There’s something about Takashi Murakami’s art that feels like a shot of pure happiness.

Those smiling flowers — bright and a little mischievous — have appeared everywhere, from gallery walls to fashion collabs. And now, they’re blooming once again through CASETiFY’s latest collection.

Called FLOWERS BLOOM, this third chapter of the ongoing TAKASHI MURAKAMI x CASETiFY collaboration brings the artist’s most recognizable motif into a fresh lineup of tech accessories and travel gear.

The collection includes the FLOWERS Ripple Phone Case, which arrives through a surprise blind box (yes, you’ll have to unbox it to see which design you get).

It also comes with the FLOWERS Carry-On Suitcase that takes CASETiFY’s signature ripple texture and turns it into a piece of art.

There’s also a rainbow camera ring, gold-accented cases, and collectible charms and danglers that look as cheerful as they sound.

Murakami’s FLOWERS motif has long represented his “Superflat” style, melding traditional Japanese art with pop culture in a way that feels both nostalgic and new.

For collectors, the blind box adds a sense of thrill, with ultra-rare designs like the shimmering FLOWERS 18K Gold Case waiting to be discovered.

Meanwhile, the carry-on luggage and wireless chargers make the motif part of your daily rhythm.

The new lineup feels like a love letter to Murakami’s world, a reminder that joy can be part of your everyday life. It’s bright, bold, and unapologetically happy. And in a world that often feels gray, these blooms are exactly what we need.

Price, availability

I’ve never been the kind of person who stays still for long.

My calendar looks more like a puzzle than a plan. Airports, races, trails, test drives, repeat.

Somewhere between boarding gates and finish lines, I try to squeeze in meetings, shoots, and the occasional night out.

For years, I’ve carried cameras that promised to keep up. They all said the same thing: lightweight, smart.

Yet they always ended up feeling like one more thing to hold. They’re more of a reminder that I was documenting life instead of living it.

Then the DJI Osmo Nano arrived, right before a flight to Hong Kong. I slipped it into my backpack without much thought.

Somewhere between the terminals of Hong Kong, the beaches of Shenzhen, the streets of Zhengzhou, and the mountain roads of Baguio, this tiny camera became part of my everyday life.

Hanging from a lanyard or docked on a dashboard, it was always ready. It’s strange how something so small can change the way you move through the world.

I stopped worrying about framing the perfect shot and started focusing on feeling the moment.

Made for people on the move

At 52 grams, the Osmo Nano is incredibly light yet feels substantial. It’s the kind of confidence that comes from precision engineering.

The matte finish resists fingerprints and the occasional drop of sweat. Simply put, it’s designed for motion.

Then there’s the protective case. If there were an award for most underrated accessory, this would win it.

I accidentally dropped the Nano from a floor up and braced for heartbreak, but when I picked it up, both the body and the lens were flawless.

With or without a case, it also looks elegant. It doesn’t scream “camera.” You can clip it on your shirt or cap, and no one gives you a second look.

You can film without disrupting the mood, which gives the footage a sense of authenticity that’s hard to replicate.

A full system in your pocket

The Osmo Nano alone is impressive, but pair it with the Multifunctional Vision Dock and it becomes a complete ecosystem.

I brought it everywhere. In Shenzhen, it sat on the sand while I ran barefoot by the water. In Zhengzhou, it helped me capture temples and tourist sites that looked almost cinematic.

The dock acts like your all-in-one creative base: a power bank, tripod, remote control, and transfer hub built into one piece of aluminum.

It charges the camera to 80% in just 20 minutes, records for up to 200 minutes, and transfers data up to 600MB/s through its microSD slot.

It even doubles as a display for previewing or reviewing clips, which is a rare convenience in a setup this small.

Together, the Nano and the dock feel like the definition of portable professionalism: a setup that fits in your pocket yet never feels like a compromise. It’s everything you need, minus the baggage.

The creative hub

What ties it all together is the DJI Mimo app. It’s the command center that turns the Osmo Nano into an extension of your creative workflow.

Footage syncs automatically, though I wish it keeps the connection longer, as the device kept disconnecting from the app time and time again.

Through the app, you can trim, color-grade, and export straight from your phone. Whether at an airport lounge, a café, or even the backseat of a car, editing feels effortless as long as you don’t use the One-Tap Edit feature.

I don’t know how to put it, but using AI to pick the ‘best’ frames doesn’t sit well with me after trying it and seeing its output.

While the frames it picked were ideal, composition-wise, it doesn’t have the emotions needed when producing a video.

@gadgetmatch We’ve taken the DJI Osmo Nano in the wild and here are our sample clips. Full review on gadgetmatch.com 🫶🏼 #DJIOsmoNano #DJI #foryou ♬ som original – 𒆜|𝑹𝑵𝑩𝑨𝑺𝑺444🇧🇷-_-

Nevertheless, I particularly love how it adapts to my workflow. Syncing large files and previewing high-res clips happens with minimal lag.

For creators who thrive on momentum, that speed is priceless.

Race tracks and road trips

I’ve always believed that motion tells better stories than stillness, that the way a car turns a corner says as much as the driver’s expression.

When I tested cars at the BYD Zhengzhou All-Terrain Circuit, the Osmo Nano was mounted on the Dual-Direction Magnetic Ball-Joint Adapter Mount.

Through rough corners and high-speed bursts, the videos stayed unshaken thanks to RockSteady 3.0 and HorizonBalancing.

The footage looked like something out of a commercial. The 143° ultra-wide lens captured more story.

The only drawback was how the Nano tended to overheat during off-road and race track sessions, even after a firmware update.

Even when we were indoors at the BYD Di-Space Museum — a controlled, air-conditioned environment — I had to limit recordings to 2.7K or 1080p instead of 4K to keep recording.

Later, I brought it to Baguio City, driving through pine-covered streets with the Ford Territory Hybrid.

The colors shifted with the light, from deep morning blues to warm golds by afternoon, and the Nano handled it all gracefully. It balanced light and shadow without flattening the details.

In moments where I could lose a shot quickly, I preferred setting color to Auto rather than using D-Log. Though I’m a creative director by profession, I don’t believe in using D-Log unless you can color grade perfectly.

Most creators who insist on it miss the point. It takes away the beauty of capturing things as they are. The Nano’s color quality is good enough to make every frame look polished and accessible.

Never missing a step

Of course, no camera review feels complete until I’ve taken it to the trail.

During BGY BYG’s OCR Simulation at Bridgetowne Obstacle Park, I used the Magnetic Headband and Lanyard, swapping between them as I watched participants go through obstacles.

I wanted to see how the Nano handled rain and movement, and it didn’t just survive. It performed well.

Thanks to the 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor, it captured athletes at dusk with the SuperNight mode assisting in low light. The image quality was good, though not exceptional.

Due to its fixed ultra-wide field of view, versatility remains limited. It doesn’t have a zoom lens, so I had to move closer to the athletes to frame their movements.

Then came the 32km trail run to Sitio Malasya in Rodriguez, Rizal. The terrain was brutal (as usual) and yet the Nano stayed locked in. I held it by hand without the dock, and the footage I captured became one of my favorites.

It’s rare for an action camera to feel emotional, but the Nano somehow made the footage feel alive.

During the run, the audio also impressed me. The built-in microphones captured ambient sound and reduced wind effectively. For those with DJI Mics, pairing is seamless and doesn’t require receivers.

Maybe next time, I can record a Trail Talks podcast so we don’t get bored running longer distances?

At the end of Sitio Malasya is a raging river, where we stopped to eat and rest. When it drizzled mid-run, I kept recording without worry.

The Nano handled rain and splashes without fogging or glitching. I didn’t feel anxious bringing it into the unpredictable courses of my life.

Running back to the jump-off point, I realized the DJI Osmo Nano isn’t just a piece of technology. It’s an adventure companion that understands the tempo of your life.

Unlocking its full potential

Like any performer, the Osmo Nano shines brighter with the right supporting cast.

The ND Filter Set is a must for bright outdoor scenes, adding that polished, cinematic tone. The Magnetic Headband is perfect for hands-free capture during workouts or races.

For flexible angles, the Dual-Direction Magnetic Ball-Joint Adapter Mount is my second favorite.

My personal favorite is the Glass Lens Cover. It’s the reason my lens still looks brand new after that dramatic drop.

Out of the box, though, the DJI Osmo Nano already comes prepared with the camera, Magnetic Lanyard, Multifunctional Vision Dock, Dual-Direction Magnetic Ball-Joint Adapter Mount, Protective Case, Magnetic Hat Clip, and a USB-C 3.1 cable.

It’s a complete kit that gets you shooting right away. And once you see how capable it is, you’ll want to expand your setup anyway.

Is the DJI Osmo Nano your GadgetMatch?

The DJI Osmo Nano represents freedom. It’s made for people who live on the go, who don’t have time for complex setups but still want cinematic results.

I’ve always believed that the best camera is the one that never slows you down, and the Osmo Nano fits that perfectly. For an athlete and storyteller like me, it’s a Super Swipe.

Even if you’re not living life on the move, it’s still a Swipe Right, especially considering how complete the package is for its price: PhP 15,990 for the 64GB model and PhP 18,390 for the 128GB model.

Think of the stories you’ll tell once you bring it on your next trip. This is why it earns the GadgetMatch Seal of Approval.

Of course, it’s not flawless. If you expect the same performance, image quality, or versatility of the Osmo Action 5 Pro, Osmo Pocket 3, or even its competitor, the Insta360 Go, you might need to temper your expectations.

But as a new device, the Osmo Nano is promising. So promising that five automotive journalists I was with in Zhengzhou bought one on the spot after seeing mine in action.

If that’s not convincing enough, I don’t know what is. Because right now, as most people see it, the DJI Osmo Nano deserves a spot in your camera arsenal, and perhaps, a place in the story of your life on the move.

A Minecraft Movie was decidedly not for me. However, there’s no denying how much the movie was so effective for younger fans and gamers who grew up with Minecraft. It’s one of the highest-grossing movies this year. Even if I didn’t personally like it, I still consider it a success for videogame adaptations. Now, recognizing the film’s success, Warner Bros. has signed off on a sequel to Jack Black’s blocky caper, as confirmed by Variety.

It’s a mystery where the sequel will take players. Not to spoil anything, but the original movie did end with virtually loose ends neatly tied into a bow. Then again, Minecraft is an endless well of content. Where one story ends, another can just as easily open up in its place. As a game, it’s a completely open sandbox where nothing is limited.

However, to establish continuity, the sequel is reportedly tapping the talents of director Jared Hess once again. Chris Galleta might also come back to write the screenplay.

Interestingly, Jack Black is not confirmed yet. But given how much of a star he was as Steve, it’s hard to imagine a sequel without his energy, so it’s likely that he’s coming back. On a more positive note, Jason Momoa, who co-starred as Garrett Garrison, is expected to co-produce the sequel.

Warner Bros. has currently scheduled the sequel’s premiere on July 23, 2027.
