“It’s actually the first Mavic in our line up to offer 4K video at 60 frames per second.  And you’re still able to get 12 megapixel image quality but because of a new high resolution mode through pixel binning you’re actually able to capture 38 megapixels as well.  And on top of all this you’re getting HDR video and HDR panorama.”

And the battery life has been bumped up to 34 minutes of flying time on a charge.  Find more at www.dji.com.

“On the lighter side we’re seeing some fun search trends…around how to cut your own hair, how to make sourdough bread and interestingly enough chicken.  How to raise chickens.  I guess a lot of people have been getting chickens for their egg purposes.  So we’ve seen a lot, a lot of search interest.”

Also lots of interest in home education topics.  For more you can visit www.google.com/trends.
