    What I like from DJIs products is their very wide versatility and attention to detail. Every piece of equipment is so carefully designed to be useful in every way possible due to their very modular design. This monitor can be used with like 99 other DJI products as well and control like 50 different aspects of each of them and so on. Even with their consumer drones they introduce super neiche features like using the charger with 3 batteries at like 30% each to reroute the charge to discharge 2 of them bei 25% each so you get another battery at 80% for another full flight time without needing a 4th battery or a power outlet. How often is someone gonna use this because they really need to and have no alternative? Maybe in 1/1000000 units sold. Maybe less - yet DJI still developed this feature because it may become useful at some point. They did so many firmware updates to the Ronin 4D to really make it a good product. DJI puts a lot of thought and work into their products - there is no way anyone could deny this.

This also highlights that it doesn't necessarily matter where you met the person, it only matters that you found the right person. Life is full of surprises, just when you're about to give up, something catches you off guard. Great title for this short film and the Sony ZV-E1 footage looks amazing 🔥🔥🔥.
