    Are Chinese drones now exempt from tariffs?

    Depressing. Now why if you buy in Europe or Asia and bring it back with you on a trip? You use it so it wouldn't be brand new. But would customs impose tariffs? YOu'd probably have to declare it because BP and ICE are looking for any reasons to subject you to searches, like your devices --...

    RIP Mavic 4 Pro

    Phones benefit American companies, Apple and Google. TVs I guess benefit Koreans and Japanese companies. DJI made in China? Seems pretty unlikely. Who needs a DJI ban bill, which I think passed the House but not the Senate. The president can just impose triple-digit tariffs and kill it.

    Mini 2 (France '22 Part 4) Verdon - 4K

    My mistake, some limited zones, 50 meters instead of 120 meters. But I think Geoportail doesn't necessarily account for national parks, which I thought Gorge du Verdon was.

    Flying in canada

    If you can't fly in the cities or in the national parks, which seem vast, a huge portion of the country, are there enough places worth flying?

    Iceland Flying Experience

    Ooh, may finally have to go and take it off my bucket list.

    Mini 2 (France '22 Part 4) Verdon - 4K

    I'd have love to have flown my drone in many of these areas in the video but IIRC, most of them are prohibited, especially over the lake and the river which feeds the lake because you have a lot of people on kayaks below. There's also some lookouts over very high cliffs, looks spectacular, the...

    Air 3s Night panorama with Air 3s

    You didn't stitch in Lightroom? What about did you use the Free Pano mode in the Air 3S? Are the individual shots from the wide or the tele camera? Which resolution for each individual shot, 12 Mp or 50 Mp? I didn't know about the Adaptive profile. Maybe it's part of their AI feature set...

    Air 3s Night panorama with Air 3s

    Which ISO did you end up using? Did you use the Free Pano mode or shoot manually? Did you use the main or tele camera? Did you use it at 12 Mp or 50 Mp (Quad Bayer) for each shot?

    Iguazu Falls

    Are you visiting from the Brazil or the Argentine side? Even if you could get close, the water mist may be a threat to your drone? Even cameras too from the pedestrian lookouts?

    Decisions decisions.

    Or wait for the Mini 5 Pro?

    France is so restrictive :(

    You can't fly in most urban areas and national parks. But I've flown near some smaller towns or villages in France. I don't think they prioritize drones, at least no signs of it. Once had cops on bikes come up to me when I was flying my drone in Menton, over the water, not over people. They...

    C labels coming to the UK in 2026

    If only by some big surprise the Mavic 4 comes in as C1. Not bloody likely though ...

    C labels coming to the UK in 2026

    But it sounds like DJI are now etching the symbols showing the class onto the aircraft, at least the newer models like the Air 3 and 3S? Maybe Mini 4 Pro and Mavic 3 Pro still need a sticker affixed?

    Air 3S photo quality analysis with comps M2Pro and iPhone 15Pro

    Yeah I've tried manual panos too but I like how the automated panos are put into their own folders. The main issue now is whether panos shot in 12 Mp mode on the Air3S -- assuming the Free Pano mode allows it -- are good enough in image quality compared to shooting panos with the 20 Mp camera...

    Air 3S photo quality analysis with comps M2Pro and iPhone 15Pro

    I'm familiar with those, though I'd never tried them. But DJI is using DNG, which I thought was Adobe's format so it's using Adobe Camera Raw processor?
