Drone rules, cinema gear, and a B.C. privacy ruling
Policy and hardware in parallel
From the Editor
Today's edition spans regulatory and legal fronts — the NPPA pushing back on FAA drone restrictions and a B.C. tribunal setting a precedent on non-consensual footage — alongside a busy stretch of cinema and camera news including the Sony FX5, ARRI's rental sell-off, and Hasselblad's Android app debut. There's also a Leica M11 Monochrom review, Russia's first domestic anamorphic cinema prototypes, and documentary work from Summit Photo 2026.
