DJI gets around this by moving the recording circuitry outside of the camera. It's in the body of the drone, not in the camera.

- cherioo 4y agoAre you implying that is sufficient to circumvent RED’s patent? IANAL but I would argue a camera-drone is still a camera. Besides that, what you describe sounds like a decision made to reduce weight of the camera module, possibly not related to patent.

Yes, the Inspire 2 does this, and it was widely reported that this is how they dodged the BS patent. The weight distribution may also be another bonus, or vice versa. I actually don't know why there's this perception that the patent only applies to camera-internal compressed raw, because Apple/Atomos have to pay Red royalties but Atomos recorders are obviously external. But you hear it over and over.
