"Are you implying that is sufficient to circumvent RED’s patent? IANAL but I would argue a camera-drone is still a camera." 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.

But you hear it over and over.
