There is a chance Skydio may do exactly that. Now it might only be 50 or 75% of the parts are made in the US, and it's assembled in the US, but thats better than the others that are basically near 100% manufactured in china and at best assembled in the US.

Isnt the limitation more to do with the processing power (relatively weak CPU) on the drone than the input quality of the camera?

Not fully sure. The FTC seems to say it's not enough to just import parts from all over the world and just screwdriver them together, and seems that most of the components need to be from the US. It's a big fuzzy but my guess is over 75% from this...

That's the max my drone shows. But I read this: https://autelpilots.com/threads/resolved-fixed-in-latest-firmware-letter-from-evo-support-confirms-10-bit-log-at-4k-12-bit-raw-stills.5946/post-53286

I read somewhere on here that they got a 5.5k @60fps working but dont see that option.

Correct, on my Mac it's showing h264. Is there a way to check the format of a file on the drone itself?

On the Mac it shows H264. Arg. Not sure if it's a Mac issue or a drone issue.

RCEE is this on a PC or a Mac? Thanks!

And when you get info on the files on your computer (do you have a Mac or a PC) you see it says H.265?

To get the "made in USA" designation substantially all the valuable parts need to be made in the USA. Considering the lens costs about 9k, the rest of the drone is minor. So odds are the drone itself is still made in china, but they get to put the made in USA designation because the majority of...

Lol, so only the $10,000 model. Arg, it's shame they try to pawn themselves off that way. Looks like Skydio is the only one to get for mostly US build, it's as good as you can do. Apparently, except for a $10k dual model. What I don't get is they must build the bodies in both places then...

So just got my Evo II pro and the box says made in China. One of the reasons I got this was Autel seemed to assert it‘s made in the USA. What gives? https://www.autelpilot.com/blogs/faq/autel-evo-ii-dual-made-in-usa-frequently-asked-questions it seems skydio also purports to be made in the USA...

so strange. do you do anything special to get the h265 format to work?

Wow really? The latest firmware was supposed to make h.265 the default, but I guess just for 4K, but not for 6k where it’s needed more? Strange.

I've seen there were several H.264 teething issues. Not sure if the 10bit depth recording @ 6k has been solved. Have seen mention that 5.5k video can be done at 60fps but dont see that option (and I have the latest firmware as of today at least). But. Before I get to the above advanced issue...
