I just want to ask in theory... Is this possible to charge drone when flying?
With small powerbank attached to drone or mini solar panel to keep charging a liitle bit
For extra minutes?
I know that you can't charging after flight because battety is hot. But i mean not 2a 5v charger but less..

Hi, thank you for bringing this query to us. We do not recommend using this process of charging the battery of any of DJI Drones since this process might cause some serious problems on the battery cells. For your safety, I will highly recommend you to cool down first the battery before charging it. You may also refer to the battery guidelines link below. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Your inventive imagination is on the wrong track.
No you can't gain an advantage that way.
A solar panel would have to be too buig for the drone to lift to be of any assistance so we don't even need to consider the wind resistance issues.

A small powerbank isn't going to be able to deliver charge as fast as the motors would be using it and the weight penalty would have negative effects on the drone.

Thank you for clear. I thought about something like this

More for keep a little bit longer battery time / not so fast drain/ than charge. Maybe top of the drones body can be solar panel in the future?

Will the digital stabilisation of the insta360go be able to handle the drone movement ?

Don't know. I saw few movies on youtube with Tello / Insta and Insta alone...hope yes. And i can use this cam for walking. Slow cinematic movement of Tello looks ok, looks stable
