Original source appears to be unrelated to DJI and just a fairly ugly FLIR/Visible due camera hack for a M2 enterprise.

With that dome its head, it looks like a Mavic with a top hat. ?

The aerodynamics will suffer

The hat contains the RTK equipment I believe. The same hat is seen on Phantom 4 RTK

You can get the Advanced version without the RTK "hat" (RTK allows PRECICE GPS location) and still have the other "Enterprise" features... such as the new thermal imaging camera, which is what I am interested in

Change to the CoG from the "hat" is going to be interesting. Did they add ballast at the back or just allow the motors to work harder to constantly try to balance it?

My guess is the front motors just work harder, I would think adding weight would be a manufacturers sin?!

Maybe, but extra weight can sometimes use less extra power than motors constantly adjusting for an out-of-whack CoG

2 cameras and a tall hat all on the nose is doing to have a fair shift forward.
