Xtra Technology officially announced Xtra Atto on January 29, 2026, unveiling it. The Xtra Atto is a tiny POV camera with magnetic mount/sticking abilities, weighing just 54g and promising hands-free POV shooting in stunning 4K resolution. Following our earlier coverage of the rumours and leaks, where we speculated it might be a rebranded DJI Osmo Nano tailored for the US market, the official reveal confirms its position as a versatile tool for vloggers, adventurers, and everyday creators. With features like built-in stabilisation and extended battery life, the Xtra Atto is set to redefine portable videography.
Design and Build: Compact and Versatile
stands out with its ultra-compact design, making it one of the smallest 4K cameras available. At only 54g, it’s lighter than most smartphones and can be easily mounted on a chest harness, cap, bike, or even a car for seamless hands-free operation. Its waterproof construction ensures it can handle splashes and light rain, ideal for outdoor activities. The camera’s sleek, minimalist aesthetic blends into daily life, allowing creators to capture spontaneous moments without the bulk of traditional action cams.
Key Specifications of the Xtra Atto
Here’s a breakdown of the Xtra Atto’s impressive specs, straight from the official announcement:
Sensor: 1/1.3-inch sensor for high-quality imaging in various lighting conditions.
Video Resolution: Up to 4K at 60fps, ensuring smooth, professional-grade footage.
Battery Life: Up to 220 minutes of maximum recording time, perfect for extended shoots.
Pre-Recording: Capture up to 5 minutes of footage before hitting record, so you never miss a moment.
Stabilization: Built-in stabilization for shake-free videos during movement.
Storage: 128GB internal storage with 600MB/s fast transfer speeds for quick file offloading.
Weight and Dimensions: 54g, ultra-portable design.
These specs position the Xtra Atto as a direct competitor to compact cameras like the DJI Osmo Nano, but with enhancements focused on the US creator market.
Standout Features for Content Creators
Beyond the raw specs, the Xtra Atto packs features tailored for vlogging and action content:
Wearable POV Shooting: Mount it anywhere for immersive first-person perspectives, ideal for BTS footage, tutorials, or adventure vlogs.
High-Speed Data Transfer: 600MB/s speeds mean you can transfer large 4K files in seconds, streamlining your workflow.
Extended Battery: The 220-minute runtime outlasts many competitors, reducing the need for frequent recharges.
Waterproof and Durable: Ready for real-world use, whether you’re hiking, cycling, or filming in unpredictable weather.
Xtra Technology, a US-registered startup with a background in imaging innovations, emphasizes creator-focused tools. The Atto joins their lineup including the Xtra Muse and Sphra360, continuing their push for accessible high-tech gear.
Price and Availability
The Xtra Atto is priced at $299, a significant discount from its regular $449 price tag (saving $150). It’s available now for purchase directly from the Xtra official store and select retailers like Amazon. Early adopters can grab it while the introductory offer lasts, making it an affordable entry into premium wearable cameras.
Final Thoughts
The Xtra Atto isn’t a new breed of camera; we have already seen many POV cameras, like the Insta360 GO series and the recently announced DJI Nano. The Xtra Atto is said to have the same core specs as the DJI Nano—or, to be more precise, it’s a clone of the DJI Nano. But why? Since we all know that DJI is facing a ban and is under the FCC Covered List. Once a company is on the FCC Covered List, it cannot register any new products, and because those products will not receive FCC clearance, DJI will not be able to announce new products in the USA. To solve all those issues, the DJI clone Xtra is now there in the USA, and since Xtra is new, not on the Covered List, neither is Xtra making or announcing any drones, so most probably the company is not again going to fall under the FCC Covered List radar. So it’s pretty safe for the future, and DJI now can now re-announce and remain active in the USA by announcing new cameras and gimbals in the name of the Xtra brand.

DJI finally revealed the DJI RS 5 Gimbal on January 29, 2026, the new generation of Gimbal, the RS 5 does arrive with a lot of meaningful upgrades, which include faster and more accurate tracking, extended battery life, improved charging time and overall fine-tuning in handling almost all the features of the gimbal, so for a solo content creator that’s an excellent option available as a gimbal or as a personal cinematography assistant, it works as both flawlessly.
We already know that the DJI RS 4 was ultra popular among photographers and content creators, even though wedding cinematographers’ first choice for the RS 4, and now we have the RS 5, so obviously, the features and the price point are going to attract new-age photographers, as well as those who are looking for an additional backup or upgrades. Take a look at the set of features we have in the new DJI RS 5 gimbal.
Key New Features of DJI RS 5
RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module The tracking module is included in the Combo, but with the help of the tracking module, you can track any moving subject in front of your camera, in an approx. 10 m range, and that includes fast-moving subjects as well as human body and faces, so that’s one of the best things that we have seen in the new RS 5 that it quickly locks and tracks seamlessly. Any subject when the AI tracking mode is enabled.
5th-Generation Stabilization Algorithm: Yes, the new RS5 is loaded with 5th generation of Stabilisation Algorithm, also we have now 50% higher peak motor torque for superior stability during fast movements (running, walking, low/high angles) and dramatically improved vertical shooting performance without extra accessories.
Electronic Briefcase Handle (Combo only): Enables intuitive one-handed control with joystick and buttons for creative high/low-angle shots while reducing wrist fatigue.
Fine-Tuning Knobs with Teflon™ Coating: Precise, smooth balancing on all axes – especially helpful for heavier mirrorless + lens combinations.
Faster Charging & Extended Battery Life: Full charge in just 1 hour (60% faster than RS 4) with 65W PD charger. Standard BG33 grip delivers ~14 hours runtime (15% more than RS 4). Optional BG70 High-Capacity Grip extends to an incredible 30 hours.
On-Screen Z-Axis Indicator: Real-time feedback to adjust your walking gait and minimize vertical bounce.
Expanded Bluetooth Support: Now includes Panasonic and Fujifilm cameras (in addition to Sony, Canon, Nikon) for wireless shutter/zoom control.
Other Workflow Improvements: 2nd-Gen Automated Axis Locks, 3rd-Gen Native Vertical Shooting, dual-layered quick-release plates (Arca-Swiss + Manfrotto), and full compatibility with DJI Focus Pro and SDR Transmission ecosystem.
DJI RS 5 Specifications
Weight: 1.46 kg (including battery grip and quick-release plates)
Payload Capacity: 3 kg (6.6 lbs) – supports mainstream mirrorless setups (e.g., Sony a7 series, Canon R5 II, Nikon Z6/Z7, Panasonic S5 II, Fujifilm X-T5 with 24-70mm f/2.8 lenses)

Compatibility: Full Ronin ecosystem + expanded Bluetooth camera control
DJI RS 5 Price and Availability
The DJI RS 5 is available now from the official DJI Store and authorized retailers.
Available at Amazon.com and B&H Store for Pre-order / Buy
DJI Care Refresh plans are available for accidental damage coverage.
Should You Upgrade from RS 4?
If you already on a DGIRS 4 for Gimble, then for sure
If you own an RS 4, the upgrades are evolutionary rather than revolutionary – but the enhanced tracking module, dramatically better battery/charging, and refined balancing make the RS 5 a compelling choice for solo operators who shoot long days or need reliable subject tracking without a dedicated assistant.
The DJI RS 5 continues to solidify DJI’s dominance in the professional gimbal market, delivering pro-level performance in a lightweight, user-friendly package.

Thursday, 29 January 2026 – Thenewcamera.com Exclusive Report: The DJI Osmo 360 II (also known as the next-generation DJI Osmo 360 or Osmo 360 2) is the upcoming successor to DJI’s first dedicated 360-degree action camera. Our team members here at thenewcamera.com spotted the DJI OSMO 360 II listing at FCCID. Registration was completed on December 9, 2025. Thats really exciting news for sure, and we are not only going to cover the FCC details of the upcoming camera, but also the expected price and the possible arrival time of the camera, so let’s type into the details
FCC ID Registration Details and Certification Status
So let’s start digging into the details. We have leaked the FCC documents for the Osmo 360 II camera. Keep in mind, the details we are talking about are coming from highly reliable sources.
And a good thing is the camera doesn’t fall under the FCC Covered List since the registration was done on December 9, 2025, so the Osmo 360 II has a clear way and obviously it will soon become available in the United States of America as DJI does the official announcement.
Key Certification Documents:
FCC Covered List Declaration Letter (Dated: December 9, 2025) – Declares the device is not on the FCC Covered List, confirming it is not prohibited equipment under section 2.903 and is fully eligible for authorization.

Expected Arrival / Release Date
With testing completed in November 2025 and final documents issued in early December 2025, the DJI Osmo 360 II is expected to launch in Q2 2026 (likely March–May 2026). DJI typically announces new Osmo models 1–3 months after final FCC grants. This would position it as a mid-2026 refresh following the original Osmo 360’s July 2025 debut.
DJI Omso 360 II Pricing
Based on the original DJI Osmo 360 (Standard Combo $479.99–$499, Adventure Combo ~$599), the DJI Osmo 360 II is he expected to have the pricing somewhere between $499–$549 USD for the base kit,

Xtra ATTO, which is about to arrive on January 29, 2026. Why are we so confident about this announcement? Because we have been getting Xtra ATTO information for the past one month continuously, and we have already broken the news that the Xtra brand is now preparing to introduce an ATTO-kind of branded DJI Nano-style camera, specifically useful for content creators — those who love to create content with extra-small, lightweight gear, specifically for creating POV shorts.
Previously, we covered the Xtra ATTO leak shared recently. The brand posted a teaser image to create hype for the new camera announcement, as usual. We already have intel coming next. Now let’s explore the camera, but even before that, have a look at the teaser.
What the Xtra Atto Camera Teaser Tells Us
The teaser, posted on YouTube (external link: view the full post), showcases a silhouetted device with the tagline “Wearable & Waterproof” and the date “January 29, 2026.” The accompanying description emphasizes its resilience: “Rain, sweat, or splash—bring it on. 💧 We built a camera that goes where your phone can’t. Durable enough for the elements, light enough to wear all day.”
Key highlights from the teaser:
Rugged Build for Adventures: Yes, this small, tiny camera is a weather-resistant camera. So yes, you can wear it in all conditions without any worry, and with magnetic detachable attachment clips on the camera. You can easily hang the camera anywhere on a metallic surface, which is made up of steel.
Wearable Portability: The ultra-lightweight camera has already created a lot of buzz even before the announcement. If you are reading our website, now it’s time for its official announcement. The Xtra ATTO camera is going to create a revolution in POV videography.
Hashtags Hint at Use Cases: Obviously, these hashtags unfold a lot of things about the upcoming camera, which are more than enough to give us a clear hint of what’s coming next — #XtraNewCamera, #WearableCamera, #VlogCamera, #ContentCreatorGear, #POVCamera, #Waterproof, and #AdventureReady suggest it’s targeted at creators seeking smart gadgets for on-the-go filming.
This positions the Xtra Atto as a game-changer in the wearable camera market, competing with devices like GoPro but with a focus on seamless integration and portability.
Is the Xtra Atto a Rebranded DJI Osmo Nano? Connections and Speculations
DJI is facing many issues in the United States of America, specifically related to drones. They are now under FCC-related coverage and scrutiny, so not only are they affected, but many other DJI products are also impacted in some way. DJI is unable to register new products easily in the US, and after December 22, 2025, it has become much harder for DJI to continue even its camera lineup in the United States of America.
The best part is, we now have Xtra moving forward with new products. The Xtra ATTO camera appears to be a strategic rebrand of the DJI Osmo Nano, an ultra-portable gimbal camera. This move by Xtra Technology, which is now a US-based startup brand, could bypass DJI’s import tariffs and restrictions in the American market, ensuring availability without disruptions.
Why the rebrand makes sense:
DJI has faced increasing scrutiny in the US, including potential bans on certain products. Rebranding under Xtra allows the tech to reach consumers seamlessly.
Shared DNA: Leaks indicate the Xtra Atto mirrors the DJI Osmo Nano’s compact form factor, making it a natural fit for this “new standard in rugged portability.”
If confirmed, this DJI Osmo Nano rebrand could bring premium features to a broader audience at an accessible price point. While the teaser keeps things mysterious, combining it with leaked details paints a promising picture. Here’s what we anticipate based on reliable sources:
Xtra ATTO Specification
Ultracompact, Wearable Action Camera
Modular 2-Piece Design
1/1.3″ Sensor Captures up to 4K60 Video
Remote Control with Vision Dock
13.5-Stop Dynamic Range, 143° FOV
Camera Waterproof down to 32.8′
200-Minute Battery Life, Fast Charging
Dual-Sided Magnetic Mounting Design
These specs make the Xtra Atto a top contender for vloggers and adventure enthusiasts seeking a reliable waterproof camera.
Xtra Atto Camera Price and Release Date
Pricing remains unconfirmed, but leaks suggest the Xtra Atto will be budget-friendly, ranging from $199 to $349 – aligning with Xtra’s affordable strategy. This positions it as an entry-level option in the wearable camera segment, undercutting premium rivals.
Availability: Announcement on Jan 29, Shipping Starts from Mid of Feb 2026 – sales through xtra-us.com, Amazon. The January 29 announcement should reveal exact details, including pre-order options.
Xtra ATTO is going to be one of the best and finest POV cameras ever made…Other than that, we already have competitors from Insta360 and DJI Nano itself, but even more than that, this will help DJI to continue its camera lineup in the United States of America. The Xtra Atto camera teaser has us buzzing with excitement for the January 29, 2026 reveal. As a wearable waterproof camera potentially rebranded from the DJI Osmo Nano, it promises to deliver pro-level features in a portable package. Stay tuned to The New Camera for live updates post-announcement – we’ll break down every detail as it drops.

The digital camera market grew by approximately 114.8% in 2025, and you’re not going to believe the figures: a total of 72.6% of units sold were fixed-lens cameras. That means we are talking about compact cameras, which accounted for more than 70% of total sales in 2025. So the data is obviously surprising us. The sales data that we are getting from BCN+R’s market-wide data and CAPA CAMERA WEB’s Yodobashi retailer rankings of Japan reveal how affordable models like Kodak cover approximately 25% of the total compact camera market sales with their different sets of models available at variable budgets.
Again, you will be surprised to know that the best-selling compact camera of 2025 is the Fuji X100VI (and not a budget camera), and in the second position, we have the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS. Now this camera is nearly out of production, and very few copies are available. Most of them are renewed or after-sales units, but despite that, it is still the second most popular camera in the market.It is available at a bit higher cost, but yes, people are still buying it. Now it time to explore the entire list
BCN+R Market Trends: Compacts Dominate with 70%+ Share, Kodak Takes the Lead
The overall digital camera market grew 114.8% year-over-year in 2025, fueled by integrated lens cameras surging 127.4%. These compacts claimed 72.6% of units sold, dwarfing mirrorless (26.5%) and SLRs (0.9%), which declined 93.5% and 45.6%, respectively.
Top Performers by Share: Kodak led with 24.0% (up 144.6%), thanks to easy-to-use budget models. Fujifilm followed at 13.9%, driven by the Instax mini EVO (60% of their sales). Kenko Tokina hit 13.3% with the KC-AF11 series.
Key Insight: This unit-based data highlights low-cost appeal, but average prices stayed modest, raising questions about profitability amid the compact camera boom.
Yodobashi’s Top 20 Best-Selling Compacts: Premium Models Shine Despite Shortages
Now it’s time to explore the best-selling compact cameras, and the list really impressed me since the number 1, 2, and 3 cameras are not budget cameras out there. So the entire market selection is shifting from value-based compacts to premium compact cameras. Obviously, the Fujifilm X100VI is always facing supply chain issues, and we all know that most of the time the camera remains out of stock. But again, due to its popularity and despite all these issues, the camera is able to maintain the number one position in the best-selling compact camera list.
Canon SX740 HS camera
Just after that, we have the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS, then we have the Panasonic LUMIX TZ99, and then the Ricoh GR IV camera. Even in the fifth position, we have the Fujifilm X Half. I’m taking all these names to make sure that none of the cameras are budget ones. You can explore the table below. Data from Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2025, reveals:

Challenges: Half the top 10 were discontinued, with rankings influenced by backorder shipments. Models like X100VI and GR IV were out of stock but still topped due to demand.
The compact camera sales worldwide 2021-2025
Now, the list above we have discussed is Japan-specific, but after digging out the latest details of compact camera sales worldwide and with the help of CIPA data and statistics available on their website, we have found that the compact camera boom is not limited to Japan only. Its Worldwide, we are looking at a major comeback of compact camera sales with major brands like Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Panasonic, Ricoh, and Sony.
Although most of the manufacturers are not even manufacturing many compact cameras right now, and above all they have also discontinued a lot of active compact camera models they had in the past, despite all these hurdles and supply chain issues, even with the existing compact cameras like the Fujifilm X100VI, the global demand for compacts is rising.
We have also added historical data from 2021 to 2024 by cross-verifying with all the datasets available to us, so let’s have a look at the global compact camera sales trend in the stats below.

Key Notes on Trends (Worldwide):
Total DSC shipments: 2021 (5.35M), 2022 (7.18M), 2023 (7.01M), 2024 (8.49M), 2025 (~8.58M estimated, up 1% YoY but on pace for higher based on strong late-year performance).
Compact growth accelerated in 2025 due to demand for models like the Fujifilm X100VI and budget options, reversing earlier smartphone competition erosion.
Mirrorless remains the leader, with APS-C/smaller sensors making up ~61% of shipments in late 2025.
DSLRs are negligible (~0.6M in 2025, down 27-30% YoY), so mirrorless effectively represents most interchangeable lens growth.
And you will be surprised to know that these stats do not cover action cameras, pocket gimbal cameras, or 360 cameras that are generally being used by moto lovers and travel content creators. In terms of stats, I published an article a while ago that clearly shows that the DJI Pocket 3 gimbal camera covered more than 50% of the Japanese video camera market share.
So I’m just adding an example here that a lot of other compact-style cameras are still left out that could be included in the data, and if included, then for sure the mirrorless camera market share will face a rock-bottom position in the graph. Well, that’s the reality. A lot of tiny compact cameras with high-quality video recording capability are still not counted as in the compact category.

Is the Insta360 Pocket camera coming with a dual-lens setup? Well, that’s a really interesting thing, and yes, we are getting a lot of reports from multiple authentic sources that the first generation of the Insta360 Pocket camera is about to carry a dual-lens system. In this article, we are going to discuss the things that made us believe the news is true. So let’s discuss in detail.
Breaking Down the Insta360 Pocket Camera Leak
Yesterday, a new post from one of the trusted source Igor Bogdanov, where he shared his personal thought: the said image is not of the DJI Pocket Pro. It is Insta360. According to him, the image that is shared by the Reddit user with the caption of DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro is not actually the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro camera. He has shared side-by-side images of the actual DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro and the latest model, which the user is sharing. And yes, you can notice quite a bit of difference between the camera images. Bogdanov’s insights are drawn from reliable industry sources. By providing side-by-side comparisons of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro, he highlights discrepancies that savvy observers might miss at first glance.
Insta360 CEO’s Tease on Weibo Sparks Speculation
And just after that, we have a post from Insta360’s CEO. —Insta360’s CEO, JK, reposted these pics on Weibo and teased, “What if it’s not from DJI?” That got people guessing it might be a new Insta360 Pocket camera. Some folks also think it could bring new Zoom capabilities.
Most importantly, both highly reputable persons of the industry are telling us the same thing, the Dual camera lens-based camera is the Insta360 pocket camera and nots DJI pocket 4 PRO
Confirmation of Dual Lenses for Insta360 Pocket Camera
The Insta360 Pocket camera is coming with dual lenses—a trusted source, Igor Bogdanov, already confirmed it yesterday, and now Insta360’s CEO has confirmed it. Confirmed this by sending us the clear hint via social post on Webio.
Thenewcamera.com Take – And at this moment, I am not able to have a second thought or doubt about that picture. So yes, if it is true, then it is really a very exciting thing for sure that the Pocket camera and its first version from Insta360 is going to have a DUAL camera setup.
That’s a really remarkable thing, and if it arrives under a budget, it is giving us much more than what the Pocket 3 has offered us, and Obviosuly Dual Camera Lens based camera is said to DJI Pocket 4 Pro — which is about to arrive in later part of the year, and may not arrive in USA under DJI branding due to FCC issue, since DJI is now in FCC Covered list. Yes, there may exist some variation in the sensor size and specifications. We are going to elaborate and explore them also, as soon as we get them, but for now, that’s the information we have.
Details on sensor size and full specifications remain under wraps, but variations from the DJI lineup are expected. As more information emerges, we’ll dive deeper into comparisons, including image quality, stabilization, and battery life. For now, the dual-lens reveal positions Insta360 as a strong contender in the pocket camera space.

January 2026 DJI Ban News: Firmware Updates — so there we have another update related to the 2026 DJI ban, and the good thing is that DJI is able to update their drones’ firmware till January 1, 2027, that’s the extension given to DJI for now. It may get extended, may not get extended. That’s a different matter, but initially, all drones were previously announced to be announced before Dec 23 Ban or have the FCC clearance, are eligible to get the Firmware update till Jan 1, 2027.
This extension is especially important if you want to see new features or improvements rolled out to existing drones via firmware. If you feel that the drone that you are flying is well capable and doesn’t need any further firmware support, then why do so, since as a photographer, updating firmware is always a hassle, and apart from all this hassle and mess, if something goes odd, then obviously, DJI Care is absent in the United States of America. Update goes wrong and bricks your drone, recovery can be painful and expensive. You have to restart everything, so you know what I am saying. My advice: only update if you truly need the new features or fixes. Always wait for a stable release
so just use it if you like, and if you feel the announcement firmware is really important and people are using it and none of them are having any issues, then update yours. So never do an early update. Always look for users’ feedback. It’s an iPhone or a camera or a drone, anything.
At TheNewCamera.com, we’ve covered the DJI ban extensively, from its initial proposals to impacts on camera-integrated drones. This article dives deeper into the FCC’s latest decision,
Understanding the FCC’s Waiver on Drone Firmware Updates
The FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) issued a waiver (DA 26-69) to allow these changes specifically for security patches and functionality enhancements. The goal? To “mitigate harm to U.S. consumers” by ensuring drones remain secure and compatible with devices like smartphones running iOS or Android. This applies to all UAS and critical components authorized before the Covered List addition, covering popular models used in photography.
Timeline of FCC Drone Regulations and Updates
Yes, to simplify everything, we have created a table that is going to help you understand how things were working. Obviously, the decision to keep the drone updated is a nice and welcome step.
Date
Key Event
Impact on Drone Users
Dec 22, 2025
Foreign UAS added to Covered List
Potential ban on firmware updates for security and functionality.
Jan 2026
FCC issues waiver (DA 26-69)
Updates allowed until Jan 1, 2027, focusing on vulnerability fixes.
Jan 1, 2027
Waiver expiration
Possible new review processes, like source code submissions, for future updates.
This table distills the regulatory journey into key milestones, emphasizing the temporary nature of the relief.
Effects on DJI Users and Aerial Imaging Professionals
While DJI and only a few others regularly provide firmware updates for their drones, the rule that we are talking about here is implemented for all foreign-made drones, which includes Chinese and other manufacturers. Those who are not present in the Blue UAS List are affected. The Blue UAS List is a list that has already gone through the approval process.
So the list includes some drones from companies like Skydio and a majority of drones being manufactured in the United States of America. The biggest issue is that the drones that have cleared the Blue UAS List are not affordable. They come at a price of $5,000–$7,000, and obviously, they are not consumer drones.
So what we hope and expect is that until 2027 or so, we are going to have some consumer drones in that list at a budgetary level at the very same time, those which have the same good flying experience and camera capability of the ecosystem that we have seen in DJI.
So let’s just hope that other than that, the drones that are already announced by DJI, those that already have the FCC certification, are fully eligible to fly, with no issues over those drones.
Future Outlook: Navigating Drone Regulations in 2027 and Beyond
Looking ahead, the FCC’s waiver buys time but doesn’t resolve underlying issues.
Obviously, the consumers are in trouble, and specifically, the good drone makers are under budget. Those are specifically making a transfer for a consumer under a thousand dollar of $500, really great bill. Since we are providing one of the finest technologies available at GPS price, but if you’re going to buy a Seeker vision, FPV drone, which is able to capture, 4K footage is available at $3399, and the cheapest road we have in the List again. We have run from a parrot in the third budget, drone List TANAFIUSA, and the drone cost $7000. So the list, which is approved by the US administration, contains rooms that are not usable for consumers, obviously, due to the price factor.
Blue UAS Cleared List, 14 appear to be available for consumers to purchase in the USA based on retail availability through public drone shops and manufacturer sites without apparent restrictions to government or enterprise only.
