Highly doubt an Avata, as Avatas typically aren't used by FPV pros. Probably a small, custom-built cinewhoop? I'm very curious what camera they might have used as the footage looks too clean to be a GoPro or DJI Air Unit in such low light. I guess they could run it through Topaz, but even then...

I suspect Anker didn't understand the question, assuming that the batteries are charged on their own and not through a hub, perhaps? The power bank will work fine.

Because your post implies, through a very narrow use of the term "li-ion" (you say: "all DJI drones use lithium-ion chemistry batteries") that all of DJI's batteries are Li-Ion batteries. But there is a distinct difference between lithium-ion batteries and lithium-polymer batteries (similar...

Uhhh... that's exactly what I said. What you said is true strictly on a pedantic level. But saying Li-Pos and Li-Ion batteries are the same is like saying toilet paper and copier paper are the same thing because they are both made out of cellulose fibers.

Except on a strictly pedantic level, this is false. DJI uses a mix of LiPo and Li-Ion batteries (the only Li-Ion battery I can think of offhand is the Avata). I mean, techincally LiPos are "lithium ion" batteries in the sense that they use lithium, but they are not the same as Li-Ion batteries.

You can certainly adjust the screen brightness of the controller, but it's just a cheap LCD so it's not exactly a good rendering of the scene compared to a good monitor. I just keep my controller set to max brightness so I can see it in sunlight and then gauge exposure based on the histogram...

The outdoor shots are a recipe for AE to underexpose. At the risk of oversimplifying, the camera wants big areas of white to be gray and prioritizes that over pretty much everything. So the sensor will see white clouds and say "those should be gray so I will compensate for that by lowering the...

Mini 3 doesn't have a variable aperture and the tiny sensor gives an enormous DOF. Not sure what exactly the Mini 3 Pro's hyperfocal distance is, but I would imagine it's about 15 feet out to infinity.

The 1m shot looks a little soft, I suppose, but the other ones look fine from a focus perspective (they are severely underexposed though, which does not help). I don't think you've said, but are you either tapping on the subject to focus or manually focusing, or are you just letting the camera...

The only issue I see is the subject is out of focus? I don't really consider that a quality issue (absent some sort of hardware problem) and seemingly is just user error (no offense). Also you don't say what model you are using or the settings or anything that might diagnose a potential problem...

Transmit what data, exactly? I mean, a typical cell phone transmits much more sensitive personal data and no one (well, hardly anyone) bats an eye about that. And federal, state, and local employees are going to be much less careless about their phones and phones are much more ubiquitous. I just...

Over watch? Might want to lay off the Call of Duty bud. It's celebratory parades and lawful protests in the US not the Battle of Fallujah. KC was a couple of teens getting into a beef and 800 cops on the ground couldn't stop it. How many more tools do the cops need?

Yes I think this is the right way of thinking about it. Not necessarily "this bill will take away your drone," (which so much of the discourse seems to be about, unfortunately) but rather (content warning: politics) "your reps are xenophobic idiots who care less about facts and what their...

I would like someone to please articulate how this bill prevents DJI from selling, or consumers from purchasing drones for private or commercial use. Like legitimately, no snark. Please explain it to me with citations, not just vibes. This is my understanding. The new bill, the Countering CCP...

That's a really good point on the heat. The Minis will overheat just sitting on the ground and the bigger drones have pretty beefy fans, so I think DJI is walking a fine line on heat management already for the consumer drones. It's one thing for a mirrorless camera to overheat and you just can't...
