How realistic is this though?

I thought most people slap a GoPro on their drone (admittedly know very little about the hobby) and how would China secretly be transmitting so much data (4k video) without anyone noticing?

Plus if they want surveillance video, they can just have someone fly their own drone here and capture exactly what they want without having to wade through tons of junk that isn't important to them.

I never spoke about realism, I just countered the comment saying that all they filmed was sailing boats in SF, by remonding them that even innocent looking footage can be used by foreign intelligence.

I even specifically noted that I don't think they are sending the video footage from a drone back to DJI, I say that purely thinking about the ammount of data needed to be sent.

It would have been discovered very quickly if that was the case
