FAA Lifts ICE Drone Ban, GFX100S II Conquers MotoGP, Freefly Joins L-Mount, Insta360 Eyes Micro Four Thirds
Big one today: the FAA has rolled back the no-fly drone zones that were quietly keeping cameras away from ICE operations, and it's a genuine press freedom story that every aerial photographer and documentary shooter should know about. Elsewhere, Freefly joining L-Mount is the kind of quiet industry move that matters more than it sounds — native glass compatibility for cinema drones is a real workflow shift. And Insta360 apparently building a Micro Four Thirds camera is either the most interesting rumour of the month or a very strange pivot, depending on how you feel about MFT.
