GoPro is not advancing their drone line?

They are, their drones aren't falling out of the sky anymore (mostly because no one is flying them, but still :P).

But whYME's point is the main one.

I just realized their Hero6 Black is out. Doesn't seem to be offering much over the Hero5 Black. Am I missing something?

Some better 4k, GPS, other little things. Still nothing to convince me to upgrade my H4.

What interests me is their new 360° camera, can't wait to try it out.

Seems like some wifi, some "advanced" video stabilization, (if that means anything...  ::) ), while I see that the Hero5 has some things that the 6 doesn't have.

The fusion?

DJI is becoming more and more like the KGB ::):


https://www.dpreview.com/news/5371525485/dji-aeroscope-tech-shares-your-drone-s-id-and-location-with-law-enforcement
I read the article and many comments and agree in big part that the area of drone flying will inevitably become 'regulated' in some way or another. Once I started flying, I realized quickly how much trouble this can cause (not by me of course  ;) )

For DJI, this is likely a business response to threats of regulation. Much like their 'privacy mode' release in response to the military banning all DJI devices.

Comment of the day:

Quote
Drones are internet forums brought into the real world.

100,000,000 well behaved users doesn't matter, because all it takes is 2 pinheads hiding behind the cloak of anonymity to ruin everything.

And there will always be at least 2 pinheads.

Any idea if buying a drone from Costco falls under the 90 day return policy like computers or is it open return policy if it has problems?

Sick!!!

At about 1:00 you see the conductor closing the window of his cabin. Looks like he's afraid the drone may fly into the train!  :D

Thanks for sharing!

Not sure what to make of this. It's either fantasy or seriously insane.
