Competing with DJI, this company has built a desktop photography robot

A food creator wants to slowly push the camera from the panoramic view of the dining table to a bowl of noodles. This action is not difficult, but the difficulty is that he does not have a second person to help him push it, and there is no space to set up a slide rail on the table. Finally, he cut a fixed camera position. The picture was clear, but it lacked the sense of breathing. This table is the real scene for many content creations today. Product reviews, food, beauty, live streaming, product delivery, a large number of shootings all take place within a few square meters. In fact, the equipment is not bad: the mobile phone can shoot 4K, the pocket gimbal can stabilize the picture, and the picture quality of the camera has already exceeded the needs of most people. But once the lens needs to "move" and needs to be pushed, pulled, circled, raised and lowered, the set of things in ordinary people's hands cannot be connected. Cameras are good enough, but moving a lens is still a craft that requires years of training. What Yueqian Chuangxin does is to turn it into an action that a machine can perform. The founder, Zeng Cheng, worked on a film crew and studied robot trajectory optimization during his master's degree. The company was established in 2023. It first made large-scale photography robots for film crews. Later, it lost weight along the way and switched its technical route to a five-kilogram desktop product. What supports this switch is the precise understanding of constant loads in dedicated scenarios: the weight of the camera as an end load is constant. After leveling, the gravity is balanced. The motor's job is not to lift the camera, but to move the camera. From this, zero-gravity direct drive technology is derived, which is also the basis for lightweight products. The combination of full freedom and AI director decision-making forms the product path of Yueqian Innovation - the first generation serves professional creators, and the second generation moves towards the consumer level, and may enter the price range of DJI and Shadowstone. The imaging industry is reaching a point where new answers are needed. The ceiling of parameter competition has appeared, and the portable experience has reached its limit. The next stage of competition is no longer about "shooting clearly", but about helping users truly complete the content they want to shoot. A startup company of thirty people

Moody’s And Chainlink Test On-Chain Credit Ratings – Could LINK Benefit?

Chainlink has taken another step toward institutional blockchain adoption after Moody’s Ratings successfully completed a pilot using its cross-chain technology. The development could strengthen Chainlink’s position in the growing tokenized asset market, raising questions about whether increasing institutional demand for blockchain infrastructure could eventually support LINK’s long-term value. Announced on November 10, the collaboration demonstrated […]
