DJI’s New Ronin SC Gimbal Is Much Easier To Carry


DJI has launched a new gimbal for mirrorless cameras. The Ronin SC is much easier to carry since it’s 41 percent lighter than its predecessor, the Ronin S. It’s a single-handed 3 axis gimbal that weighs only 2.4 pounds so it will be much easier to carry it around with your for shoots and stuff.

The weight loss compared to the Ronin S has been possible because the company used a combination of magnesium, aluminum, steel, and composite plastic to create a more lightweight gimbal which is easier to disassemble and fit inside a bag.

It simply takes the powerful technology from its predecessor and packs it inside a lighter and smaller form factor. “Now users can pair their mirrorless system with a stabilizer that is easier to transport, easier to set up, easier to use yet still equipped with high-performance features and technology,” says DJI Senior Product Manager Paul Pan.

There are some limitations, though. While the Ronin S could carry an 8 pound payload with a 12 hour battery life, the Ronin SC can carry up to 4.4 pounds with an 11 hour battery life. There are some new design features, though, which include improved balancing capability and position lock system. Two new modes are also offered via the app which aren’t available for the predecessor.

DJI is now selling the Ronin SC through its website and retailers. The price starts at $439.

Sprint Says Subscriber Information Was Accessed By Hackers Through A Samsung Website


Sprint has informed its subscribers about a security breach which has resulted in private information such as phone numbers, billing addresses, and more being compromised. This was due to a vulnerability present in a Samsung website, according to Sprint, which advertised an “add a line” feature for active Sprint subscribers.

The carrier has sent a letter to affected customers, saying that it was informed of unauthorized access to their accounts on June 22nd. The account credentials were apparently used through a Samsung website.

“The personal information of yours that may have been viewed includes the following: phone number, device type, device ID, monthly recurring charges, subscriber ID, account number, account creation date, upgrade eligibility, first and last name, billing address and add-on services,” it said in the letter. Sprint says that the information which was leaked doesn’t post a “substantial risk of fraud or identity theft.”

It adds that all compromised accounts have been re-secured by resetting PIN codes three days later. What it hasn’t said is just how many accounts were compromised as a result of this vulnerability. Sprint is yet to provide additional details about this entire episode while Samsung is yet to comment on the matter as well.

McDonald’s Picks DoorDash As Its Second Delivery Partner


It was reported earlier this year that McDonald’s was thinking about ending its exclusive delivery deal with Uber Eats. The two companies had reportedly been negotiating on fees with the fast food giant looking to bring costs paid to the ride-share company down. The negotiations were also aimed at enabling franchisees to use delivery partners other than Uber Eats. There’s development on this front now as McDonald’s has confirmed that DoorDash is now its McDelivery partner in the United States.

DoorDash will start deliveries for McDonald’s first in Houston, Texas from July 29th. The food food giant will also be a part of DashPass which is the delivery service’s subscription program. With DashPass, members can get unlimited $0 delivery fees as long as their order is $12 or more to select merchants.

The two companies have integrated their systems so DoorDash orders are sent directly to McDonald’s point-of-sale system which ensures a smooth experience for both customers and franchisees.

This obviously doesn’t mean that McDelivery is dropping Uber Eats as a delivery partner with which it first linked up back in 2017. That partnership has made McDelivery available at more than 9,000 restaurants in the United States, more than half of all McDonald’s locations in the country.
