First up, more Mavic 4 leaks!
Rumors include changes in the 3 camera setup, with a 1X f/2.0, 2.5X f/2.0, and a 6X zoom.
The 1X and the 2.5X are rumored to have D-Log while the 6X is not.
Other leaks include images of the upper body plastic, which appears to show either a port on top or possibly a built in light.
We’re slowly getting better and better pictures so we might be getting closer to a release.
Rumored release dates aren’t until April, but we may see a release more quickly.

Next up, The White House had a press conference about the New Jersey Drones this week.
During a press conference, it was stated “After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons,”.
Currently it’s unclear how many of the reported drone sightings were truly drones and how many were airplanes.
Hopefully, this is the end of this saga.

Last up, Colorado Police used a drone to guide a skier to safety.
The skier became lost and had trouble navigating back to the trail head.
Summit County Sheriff’s Office used a drone to maintain line of sight with the skier and assist them with navigating back to the trail head.
This operation saved the backcountry rescue team from deploying, which would have resulted in a multi-hour operations with 4-6 ground team members trekking to the lost person.
Great job Summit County!
