The rhetoric out of the US at China is getting crazy at the moment.
This is not about DJI this is about USA and China.
DJI do not sync logs by its self, this HAS been confirmed by the guys who have hacked DJI Go and the firmware, their exact words were that there is nothing sinister going back by its self other than generic data used for troubleshooting and product improvements, these guys owe DJI nothing and to a point are at war on some things as we have all seen, they would be more than happy to spill the beans if something was happening so people need to get it out of their heads that logs are being send back with all your footage as it’s just not happing, if you do not sync then you are good, turning off Wi-fi is simply not necessary
Now let’s use a little bit of logic here looking at all these reports as it’s crazy, we record all of this lovely footage and data and Store it on large SD cards or SSD drives, so according to these reports we are to believe that as soon as you get home and connect to the Wi-fi that DJI is uploading all of this data with out us knowing, even video cache is Gb of data, this is being instantly transferred as soon as you connect is it ?, I would love to know what compression they are using to do this as it’s so good it’s almost undetectable.
Let’s now look at what really posses a security risk, people filming and uploading to YouTube, this is the true issue not the craft uploading from a state security point of view, flight log data is irrelevant to a point as it has little real benefit with out images unless it’s military ect and again the OG guys have not found this is happening, if a government or anyone wanted to spy on another state what is the easiest way ?
1. sell them drones and try to steal the data or 2.just go one YouTube and search for some footage.
All this talk of DJI steeling you data and your uncle joe’s data is just insanity, there is more tin foil being used to make hats than will cover all the turkey in the land on the 25th with this stuff.
It’s political on every level this, DJI are not perfect and need to sort some of their crap out but that more failure of processes than actual policy to deceive.
