DJIDJI Osmo Pocket 4P
The Osmo Pocket 4P is the latest 3-axis handheld gimbal from DJI, and it’s their first with a dual-lens camera system. The primary wide-angle lens features a 1-inch CMOS sensor (20mm equivalent format and f/2.0 aperture), achieving 17 stops of dynamic range and supporting video up to 4K/240 fps. The second is a 60mm med-tele lens (f/1.8 aperture) that supports 3× optical zoom and up to 12× zoom. Designed for vloggers and content creators, DJI claims the gimbal can “effortlessly achieve cinematic visual effects, from wide-angle cityscapes to delicate portraits.” Unfortunately, like many of DJI’s new releases, it’s not available in the US.

Mercedes-Benz revealed it’s all-new, next-generation entry-level crossover, the 2028 GLA Class. Entering its third generation, the new GLA is now available in both electric and internal combustion-powered form. Similar to its CLA sibling, the all-electric GLA boasts up to 408 miles of driving range with 800-volt architecture, which means it can be recharged with up to 168 miles in just 10 minutes. The GLA Electric will come in two forms, the 268-horsepower GLA 250+ and the 349-hp 350 4MATIC. Meanwhile, the internal combustion-powered GLA will arrive with a gas-electric hybrid powertrain, complete with a 1.5-liter turbo-four and an electrically-assisted eight-speed dual-clutch automatic. With its small battery, the GLA hybrid can roll in all-electric mode at speeds of up to 60 mph.

Yet these new MTB kicks are as modern as they come, boasting total waterproof construction, a breathable textile and suede upper, a rugged power shank, a grippy gum rubber outsole and of course their most quietly technical trait: recessed 2-bolt SPD compatibility for maximum pedaling efficiency. In addition to black, it’s available in white, navy and army green.
