Even DJI stuff that poses no risk whatsoever to health or safety, like their Osmo Pocket 4k gimbal camera, or their Osmo Action gopro-clone, require that you “activate” them, iPhone style, which logs at the very least your OS + IP (and thus rough location) + serial number to DJI.
It’s bullshit. These are not internet-attached devices, they shouldn’t be spying on us. I’d love to see similar approaches to even domestically-made and domestically-hosted manufacturers and collection APIs.
