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

Double Eleven is the time to replace your phone: Huawei Mate X7 purchase gift, lowering the threshold for folding flagship replacement

Double Eleven is coming to an end, and the mobile phone market replacement craze continues to rise. Many old Huawei users are faced with the decision of upgrading to a new one: Although the Huawei candy bar machine in their hands can be used normally, the battery already needs to be charged twice a day, night scene shots are often blurry, and multiple applications are occasionally stuck when switching simultaneously. If you upgrade to a new candy bar flagship, you will only get a small improvement in image and performance. There will be almost no difference in daily use, and the novelty will be gone in three days. If you want to achieve a significant improvement in experience, the foldable screen is a good choice. Its unique large-screen interactive form has advantages that candy bar models cannot match. However, concerns such as the price threshold of 10,000 yuan and subsequent maintenance costs still make many users hesitant. Among the best-selling folding flagships currently on the market, Huawei Mate X7 is worthy of serious consideration: it not only brings a use experience that is unmatched by candy bar models in daily high-frequency scenarios such as photography, office work, and audio and video, but also relies on the ultra-reliable folding Xuanwu architecture to comprehensively improve the durability and protection capabilities of the entire machine and calmly resolve potential risks in daily use of folding screens. Coupled with the timely purchase gifts launched by Huawei, the entry threshold for this 10,000-yuan large foldable phone has become lower than ever. Whether the foldable screen can truly integrate into daily life, the thin and light body is an unavoidable prerequisite. Relying on a lightweight body design, Huawei Mate X7 has a folding thickness of 9.5mm and weighs only 235g. Its feel and portability are almost the same as those of candy bar flagships. The 6.49-inch external screen can easily handle daily operations such as sending and receiving messages, making and receiving calls, and video navigation. The 8-inch internal screen has a wide field of view after unfolding. When watching TV dramas, the screen fills the field of view and the black borders narrow. When playing games, the field of view on both sides is wider. When working in a split-screen office, multiple windows side by side do not look cramped. When closed, it is a handy candy bar machine, and when unfolded, it is a portable tablet. It combines portability and practicality with large-screen productivity when folded and folded. The differentiated experience brought by this dual form is the core value that distinguishes foldable screens from candy bar flagships. Tool
