Yes, true, even mini drones with +75 deg gimbal pitch should be able to cover zenith if they would add just 1 more image to the set -- 3 zenith images instead of 2.

Full 360 panorama coverage without the zenith hole should finally be possible.

very nice

Quad bayer can have a higher DR because different photosites within a "super pixel" can have different gains - aka on sensor HDR. So even if each physical photosite has only DR of 10-11 ev, the overall DR can be increased.

Stacked and quad bayer are completely different things. My guess is quad bayer yes, so binned resolution will be 25 mpx but not stacked. Interesting who's a sensor manufacturer.

100 mpx = quad bayer. So not necessary the best for stills. most likely the same sensor as is in this weird xaomi gizmo: https://www.wired.com/story/xiaomi-modular-optical-system-mwc-2025/

I'm not sure if "bigger" means larger sensor area (and I also don't know of a sensor that is between MFT and APS-C) or more megapixels. It could have been something lost in the literal translation and leakers are talking about resolution and not sensor area. Anyhow, we will know very soon.

Arguably the old way was better as you could cancel if you timed your moving of controls just right. So you could capture the images but cancel the stitching part. Yes, 70mm - DJI hates that one simple trick.

1. General rule of physics - nothing is free. Stitching takes a LOT of CPU resources and drains the battery 2. You cannot take photos/videos while stitching is in progress.

Unfortunately from what I understand the drones that have built in stitching will stitch and there is no option to turn this off. Yes, waste of time, battery and SD card space for those who don't need it. In the past the stitching could be cancelled when controls were applied after panorama...

interesting thanks for sharing. may wear the stick springs faster though

welcome

my thoughts exactly
