Week in Review–June 8th, 2015
www.dcrainmaker.com/2015/06/week-reviewjune-2015.htmlMonday: GoPro announces new HERO+ LCD camera (oh, and a drone too!)… A few semi-bike related things out there, and even a drone that had a fish-finder built in– but nothing core…
Peloton’s New Spring 2021 Features: Fully detailed and tested
www.dcrainmaker.com/2021/05/pelotons-features-detailed.htmlIt’s not one continuous non-stop route video like a FulGaz/Rouvy/Tacx film, but instead they cut between different cameras, including scenic drone shots, road shots without the instructor, road shots with the instructor talking to the camera, and road shots with the instructor still talking but not to the camera.

Week in Review–May 15th, 2016
www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/05/week-reviewmay-15th.html3) Periscope adds drone streaming: This is most notable because they’re going to allow you to dynamically switch between a drone (DJI Phantom series), and a GoPro (plus a phone camera), thus effectively giving a very determined person the ability to live-stream some sort of (athletic) event very cheaply.

www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/06/week-in-reviewjune-10th-2012.html8) Parrot AR drone (RC helicopter of sorts) tricked out to follow you jogging: I think that the general technology in this segment is about 8-12 months away from us seeing a GoPro like explosion of aerial videos following ourselves doing sports activities (today, there are still videos of people doing sports stuff, but it’s all largely staged in a single location).
