DJI has announced the O3 Air Unit: a small, lightweight, $229 FPV camera and transmission module system for high-performance FPV drones.
The DJI FPV was the first to bring first-person view (FPV) drones to the masses as a great entry-level, all-in-one package. GoPro seems to be targeting more serious drone pilots with the Hero10 Black Bones, its no-compromises 5K FPV camera.

DJI just released a powerful new drone camera, but it's not meant for you or me. No, the Zenmuse Z30—which Sweden probably won't like one bit—is meant for industrial purposes, because it boasts a crazy 30x optical zoom lens that can deliver up to 180x zoom if you add digital zoom.
DJI today announced the Zenmuse Z3, the company's first aerial zoom camera and one that's geared toward still photography.
Most drone cameras are all about giving you crazy aerial perspectives or carrying heavy and expensive camera gimbals, but the Hover Camera is not that kind of drone. Created by Zero Zero Robotics, the little drone cam is more like a tiny hovering friend that'll follow you around taking pictures and video.
Late last month, at a press event in China, Canon showed off a glimpse of the 4K camera it's planning to launch in the near future. At the time the camera was reported to have a 1-inch CMOS sensor, a fixed 10X lens (24-240mm equiv.), built-in W-Fi, and an external viewfinder. We're hearing a few more details about the camera now as Canon gets it ready for an unveiling.
In addition to its main photographer-oriented business, Phase One also develops camera gear under Phase One Industrial, a leading manufacturer of digital medium format cameras for aerial photography.
The latter brand has announced a new camera called the Phase One iXU 180: the world's smallest 80 megapixel medium format camera designed for drones.
