of Mad Max seems to have been met with less of a collective groan and more of an eye roll by fans of the long running game series.
But these players have nothing to fear, according to director Paul W.S. Anderson, who not only promised to stay faithful to the source material, but claims to have worked very closely with the original creators in a recent interview with Polygon.
“We worked very closely with Capcom on this one, much closer than on any other movie I’ve made. They were very, very involved with it. Everything was run by them and so they got input into absolutely everything. And then in the process of making the movie also, I would fly to Japan with rough cuts of the fight sequences with the creatures, and the actual game animators would comment on the movement of the creatures. ‘The movement of the creature isn’t exactly right here.’ ‘The creature would be a little lower.’ ‘The stance would be slightly different.’ ‘The toenails of the creature are too pointy.’ That was a great note. I’m like, ‘Oh my god, you’re looking at the toenails of the creature?’ We took all the notes because we wanted it to be for fans of the game, for us to put these creatures on screen as accurately as possible.”
As impressive as Anderson’s openness for collaboration may be, his previous track record with video game movies still raises many an eyebrow among fans. His first breakout hit came in the form of 1995’s Mortal Kombat, based on the series of fighting titles created by Ed Boon and John Tobias. Folks generally consider this film to be a mostly accurate adaptation aside from being jarringly sanitized compared to the arcade experience. He then went on to direct several movies based on Resident Evil – another Capcom property – which fans generally tend to see less favorably.
With that said, both Resident Evil and Monster Hunter star Anderson’s wife Milla Jovovich, which might mean that Capcom has been impressed by their previous work with her. But whether or not she or the film can impress audiences will have to wait to be seen when Monster Hunter releases on December 30th.
We’ve been lucky enough to get a heap of super cool fan trailers lately. From the jaw-droppingly awesome Lord Vader: A Star Wars Story, to a blood-drenched showdown between two of cinema’s most iconic villains in Jason Vs. Michael, it’s always fun showcasing unique fan-made interpretations of established franchises.
The latest fan trailer to catch our eye is a Last Of Us movie concept teaser, and it’s a real doozie. You can check it out in full above and of course, much thanks must go to the talented YouTuber Smasher for assembling such an authentic take on Sony’s post-apocalyptic horror exclusive. Frankly, this newly discovered video makes us wish for more official news about the recently announced television adaptation.
As you may already know, right now, The Last Of Us is currently in pre-production for the small screen and is scheduled to debut on HBO at some point in the near future. On paper, the ingredients are definitely there to craft something truly special. Not only is the games’ writer-director Neil Druckman attached to help pen the script, but Chernobyl‘s creator Craig Mazin is also involved. Furthermore, Breaking Bad director Johan Renck is apparently on board to helm the show’s pilot, and the survival-horror franchise’s Argentine composer Gustavo Santaolalla is on hand for the TV show’s musical score as well.
It’s likely that the upcoming series will look pretty similar – both tonally and aesthetically – to this recently discovered fan trailer, too. Unfortunately, no casting details or a concrete release date have been officially announced for the project, but rest assured that it’s starting to take shape behind the scenes.
Tell us, though, are you excited for HBO’s upcoming TV adaptation The Last Of Us? And who do you think should play the iconic roles of Joel and Ellie? Let us know in the usual place down below.
Some PlayStation 4 users who downloaded the latest 8.0 update got an unwelcome surprise this morning: their console informed them that Sony had the right to record their voice for moderation purposes.
Here’s a couple examples:

With the pandemic essentially halting travel, Clear — once in the business of streamlining security checks at airports — is now in search of other opportunities. For a company whose bread and butter is biometric identify verification, the solutions lie, well, everywhere, reports Dave Gershgorn for OneZero.
Clear sees its future as an identity platform. The company’s recently launched Health Pass service is just the start, an easy way to capitalize on the need for touchless health screenings, Gershgorn writes. The company plans for a wider implementation of Health Pass post-pandemic. Future uses of quick identity verification could serve an integral part of all transactions from sports arenas to retail stores, verifying age, payment...
By now, you’ve probably read my colleague Nick Statt’s piece about how the iPhone 12’s MagSafe magnetically-attached wireless charging cable opens up a future where iPhones won’t need ports at all.
That sounds futuristic! Now, let’s talk about something a little more practical... something legions of people already do with their phones.
We stick them in cases — thousands upon thousands of different cases every year — to protect them from damage, attach them to car docks, add fancy lenses and, most of all, reflect our personality and mood. We glue on flashy finger ring holders and PopSockets, slap on stickers, anything to make them look and feel different from the same damn iPhone our friends, family, neighbors and strangers are toting...

We’re in the final day of Prime Day 2020, and there are some stellar Lightning Deals happening. One that’s happening right now is on Sony’s 65-inch A8G OLED 4K television. Normally $1,998, it’s down to $1,500 for a limited time. This deal is set to last until 5PM ET today, but I have my doubts it will remain in stock for that long.
$1,500 is a good price for a 55-inch OLED TV, so getting a bigger size for that amount is a steal. And in terms of specs, the A8G is solid. It can be mounted to a wall, and has it Android TV with Cast built-in. In terms of ports, it has four HDMI ports with ARC and CEC support to let the TV work better with your other entertainment devices. Two of those ports support HDMI 2.0.
In general, an OLED TV will...
