CoronaVirus Takes NABShow 2020 Las Vegas Away

The yearly even NABShow 2020 Las Vegas has been cancelled due to CoronaVirus, COVID-19 developments.



From NAB:
 

March 11, 2020

 

Dear NAB Show community,

 

As you know, we have been carefully monitoring coronavirus developments both domestically and globally over the past few weeks.

 

In the interest of addressing the health and safety concerns of our stakeholders and in consultation with partners throughout the media and entertainment industry, we have decided not to move forward with NAB Show in April. We are currently considering a number of potential alternatives to create the best possible experience for our community.

 

This was not an easy decision. Fortunately, we did not have to make this decision alone, and are grateful to our NAB Show community for engaging with us as we grappled with the rapidly-evolving situation. This Show is as much yours as it is ours, and it is important to us that we move forward together.

 

For nearly 100 years, NAB Show has provided superior value and the best possible experience for exhibitors and attendees. We knew that if we could not deliver on those expectations, we would not move forward. More importantly, keeping the community safe and healthy is NAB’s highest priority; therefore, we are deferring to the developing consensus from public health authorities on the challenges posed by coronavirus.

 

We are still weighing the best potential path forward, and we ask you for your patience as we do so. We are committed to exploring all possible alternatives so that we can provide a productive setting where the industry can engage with the latest technology, hear from industry thought leaders and make the game-changing connections that drive our industry forward.

 

I want to stress that despite our disappointment at how this year’s Show has been impacted by global public health concerns, we are more excited than ever about the future of NAB Show and our relationship with you.

 

We are grateful for each and every member of our Show community. It is your passion for the industry that makes NAB Show a success year after year, and it is that same passion that will drive us into the future as we look ahead to new possibilities later this year and beyond.

 

Sincerely,

Gordon H. Smith

Possible DJI Mavic Air 2 photos leaked!

The photos of much awaited and delayed DJI Mavic Air 2 were leaked by the DJI source OsitaLV on Twitter. The DJI Mavic Air was released in January of 2018 in drone terms is overdue for a replacement.

The design, colors, and materials used very closely resemble the DJI Mavic 2 series. But the photos emit the feeling of cheap plastic.

We can see a number of sensors and are in line with DJI Mavic 2 series. There is a LED light, the dual vision system, infrared sensing system and the Bottom Auxiliary Light assist. All seem to have been carried over from the DJI Mavic 2 series.

The controller is way different from the previous DJI Mavic Air controller. The controller looks like the DJI Smart Controller but the screen. We can see a switch for tripod, normal and sport mode, return home button, function button, an on/off switch, a video/photo button and four battery status indicator lights on the remote controller.

Tokina celebrates the 70th anniversary of Tokina with brand new Tokina 2020 line-up

Mar 6, 2020
 
This year we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Tokina brand. In May, 1950 Tokyo Koki Manufacturing company (President, Mr. Denkichi KAWAGUCHI) was established in Shinjuku District, Tokyo as an optical products manufacturer and started designing and manufacturing Tokina brand lenses. During this long period Tokina has left a great legacy behind.
 
We are happy to introduce you our new Tokina 2020 line-up, which was originally planned to be presented at the biggest annual Asian Camera and Imaging photo show CP+2020 (Yokohama, Japan). Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the show was canceled.

We couldn't accept the loss of this great chance. Therefore, in commemoration of the 70th anniversary, we officially announce Tokina new lens line-up which we intend to release in 2020 year.
Note: The product images are tentative. Design may be changed without preliminary notification.
