Huh TIL. Usually DJI locks you in pretty hard.
Either way the maviv certainly ain’t working off of analog.

The DJI Digital FPV System can be used with analog image transmission via a third-party receiver, allowing users to switch between AV and digital video transmissions.
All the drone footage I’ve seen has been analog, and I guess it’s possible on the FPV.

I highly doubt the mavics used in Ukraine still run the stock firmware

That takes more than firmware, and I don’t know how much thats worth it compared to just using existing fpv hardware.

That was about the lock in part. Most of the mavic footage I’ve seen seems to be digital at least, though I recall something about them changing the RF frequencies constantly to avoid jamming.

I think DJI might be referring to the recently introduced “race mode”, which reduces bandwidth of their transmitter and allows other pilots (with analog systems) to fly nearby. In regular mode DJI video systems tend to interfere with analog transmissions.
I haven’t heard of any official way to get analog video out of a DJI air unit.

From what I read they actually work with 3rd party analog receivers from the drone itself.

That was a feature where you could attach an analog receiver to their Goggles v2. They have since removed it in newer Goggle versions. Their system is basically a walled garden now.
