Let's hope they don't discover Google Maps.
Or remember that they have billion dollar spy satellites.
This stinks of fake news.
Don't think so, and actually DJI recommends you put the phone in Airplane Mode while flying, so there would be no cellular transmissions.This part I don't get:
"As of May 2017, DJI was attempting to add satellite communications to their UAS so operators were not reliant on cellular towers for the control stations. Satellite communications would allow real-time transmissions of information in rural areas or areas without adequate cellular towers."
Do any DJI products operate using cell signals?
This is the exact type of thing our tax dollars should be monitoring, in addition to whatever North Korea is up to. I'm glad to hear something we have suspected is getting reported widely and it may force DJI to make some changes so it doesn't hurt their revenue stream. They want to put drones in all our hands and also sell our federal government the drone tracking tools to monitor their drones.
That said, the drones are just getting too good and too affordable. They don't seem to be having any problems selling them even if they are using them for espionage.
And it's not just the videos you upload. Once their App is installed on our phones, anything it has access to can in theory be shared/exploited. If you're not aware of how a professional hacking campaign works, it's not a couple guys in their garage trying to download naked photos from your device, it is a team of hundreds who do this daily as their profession. Looking for any cracks that can be exploited, seeds planted, tracks covered, etc. I'd hope that someone is paying attention to it other than our forum banter.
Look at this statement below your satellite GPS telemetry is being used today on the Mavic.
Total Bunk.....
"As of May 2017, DJI was attempting to add satellite communications to their UAS so operators were not reliant on cellular towers for the control stations. Satellite communications would allow real-time transmissions of information in rural areas or areas without adequate cellular towers."
The complete DJI line uses the same OS and same GPS telemetry don't deflect the absurd accusations by ICE.
