In case you didn't know it and might wonder about your info passing outside your country, DJI is a Chinese company.  Info they have access to apparently includes flight logs, videos, locations, hardware you own, registration, certs that may be required...  So don't fly around or video anything that should be kept from public view

I knew there was a reason I like to build my own.
