Drone News Update
Drone News: Mavic 4 Release Date, Drone Used for Good, DJI Mini 5 Leak, Drone Smuggling Into Prison

Drone News Update

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have four stories for you this week.First, DJI teases the Mavic 4 Pro, and we have a release date!Second, a heartwarming story out of Michigan where a thermal drone played a key role in saving a 74-year-old woman.Third, we've got more DJI news with a leaked launch window for the Mini 5 Pro.And finally, a drone reportedly crashed while attempting to smuggle contraband into a South Carolina prison.First up this week, DJI is at it again, officially teasing the upcoming Mavic 4 Pro! They dropped a "Spin Your World" teaser and, in a bit of a surprise move for DJI, actually showed the drone itself in the teaser. This is probably because, let's be honest, the leaks have been coming for months now. The official launch is slated for May 13th, so mark your calendars!Next up, we have a fantastic real-world drones-for-good story coming out of Michigan! A 74-year-old woman who experienced a vehicle fire got lost in the woods without her phone last month. She sought shelter under a tree and endured 27 degrees temperatures, along with rain and winds, less than 450 feet from where her vehicle burned. It's unclear when searching began, but the woman was located alive, and too frozen to move, 3 days after going missing by a Mason County Sheriff's thermal drone. Great use of the drone to save a life!And in our third story this week, more news from the DJI rumor mill! It looks like the DJI Mini 5 Pro might be on the horizon, with a potential launch window now pointing towards September 2025. This information comes via trusted X leaker HakaSushi (hah-kah-SOO-shee), who apparently confirmed an earlier rumor from Jasper Ellens at DroneXL. So, while it's still a ways off, the anticipation is definitely building. The Mini series, as you know, has been incredibly popular. This is especially true for those of us who want a capable drone that stays under that 250-gram weight limit, avoiding a lot of registration hassles in many places. Speculation on improvements includes changes to the sensor size, enhanced obstacle avoidance, better wind resistance, or even longer flight times.Let us know in the comments what features YOU'D like to see in a Mini 5 Pro!And finally this week, your “Don't be that guy” segment. Reports indicate that a drone crashed while allegedly attempting to smuggle contraband, specifically methamphetamines, into a prison in South Carolina. Details about the specific type of drone or the quantity of contraband involved haven't been widely released yet, and the investigation is likely ongoing. Unfortunately, this isn't an isolated incident. We've covered stories like this before. Correctional facilities around the world are increasingly battling attempts to use drones to deliver drugs, cell phones, weapons, and other illegal items over prison walls. It's a serious security concern, and it highlights the 'cat and mouse' game being played between those trying to exploit the technology for criminal purposes and the authorities working to stop them. Don't be that guy, and for anyone watching that is thinking about doing this: These facilities have Drone detection systems. They will find you and they will catch you, so just don't. Alright, that's all for this week. We have the live Q and A on Monday and in post-flight on Monday in the premium community, so we'll see you then.

How far are you willing to go to tell a story?  Journalists take life-threatening adventures in search of truth. While some may be killed, arrested or face physical and online abuse in the line of duty, others experience psychological trauma, separating them from family, friends and things they love so much.   In this episode of Borderscapes, Fisayo Soyombo, an award-winning journalist from Nigeria shares his experiences as an undercover reporter. Growing up, all Fisayo wanted to become was a medical doctor, but destiny had a different script. From discovering his love for storytelling as a campus journalist, to going undercover as a smuggler to expose corruption in Nigeria, Fisayo reflects on how hard it is to be an investigative journalist. He also talks about his unending search for true love, a sacrifice he must make for the public good.  Beyond the headlines, some individuals risk it all for you. Join me in understanding why their stories matter.

Democrats' New Border Strategy: Delay Deportations with “Due Process” – New polling reveals voters support mass deportation, but also demand legal fairness. Democrats are seizing that sentiment, working to bog down removals in court, particularly under sympathetic judges. Cartels Shift from Smuggling to Kidnapping – With the border locked down, Mexican cartels are turning to ransoms, targeting tourists and stranded migrants alike. Officials warn Americans: Don't travel to Mexico.

Meanwhile, U.S. reshoring continues as companies like Guardian Bikes ramp up American production. China's Fragile Economy Shows Cracks – Beijing props up markets with cash injections, secretly reroutes goods to skirt U.S. tariffs, and faces a looming plastics industry crisis over U.S. ethane supply cuts.

During their early days, they dosed out on Peyote and reimagined and reconfigured a new FM sound for the ages that would result in unimaginable success and excess. When their debut record was released on Geffen Records in 1972, America couldn't have been more ready for their breezy, countrified Southern California sound. Yet something else came with their that heady, golden age of California in the 1970s, that era of endless cocaine, groupies, money, and excess beyond anyone's wildest dreams. As the Eagles would soon learn, that “peaceful easy feeling” they were peddling wasn't built to last.

Customs says we're getting more bang for our buck with new remote controlled vessels patrolling our sea borders. The boats —Tahi and Rua— were launched yesterday and now help protect our maritime security, including stopping drug smuggling. They'll operate at sea for up to 100 days using solar and wind power, while providing real-time intelligence. A recent Government report shows Customs seized 55 kilograms worth of methamphetamine in 2015, now 90 kilos gets stopped every week. Customs Deputy Chief Executive of Operations Jamie Bamford told Mike Hosking it's a technological milestone in their capability. He says drug cartels are starting to use the ocean to smuggle, and we have the world's 11th longest coastline to monitor. Bamford told Hosking each vessel cost around one million dollars each. He says if you put out a frigate it's a lot more expensive and can't be out there for as long because it takes a crew and fuel. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the fall last year I became aware of the legend of the Leshy of pagan Slavic culture through an excellent YA novel called "Where the Dark Stands Still" by Polish writer A.B. Poranek. When I googled the Leshy I was astounded to see images of what I recognised as the Wendigo. So this got me thinking - is there a Slavic influence at play here too? Perhaps this is something you could look in to!    I am really looking forward to the book and film regarding the Wendigo which I understand may come out next year. I have been fascinated by the Wendigo since reading Algernon Blackwood's novella and there is one passage in particular that always sticks in my mind:   "And soon after he slept, the change of wind he had divined stirred gently the reflection of the stars within the lake. Rising among the far ridges of the country beyond Fifty Island Water, it came from the direction in which he had stared, and it passed over the sleeping camp with a faint and sighing murmur through the tops of the big trees that was almost too delicate to be audible. With it, down the desert paths of night, though too faint, too high even for the Indian's hair-like nerves, there passed a curious, thin odor, strangely disquieting, an odor of something that seemed unfamiliar—utterly unknown."   Christine   (your biggest Scottish fan who lives in Germany

Historians use a lot of different sources when they research the past. Many rely on primary source documents, documents that were written by official government bodies or those written by the people who witnessed the events or changes historians are studying. But how do you uncover the voices and stories of people who didn't know how to write or whose families didn't preserve much of their writing?  Maeve Kane, an Associate Professor of History at the University at Albany and author of Shirts Powdered Red: Gender, Trade, and Exchange Across Three Centuries, ran into this very problem as she sought to recover the lives of Haudenosaunee women.
