1Thought the drone people would like to see this announcement from DJI that I got in the B&H newsletter:

Besides the new models, the Lightbridge 2 sounds pretty awesome:
DJI has also introduced the Lightbridge 2 intelligent transmitter/receiver system for control and video. Lightbridge 2 offers a real-time HD downlink and SDI, HDMI, and USB outputs on the controller for outputting video at up to full-HD (1920 x 1080) resolution at 60p. Footage can be sent to recorders or even encoders for live streaming over the Internet. Total latency has been reduced on the Lightbridge 2 system to as low as 50 milliseconds (depending on conditions), so you can integrate an FPV system with near-instant feedback as you control your UAV. Since Lightbridge 2 supports dual signal transmission, you can monitor an FPV feed and the main camera simultaneously using picture-in-picture. And with a range of up to 1.2 miles in ideal conditions, Lightbridge 2 facilitates clear visual feedback while shooting advanced sweeping shots over longer distances.

Looks awesome! At $4500 and $8000 though, they better be. It's actually quite a reasonable price for someone who needs those capabilities professionally, but wow. Can't wait until some of these capabilities footer down to hobbyist level gear (especially lightbridge).
