DJI cleared in independent audit, Capture One reportedly up for sale, $324K shoot breakdown
From the Editor
Two business stories are pulling focus today: DJI got an independent security audit that clears them on US concerns, which is meaningful news for any drone operator who's been sitting on purchasing decisions. Meanwhile Capture One's owner is apparently shopping the company around for auction — a week after announcing a 6% price hike, that combination is worth watching. Cinema glass is also moving fast, with four brands dropping or teasing cine lenses in the same window.
