Seeing rumours about a tiny whoop now as well

I guess they are trying to cover all size possibilities and sell as many units as possible especially with the press on to have them banned totally from the US.  It seems this initiative just never fully goes away.  
Even tried to hide it as a rider to a recently passed bill.

Did you see the green copy drones are being pushed heavily now in the US with a US company writing the software to drive them from too.

Yes I saw that.  Did you see where the company is being fully investigated as to ownership, investors and the full supply chain.  It seems they are ensuring there are zero Chinese ties involved.

I didnt see that,    It will be interesting to see where that goes.

Hopefully, the politicians don't get started on that company also.

Nice capture. Remember the sun is always shining above the clouds.

Yes,   one of my favourite things is to punch through low cloud to see the sun,   doesnt happen often enough though.

They are really ugly in green.

Seems like a chinese drone with a mask on it

Indeed they are.

Seems like a chinese drone with a mask on it

Most probably why they are being looked into very closely.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-30 13:50

Even thought they are the same shape they seem to lack style.

If they ban DJI we need an alternative. That would be sad.

Very good, excellent.

Yes that sums it up nicely.  But at least the software is all American made.

I agree with you on that for sure.

No doubt a couple of companies of which we will not name would love to see that ban happen so they could have the drone market to themselves.  Sadly, they can't produce the drones at fast enough rate or in the same quality and quantity that would be needed with DJI out of the market.  They are struggling to meet the needs of governmental agencies.  Recreational flyers would be left out of the market entirely.  I'd love to hear what the plan is for current DJI drone owners.  No way would the Feds buy back all DJI drones currently in the US.  They could cancel the FCC certification and basically ground them but that would leave a whole lot of unhappy pilots (voters).

And the reason is they cant compete. Their higher price drones aren't better. The customer service is not great. I wish there was an alternative just to keep things in check. But DJI is by far the best

No argument from me on that.  China's Huawei Technologies was only the first of many Chinese entities to to get looked at and then band.  I'm thinking there are more coming from the Congress.

It seems that way and where there is smoke there is fire.  But when one of the spokesman was stating that our drones could track our heartbeat I got offended at how stupid they think the public is. They're trying to create panic.

If they can create enough panic or mass hysteria then they gain backing for their plans to ban.

That was about as far as you could push it probably, with the (I guess) single DNG file. (no AEB stacking)

That was either an AEB3 or a single JPG shot not raw as the Mini 3 does like to forget the raw setting.

Yup. And I still don't like DNG too much, but I have to give it some more tries before leaving to Sweden.

You surprise me about that,   you prefer high bitrate video with hidden details but not the same from a stills photo?

I don't like the long wait times with DNG while shooting AEB-5 (I still believe I need AEB5, but I wish it was 3 with bigger space between)

I dont think they've improved that either on any of the other drones.

I wonder if they have statistics on which modes are used most or at least some pre conceived ideas.

Me too.  But these days you have to declare and have an opt in/out thing for it.

I think the 'gathering analytics data for improving the software checkbox' was invented for that purpose
