    Drone shot at today!

    This had nothing to do with law enforcement drones. That being said, I'm all for the hammer coming down on the idiots aiming high-powered green lasers into the cockpits of manned aircraft. Not to be confused with homeless people armed with cat toys. Are we back to the OP? It's been 10 days...

    Insta360 Antigravity

    There is nothing new here. Any Avata 360 sold to the US market will be a gray market item, just like the Mini 5 Pro. No warranty, unless you have a friend who would send it back in the country it was intended for. Caveat emptor.

    Amazon to end commingling of inventory effective March 31, 2026

    Amazon is driven by lowering the costs borne by Amazon. The commingling was to save time and expenses for shipping, and it eliminated the need for the seller to attach identifiers to the inventory. It seemed like a good idea, until it wasn't. Amazon didn't intentionally allow counterfeit...

    This is kind of old news, but a month ago, Amazon announced they are ending the practice of commingling inventory, effective as of March 31st, 2026. This means that if you purchase a DJI Mini 5 Pro from one vendor, you will not receive a DJI Mini 5 Pro from another vendor. In the past, Amazon...

    US government abandons plan to blacklist Chinese-made drones

    If you want to skip the tweet from Ice Barbie, the actual press release can be read here. I wonder how much of the $115 million allocated for this will end up at the Strategy Group? It wouldn't be the first time that happened.
