This was the week the FCC fight stopped being only about DJI. Autel filed a reply that publicly broke ranks, Michigan's 15-bill state-drone-ban package collapsed in committee, and DJI quietly engineered the Air 4 into a sub-250g class that sidesteps the FCC pathway entirely. Six stories — in priority order, with our take on each.

DJI used two weeks to anoint the Pocket 4P as a cinema product at Cannes rather than a consumer product at its own event, absorb a fourth US-block casualty with Osmo Mobile 8P, watch the FCC fight enter its most adversarial phase, and collect NAB hardware that validates the pivot. Here's what happened — in priority order, with our take on each.
