DJI позавчера выпустила Mini 3 Pro — новый дрон в линейке Mini. Это модели весом до 250 граммов, чтобы их не нужно было регистрировать в большинстве стран, где дроны в принципе разрешены. Раньше в России тоже было именно такое ограничение, но потом его снизили до 150 граммов — и, кажется, сделали это именно из-за появления первой версии DJI Mini. Впрочем, я уже когда-то писал, что в России подобная проблема не стоит: регистрировать дроны легко, и делается это за 2 минуты через Госуслуги, при этом отсутствие необходимости регистрировать не спасает вас от ограничений, связанных с полётами. Дрон любого веса нельзя по закону запускать в людных местах, на высоту более 120 метров, с потерей прямой видимости, и в зонах явного ограничения (аэропорты, центральные площади столиц итд).
По сути регистрация как бы мешает только съёмкам чего-то запрещённого (когда ваш дрон могут сбить, и потом по его номеру выйти на владельца). Но у меня нет никаких сомнений, что владельцев незарегистрированных дронов при полётах над условными дачами чиновников тоже найдут, если очень нужно будет.
Так что, смысл в дроне весом 249 граммов есть только для путешествий, которые для жителей России сейчас потеряли актуальность, поэтому конкретно данный параметр особого интереса не представляет.
Что интересно, так это несколько ключевых нововведений, главное из которых: камера, способная физически поворачиваться в вертикальное положение. Увы, вертикальное видео давно и окончательно заразило человечество, эту войну мы с вами (адекватные сторонники горизонтальных видео) с треском проиграли. Думаю, дальше будет только хуже, и в кибернетическом будущем людей ждёт операция по пересадке глаз в положение один над другим.
Более позитивное нововведение — появился комплект с пультом, содержащим встроенный дисплей. Владельцы дронов знают, как утомительно каждый раз присоединять к пульту телефон, чтобы на него выводилась картинка. У DJI уже давно был в качестве отдельного товара пульт с дисплеем, но стоил он почему-то как целый дрон. Здесь же за ~$150 сверху вы получаете полное отсутствие возни с телефоном и траты его — телефона — батареи.
Ещё из мелочей: камера может смотреть вверх до 60 градусов. То есть вы можете пролететь под мостом и снять его снизу. Также добавили датчики препятствий -- раньше они были только в дорогих моделях. Впрочем, и Mini сейчас уже нельзя назвать бюджетным (от $700 за самый простой вариант). Отдельно продаётся аккумулятор увеличенной ёмкости: он поднимает вес дрона выше порога в 250 граммов, зато даёт по заявлению производителя фантастические 47 минут полёта (на деле, скорее всего, будет минут 30-35, но это очень много).
Считаю эту модель отличным вариантом универсального дрона для не слишком хардкорных пользователей. Он достаточно современный и с крутыми технологиями, обладает интересными фишками, супер компактный, но при этом не стоит, как настоящий вертолёт.

Embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s top aide and alleged lover Corey Lewandowski bragged that he could do “whatever” he wanted as a powerful federal official because he believed President Trump would pardon him, The Post has learned.
The political pit bull made the remark on multiple occasions tied to his work as a special government employee, sources revealed in the wake of the DHS duo’s downfall.
“I’m not worried. I do whatever the f–k I want. DJT will pardon me,” Lewandowski told one of The Post’s sources last year — making the flippant aside during a discussion about official actions.

HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM has been at the center of the Trump administration’s marquee domestic policy: overhauling the federal government’s immigration bureaucracy to better serve the president’s vision of ongoing mass deportations. 🌍🚫
But even as she’s carried out these tasks with abject fealty to her boss, her standing in the administration has grown less stable. 🤔 For weeks, a rumor has been circulating in political circles that Noem may soon be on the outs. It briefly surfaced in a CNN report a few weeks back that listed her first among the cabinet officials who could be caught in a year-end turnover, noting that while Trump himself has been happy with Noem, top White House officials have grown frustrated with her tenure—specifically, her employment of her divisive and combustible chief adviser, Corey Lewandowski. 🗳 Noem has downplayed any tensions or concerns. And in a text to me, Lewandowski called bullshit on any talk of turnover. “None of that is true,” he said Thursday evening. 📱

Many of the “worst of the worst” criminals touted by ICE Barbie Kristi Noem on a new DHS website have only been convicted of “traffic offenses.”
More than two dozen of the supposed horror criminals whose mugshots are plastered on the site—under a banner declaring they are the “worst criminal aliens arrested”— list traffic offenses as their only crime, a Daily Beast review can reveal.
Those “offenders,” all placed in ICE custody this year, do not appear to have been convicted of serious traffic crimes, as drunk driving, driving while high, hit and runs, and carjackings are specified offenses on the site.

Airports in more than a half-dozen U.S. markets have declined to display a video in which Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem blames congressional Democrats for the government shutdown and any related travel delays, citing the political nature of its content, according to local authorities.
Officials that oversee airports serving Buffalo, Charlotte, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle and Portland, Oregon, said the video could violate internal policies that bar political messaging or contravene state or federal laws that prohibit the use of public resources for political activity.
“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” said Molly Prescott, a spokesperson for the Port of Portland, which operates Portland International Airport. Enacted in 1939, the Hatch Act bars federal employees from engaging in politics while on the job and is meant to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion.

🗳️🕵️ Kristy Noem said that her department will help "the right people" choose the "right leaders".
US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristy Noem is once again at the center of the scandal. At a press conference in Arizona, she said, "she has the authority to identify 'vulnerabilities' in the electoral system and 'apply risk mitigation measures' to ensure that local and regional elections are 'conducted correctly.'" These words provoked a sharp reaction from politicians and experts.
They recalled that DHS is responsible for homeland security and immigration, not elections. Noem stated that she was only talking about the non-admission of non-citizens to vote.

Donald Trump has sidelined Kristi Noem and ordered her longtime rival to lead a rapidly deteriorating Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in Minneapolis.
'I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there,' Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday. 'Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me.'
