<h3 class="wp-block-heading">DJI Inspire 3 all-in-one 8K camera drone</h3>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://store.dji.com/hk-en/product/dji-inspire-3?vid=136551" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="522" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/dj-inspire-3-b.jpg" alt="luxury gadgets" class="wp-image-77253" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/dj-inspire-3-b.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/dj-inspire-3-b-412x280.jpg 412w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/dj-inspire-3-b-200x136.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></a></figure></div>


<p>Our eyes are often regarded as the best camera because no camera can capture a scene as vividly as human eyes. But an equally fantastic gadget is the DJI Inspire 3 all-in-one 8K camera drone, which is even better in some ways because it allows you to record and review your recordings.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>DJI has opted for a compact design that brings all the parts of the drone camera &#8211; the FPV camera, visual sensors, positioning antennas and storage card slot &#8211; into a single airframe, thus not only keeping the design simple but also taking aerodynamics into consideration so that the flight is less resistant to air. This low resistance allows the drone to reach a maximum flight speed of 10m/s and a maximum duration of 28 minutes.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Its GPS system uses Real-Time Kinematics technology with centimetre-level accuracy, ensuring that the drone can be flown more precisely. The DJI Inspire 3 offers different flight modes, among which one is the repeatable routes which allow you to take the same route repeatedly until you get the shot of your liking.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>For the camera, DJI has improvised its Zenmuse X9-8K to include the newly developed image processing CineCore 3.0 which allows videos to be captured in 8K resolution. It is also integrated with the Spotlight Pro feature that enables the camera to recognise its subjects more efficiently. Available at DJI’s online store for HK$88,299.</p>


The Must-Have Luxury Gadgets That Will Revolutionize Your Life


<p>Prophesies of doom and media hullabaloo surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI) have hit the headlines for years – but this time it seems different. It is who and how many are creating the noise.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>A Goldman Sachs report in March sounded the alarm bells, warning that AI could replace the equivalent of 300 million jobs. Soon after, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, got in on the act – along with 1,800 technology researchers and executives – calling for a six-month pause in the development of AI systems such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 (the latest version of the groundbreaking tech that powers ChatGPT). They warned that powerful digital minds were being created “that no-one – not even their creators – can understand, predict or reliably control”.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>More recently, even more dire warnings have been sounded, with experts such as the heads of OpenAI and Google DeepMind postulating that AI could lead to the extinction of humanity. AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio also called for urgent action to protect the public.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Accessible &amp; disruptive</h3>



<p>The launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been transformational. While chatbots have been around for some years, and have been considered for a whole range of industrial uses from logistics to medicine, this latest computer chatterbox has astounded commentators with its language ability. Aside from its conversational aplomb, it has shown its versatility with capabilities for writing music, debugging computer programs and completing high-level academic examinations.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Sean McMinn is the Director of the Center for Education Innovation at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), where he manages a special teaching and learning development fund specific to AI called the Education and Generative AI (EDGE-AI) projects fund. He believes ChatGPT’s accessibility is the key game-changer.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“This is about accessibility and ease of use,” he says. “AI tools have been developing for a number of years, but they have never been too widely accessible. The user interface of ChatGPT [though] is extremely basic and anyone with a device and internet connection can interact with the Chatbot with ease. Because of this, and the perceived usefulness of the output it generates, it is not surprising that it has gained such attention worldwide. Add to that, the [AI] tools are more powerful than they were just a year ago.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>McMinn believes it is largely irrelevant that most people do not understand the technology that ChatGPT is built on, namely Large Language Models (LLMs). By far the most important consideration is that it is a very disruptive technology.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Academia alarm The academic community has been particularly perturbed by the latest developments in AI. ChatGPT (GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer) can write introductions to scientific articles, high-level computational mathematics and even college courses. The University of Hong Kong was initially so concerned that it implemented a blanket ban on its use; they have since softened their stance, greenlighting ChatGPT for staff (but not student) use until guidelines are introduced. Hong Kong Baptist University is also developing guidelines. One of McMinn’s main roles at HKUST is to explore technology-enhanced teaching and learning (TETL) methods and advise university management and faculty on strategies for implementing such initiatives. “While a lot is still unknown and speculative, many people believe that AI has the potential to enhance or transform how we teach and assess,” he says.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="431" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/chatgpt_p.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-76277" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/chatgpt_p.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/chatgpt_p-200x112.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/chatgpt_p-499x280.jpg 499w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure>



<p>Following the ongoing speculation and uncertainty about the impact of generative AI on the education sector and workplace, he readily understands why some institutions may choose a cautious approach. The overriding issue concerns integrity. “How do we know what students submit is their own work? Do we have valid evidence that they are learning? Are the assessment tools teachers are using able to distinguish AI output and student outcomes?”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>He believes the uncertainty surrounding the issue could have some positives – spurring into action institutions which have been slow to revamp how and what they teach and forcing a review of what knowledge and skills students need in today’s fast-changing world.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>McMinn does voice concerns that banning the use of generative AI tools may be doing our students a disservice, and he advocates a shift of energy towards preparing students for an AIdriven world. “These tools are not going away; in fact, we will probably see faster advancement in the next few years,” he says. “We should be preparing students for the future of work where AI tools will be commonplace in the workforce.”</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Workplace worries</h3>



<p>Speculation has been rampant about which jobs will be affected or lost as a result of recent developments. The Goldman Sachs report said AI could assume about a quarter of the work now done by humans. Accountants, lawyers, doctors, journalists, data managers and professionals in other sectors are all thought to be at risk from an AI surge, and there has been speculation that Hollywood film studios might consider replacing writers with generative artificial intelligence.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“Many professions that rely on creativity will be disrupted, but I am not certain they will disappear completely. In some ways, AI tools have the affordance for new forms of creativity. I think there will still be a need for writers – just in a different form perhaps,” says McMinn.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>He does believe ChatGPT has limited the need for brainstorming and drafting. “Now, we can generate ideas and drafts, and spend more time on editing. So, knowing that process will change, we can start to focus on higher-order tasks that require more analytical thinking.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>There are various tools available in Hong Kong to assist with writing and brainstorming ideas – Poe.com, Bing Chat, and Google Bard via a VPN. But he warns: “Always check the content these tools generate. LLMs hallucinate and there is a lot of inherent bias that could be harmful to users.”</p>



<p>Google is slowly integrating its AI into its search engine, much the same way Microsoft integrated Bing into theirs. “I think users will just interact differently with Google and Microsoft’s Bing search,” he says.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Some professionals may need to think about upskilling or reskilling, and acquiring expertise relevant to their career that AI cannot master. McMinn is confident jobs that do not exist now will emerge in the AI-driven near future. “AI still lacks contextual awareness or metacognitive tasks. Humans will still be important for critical and relative thinking, as well as problem-solving for tasks that are contextual,” he says.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="500" height="750" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/AI-Robot-with-human-mind_p.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-76274" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/AI-Robot-with-human-mind_p.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/AI-Robot-with-human-mind_p-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/AI-Robot-with-human-mind_p-187x280.jpg 187w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure></div>


<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ethical issues</h3>



<p>There are undoubtedly complex issues surrounding the widespread dissemination of AI. A US lawyer recently admitted to using AI for case research. Part of McMinn’s role at the university is to highlight the ethical implications of such technology and ensure stakeholders are aware of the implications.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>One concern is information bias. The New Scientist recently highlighted the implications of how ChatGPT and GPT-4 are more familiar with books that appear online. “Always be cognisant that these tools are inherently biased,” says McMinn. “Much of the bias is inherited by the data sets used to train the AI tools, but also the content policies developed by the companies. Most of these biases are unintentional, but they are there.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Since misinformation spread at a rapid rate will have societal implications, institutions and companies need to develop clear AI policies and guidelines for their stakeholders. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak recently said AI may make scams harder to spot.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“I do also worry that these tools may reinforce echo chambers, especially with all the talk of personalising experiences with AI,” says McMinn. “We also need to be mindful that bad actors will use these tools to scam people.”</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="432" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/AI-Robot-and-Human-Hand_p.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-76278" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/AI-Robot-and-Human-Hand_p.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/AI-Robot-and-Human-Hand_p-200x113.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/AI-Robot-and-Human-Hand_p-498x280.jpg 498w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Being human</h3>



<p>Educator Svetlana Chigaeva-Heddad has been exploring the capabilities and limitations of ChatGPT and other Gen AI technology. “I cannot emphasise enough how important it is to think through the process of engaging with these tools and reflecting on what our engagement with these tools means for us as humans and for our agency in the future,” she says.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Pointing out the connection between language and thought, she adds: “Given that generative AI tools are based on human language, is it really impossible to imagine that there may be artificial general intelligence which will be able to think like humans and perform tasks at the highest levels that we currently assume to be unique to humans?”</p>


Transform or Die: Now a chatter of fact not science fiction, AI is changing the human experience


<p>Everyone longs for youthful and radiant skin and if that is possible without having to go under the knife, it is a win-win. Look no further than the world of non-invasive facial treatments. With advancements in technology, there is now an array of cutting-edge procedures that can transform your complexion without the need for surgery.</p>



<p>From laser facial treatments that stimulate collagen production to HIFU treatments that provide a non-surgical facelift, and the revolutionary Ultherapy that tightens and lifts sagging skin – we have covered the different non-surgical facial treatments you can get done in Hong Kong.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Laser Facials</h3>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<p>Laser facial treatments have gained immense popularity among skincare enthusiasts and for good reasons. These cutting-edge treatments use light-based technology to address a wide range of skin concerns. During the procedure, a laser device that emits a precise wavelength of light is projected on the skin to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin&#8217;s appearance. These advanced laser facial treatments can help resolve several skin concerns by diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, tightening the skin, evening out skin tone, and reducing the appearance of acne scars.</p>

<p>When it comes to non-invasive facial treatments, EMFace is a game changer as it allows individuals undergoing the session to achieve a comparatively sculpted and toned face. The whole procedure typically takes 20 minutes and during this time a device emitting RF (Radio Frequency) and HIFES (High-Intensity Facial Electromagnetic Stimulation) is attached to your face. With the RF rays helping to multiply collagen production and HIFES improving the facial tissues, this non-needle treatment is highly-favoured for offering double the benefits.</p>

<p>Perfect for rejuvenating and revitalising the skin is the HIFU facial treatment. HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) facial treatments have received praise for being the ultimate non-surgical facelift, and it&#8217;s not hard to see why. This state-of-the-art procedure employs the power of ultrasound energy that helps to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. As the energy penetrates deep into the skin&#8217;s layers, it stimulates collagen production, resulting in a firmer and more youthful complexion. That is why HIFU is often opted for by people who are concerned about their skin sagging, wrinkles and fine lines. Besides, the treatment needs no downtime or recovery period, thus making this non-invasive treatment a go-to option for those seeking natural-looking and long-lasting results.</p>

<p>Ultherapy is another non-surgical skin-tightening procedure that has revolutionised the cosmetology field by offering a safe and effective way to lift and tighten sagging skin. This innovative treatment uses ultrasound energy to stimulate the production of collagen deep within the skin, resulting in a toned and sculpted facial feature. Ultherapy targets the underlying layers of skin without causing damage to the surface. As a result, this stimulates a natural healing response, promoting the growth of fresh collagen over time. While Ultherapy is quite similar to HIFU, it uses micro-focused ultrasound rays instead of the high-intensity focused rays used in HIFU.</p>

<p>However, PlantSnap is limited to only helping with the identification and cannot actually help you with taking care of the plants.

Plant Parenthood Made Simple: Apps for Keeping Your Plants Healthy


<p>Most people like to start their day with a cold or hot cup of coffee as it gives a certain level of energy spike helping you work or study without feeling a bit drowsy. Whether you like yours to be sweet or bitter, finding the right coffee maker that suits your taste buds and lifestyle will allow you to sip on a cup that is just perfect for you. Here are the five basic types of coffee makers you should know.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">French Press Coffee Maker</h3>



<p>A French press coffee maker, which is also known as a cafetière, has a plunge and filter as its primary parts. When used for brewing, it is filled with coffee beans and water which is then pressed manually using the plunger allowing the coffee to drip through the mesh filter. Though operating this type of coffee maker is much more hands-on, the result is always a strong and flavourful cup of coffee due to the natural aromatic oils from the coffee beans and minute coffee grounds that pass through the filter. Moreover, a cafetière gives you full control of the process thus allowing you to brew a perfect cup that suits your taste.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="683" height="1024" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/coffeeshop-barista-using-aeropress-2023-05-24-22-20-57-utc-683x1024.jpg" alt="Aeropress Coffee Maker" class="wp-image-75665"/></figure></div>


<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Aeropress Coffee Maker</h3>



<p>This brewing device is quite similar to a French press, as it also uses the immersion method (soaking coffee powder in hot water before pressing them down with a plunger). However, an Aeropress coffee maker uses a thin filter paper instead of a metal mesh thus letting zero coffee grounds and oils pass through. It is perfect for people who like a cleaner-tasting coffee that is less bitter. Besides, its compact size, typically weighing about 200 grams, makes it travel-friendly.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="683" height="1024" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/automatic-drip-coffee-maker-isolated-on-white-tabl-2022-10-03-22-27-29-utc-683x1024.jpg" alt="Automatic Drip Coffee Maker" class="wp-image-75662"/></figure></div>


<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Automatic Drip Coffee Maker</h3>



<p>If you are looking for something less manual, then you may want to opt for the automatic drip. In this brewer, the coffee beans are soaked in water and the machine starts heating the two ingredients thus absorbing the essence from the cafe beans so that they can automatically drip through the filter paper. Given that this type of coffee maker can even brew more than 10 cups, it is practical for preparing coffee for large groups or caffeine addicts who usually consume more quantities.</p>

" class="wp-image-75664"/></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pour Over Coffee Maker</h3>



<p>While the aforementioned automatic drip coffee maker is super convenient to use, many coffee aficionados who are strongly particular about the taste will prefer the pour-over ones. This is simply, because, in the later version in which you get to pour the water through the funnel, you get all the control in the preparation process, unlike the automatic one which is preset. Also, the coffee from the automatic drip can taste a bit sour because water can be heated only up to a certain temperature but with a pour-over coffee maker, you boil the water in advance in a separate kettle allowing you to opt for your desired heat or coldness, which will have an impact on the taste of your drink.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cold Brew Coffee Maker</h3>



<p>Perfect for preparing a cold cup during summer, cold brew coffee makers will take you nearly 20 hours to prepare the decoction but it is totally worth it. Coffee powder is placed in room temperature water for the powder to steep in it for a while and the resulting beverage is strained into a carafe. The decoction from these coffee makers boasts such strong flavours because when the coffee grounds soak in water for such a long time, the drip will have all the aromatic oils and flavours from the cafe powder.</p>

5 Apps That Every Shopaholic Will Love – Facilitating The Online Shopping Experience

<p>We live in such a fast-paced society and our lives are going on so quickly that there is just not enough time to waste. We want everything to be done quickly, and convenience and versatility are two other things we appreciate the most these days. So, below are five genius creations that make life much easier. These are such brilliant innovations that it definitely feels as though we are living in the future.</p>
<p><strong>Versatile Lipstick Maker</strong></p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70187 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/gocolors-lipkits-e1678083415660.jpg" alt="brilliant innovations" width="500" height="711" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/gocolors-lipkits-e1678083415660.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/gocolors-lipkits-e1678083415660-200x284.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<p>Gaining so much appreciation and even an award for its infinite possible lip colours is this innovative lipstick kit by GoPlay cosmetics. The kit, which is no less than a fan favourite now, has been sold out so quickly that people have to pre-order if they have to get their hands on the Lipskit.</p>
<p>You can either choose the warm or the cool base colours depending on your skin’s undertone.</p>
<p>It is straightforward to use as the equipment comes with a colour-mixing chart, liquid lipstick bullets, reusable jars, and more products that let you create as many lip colours of any texture of your choice. Want something more shimmery? Just add a few drops of the moisture drops that are part of the kit.</p>
<p>The only drawback that users have found with the product is that it can get a bit messy when mixing the colours. Other than that, it is supposedly great with the cosmetic product boasting qualities such as waterproof, long-lasting, paraben free, and many more.</p>

<p>There was a time when we imagined the different things a robot would do, and if applying nail polish was on your list, then your imaginations have come true. This robot by Clockwork paints your nails for you.</p>
<p>You just need to place each of your fingers on the allocated spot and the Clockwork MiNiCURE will use its well-calculated algorithm to calculate your nail shape accurately and paint them perfectly. It is recommended that your nails do not have any nail polish to expect the best results.</p>
<p>Best of all, the whole process only takes about 10 minutes so it is perfect for people who want something done fast. However, the robot is only programmed to apply nail colour, and nothing more than that so if you are expecting a full-on manicure, you may want to book an appointment with a manicurist.</p>

<p>Though the name suggests that this tech creation only cleans jewellery, it can actually be used for multiple purposes like cleaning your eyeglasses, keys, dentures, makeup brush or anything that comes to your mind, as long as it fits in the machine.</p>
<p>Shaped like a mini bathtub, all you need to do is place the product you want to be cleaned inside the water-filled tub, and turn on the machine. The equipment will use its ultrasonic technology to do the spot-on cleaning in just three minutes.</p>
<p>For better results, it is suggested that you add a few drops of liquid soap along with the water.</p>

Small enough to slip into your pockets and easier to fiddle with than your smartphone, these are the pocket-size cameras to get for your next travel.</p>
<h3><b>Best Overall:&nbsp;</b><em><strong>&nbsp;GoPro HERO 10 Black</strong></em></h3>

<p><b>The Specs:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;Starting at the top of the list is the Hero 10 Black by action camera specialists GoPro. Although we had hoped to find a worthy contender to trump the coveted Hero 10 Black, to the surprise of none, it remains at the top of the best action camera and pocket camera for travels. Versatile to the max, it can suit any occasion or situation, from high-intensity sports videos to underwater diving shots, or simply travel vlogs and day-to-day video journaling.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>It shoots in 5.4k 23MP at <span style="font-weight: 400;">60fps and can dive underwater up to a depth of 33ft. It boasts an amazing HyperSmooth 4.0 video stabilization in all modes and performs brilliantly even in low light. It features a wide and extra wide angle lens that captures video and images in professional quality and also offers timpe lapse and slow-mo modes. It captures stills of 19.6MP videos as well as snap 23MP photos in its dedicated photo mode. It is also powered by a n</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">ew GP2 processor that allows for smoother video playback, especially on its improved front-facing screen.</span></p>
<p><b>The Cons: </b>Despite the impressively clear resolution of its specifications, the one flaw that we can point out is that its colour contrasts and range of colour profiles fall flat on details and its&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: 400;">built-in microphone could have been made to sound more detailed.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><b>The Verdict:&nbsp;</b>With a shock-proof case that is mountable to a wide range of different accessories, and full-automatic feature, this action / pocket camera is the perfect companion for adventure-seekers and beginner vloggers. It even allows for cloud connectivity for easy and instant sharing.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><b>Most Compact:&nbsp;<em><strong>DJI Osmo Pocket 2</strong></em></b></h3>
<p><figure id="attachment_66510" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-66510" style="width: 700px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-66510" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-dji-osmos-pocket-2-3.png" alt="eight Best pocket cameras to take on your travels gafencu gadget review dji osmos pocket 2 (3)" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-dji-osmos-pocket-2-3.png 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-dji-osmos-pocket-2-3-200x133.png 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-dji-osmos-pocket-2-3-600x399.png 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-dji-osmos-pocket-2-3-421x280.png 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-dji-osmos-pocket-2-3-120x80.png 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-dji-osmos-pocket-2-3-500x333.png 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-dji-osmos-pocket-2-3-400x266.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-66510" class="wp-caption-text">(Photo: Osmos Pocket 2, courtesy of DJI)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>The Specs:&nbsp;</strong>Ultra-compact and light weight, the Osmos Pocket 2 by drone experts DJI has put out a pocket-size vlogging camera perfect for capturing memorable moments on your travels or day-to-day. Despite its miniature size, it packs impressive specs. Most notably, its i</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">mpressive image stabaliser, thanks to its built-in 3-axis stabilization and ActiveTrack 3.0 technology which captures clear and focused movements while on-the-go.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>The device shoots in a 4K wide angle in 24fps with a pretty clear built-in microphone. It also features various shooting modes such as, time lapse, slow-mo, and even a story mode that offers video and music templates for short film compositions — simplifying&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: 400;">video production and photography while on-the-go. It firmware technology also allows for users to seamlessly switch&nbsp;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">from video to photo mode with a simple click of a button, perfect for those who love collecting snapshots of their travels and experiences.</span></p>
<p><b>The Cons:&nbsp;</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although the device offers a myriad of shooting modes to choose from, its quality and functionality can be limited depending on which mode you’re in. For example, active tracker and face tracking isn’t available in 4K mode and the ability to zoom in on slow-mo mode is absent.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><b>The Verdict:&nbsp;</b>There’s not a lot to complain about with the DJI Osmos Pocket 2, but if there are any drawbacks to this is, it would be that it does not compare to the image and video quality you would get from a DSLR, which isn’t surprising given the size of this pocket camera. Although there could be some improvements on consistency of quality throughout the different shooting modes, overall it is a great pocket-size camera to take on travels for day-to-day journaling, vlogging and easy editing.&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>The Specs:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Never miss a shot because its 360 lens captures EVERYTHING, allowing for efficient, effortless, and stress-free video editing. It shoots in an impressive 5.7K quality in 24fps in a more dynamic range of colour profiles and modes, such as stable cam, 150-degrees wide angle, selfie mode, stable cam mode and of course 360-degree mode.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s small enough to fit in your pocket, and holds comfortably in the hand, and with instant connectivity to your smartphone and a dedicated editing app, sharing memorable adventures and amazing video content with friends and family is made even easier. Did we mention that this camera is also IPX 8 waterproof up to 8 meters underwater without a case?</span></p>
<p><b>The Cons</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: The only drawback is that its firmware can be a little laggy when switching from one mode to the other, and has been criticised for occasionally freezing in between modes. And although the battery life is a vast improvement from its predecessor it still only captures about 60 to 80 minutes of high resolution video. For this we suggest to pack&nbsp;extra batteries.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><strong>The Verdict:</strong>​ Nonetheless, the strengths definitely outweigh the drawbacks with this pocket-size camera. Making this a versatile action camera that boasts the unique feature of a 360-angle for an immersive throwback of every moment.</p>
<h3><b>Best for Beginners:&nbsp;<em><strong>Akaso Brave 7 LE</strong></em></b></h3>
<p><figure id="attachment_66504" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-66504" style="width: 700px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-66504" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-akaso-brave-7-3.png" alt="eight Best pocket cameras to take on your travels gafencu gadget review akaso brave 7 (3)" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-akaso-brave-7-3.png 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-akaso-brave-7-3-200x133.png 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-akaso-brave-7-3-600x399.png 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-akaso-brave-7-3-421x280.png 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-akaso-brave-7-3-120x80.png 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-akaso-brave-7-3-500x333.png 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-akaso-brave-7-3-400x266.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-66504" class="wp-caption-text">(Photo: Akaso Brave 7 LE, courtesy of Akaso)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p><b>The Specs: </b>The Specs: The Akaso Brave 7 is the brand&#8217;s most expensive model to date, but still it is one of the most affordable action cameras on the market that will still offer decent quality videos and photos. It shoots 4K videos in 30fps and 20MP photos. With a 6-Axis Image Stabiliser, its video quality isn&#8217;t the best on the market right now but it does score points above brands like GoPro and DJI in areas like battery life and convenience.</p>
<p>It is IPX 7 waterproof without a case, and can dive 1 meter underwater (farther with a waterproof case) and has the feature of switch shooting modes while underwater with its touch-screen dual screen, which most action cameras don&#8217;t. With this device you can also choose to shoot in time-lapse and slow-mo in 60fps HD mode for all those high impact action moments.</p>
<p><b>The Cons: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">A major drawback to the camera, especially for those who enjoy narrating their day-to-day and travels is that, although it is built in with an internal mic, the audio clarity and quality is not comparable to that of GoPros or Camcorders, and it does not support external mic.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><b>The Verdict:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Overall, the Akaso Brave performs well and comes complete with several accessories and mounts upon purchase, which makes it much more affordable than that of GoPro and DJI models, although it is the brand’s most expensive model to date. It will serve well for beginners and those who prefer convenience.</span></p>
<h3><b>Best for Photos:&nbsp;<em><strong>Ricoh GR IIIx</strong></em></b></h3>
<p><figure id="attachment_66506" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-66506" style="width: 700px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-66506" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-ricoh-gr-iiix-2.png" alt="eight Best pocket cameras to take on your travels gafencu gadget review ricoh gr iiix (2)" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-ricoh-gr-iiix-2.png 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-ricoh-gr-iiix-2-200x133.png 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-ricoh-gr-iiix-2-600x399.png 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-ricoh-gr-iiix-2-421x280.png 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-ricoh-gr-iiix-2-120x80.png 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-ricoh-gr-iiix-2-500x333.png 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/eight-Best-pocket-cameras-to-take-on-your-travels-gafencu-gadget-review-ricoh-gr-iiix-2-400x266.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-66506" class="wp-caption-text">(Photo: Ricoh GR IIIx, courtesy of Ricoh)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p><strong>The Specs:</strong> For a compact substitute for a DSLR, Ricoh has put out a pocket-siz camera that makes one-handed shooting comfortable and effortles. It shoots 24.4MP through an APS-C sensor and 40mm high-resolution GR fixed lens.</p>
<p>It fits comfortably in the pocket and scores high for its portability, convenience and quality that serves street photographers and photography enthusiast a golden balance between high resolution cameras and mobile phones. Those who enjoy everyday photo journaling will find themselves reaching for this gadget more often their smartphone.</p>
<p><b>The Cons: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although its 24.4MP and APS-C sensor gives the camera great image quality, the auto-focus for video is not great, especially compared to the other action cameras presented on the list. Aside from that, the shooting modes and settings are pretty basic and the battery capacity doesn’t boast a very long lifespan, but like the Insta360, you can always buy extra rechargeable batteries.</span></p>
<p><b>The Verdict: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although the Ricoh GR IIIx is more limiting than most DSLRs, it is certainly more compact. It also boasts sharp images in high resolution and high contrast in 35mm format, although its auto-focus doesn’t perform well on video, which may be a deal breaker for those on the market for vlogging cameras.</span></p>
