From feed back from others it seems like you might have a faulty unit.
Maybe some mechanical failure that means the motor struggles, and thus makes noise, overheats and eats the battery.
I would...

@Hubertus Bigend
You are absolutely right, and that is exactly where rules and regulations comes in handy - without the need of going full communistic - to force companies to make products in ways...

@MK82 what are you trying to argue here? How did a lens get into the discussion about absorbers?

When I got tired off the other end whining, I bought this:

@Mk82 If you really want to split hairs, we ARE "taking light away" if the photons are absorbed in the material, e.g. some black fabric. And thus we are converting the energy of the photons into...

I think a pink bear is much LESS likely to 'pollute' remote cultures, than any ordinary truck load of tourists...

The whole point -as I see it- is that the pink bear is alienated to its...

Ha, I chose double speed... Long intro and annoying soundtrack.

The finalists

weren't interesting, so no surprise the winners aren't...

Frankly no one really...

Your link was real submerging. The video in this post is only dipping the camera under the drone.

The title text "watch an FPV drone fly into the water and reemerge" seems like pure click bait...

Yes we see a drone go into the 'mist' of a waterfall (and that is indeed impressive footage).
But...

@graybalanced

The issue is NOT the fun story. But that Dpreview was so easy to trick to blindly(?) publish ad-material. Following the fun story.

Had the editor taken the core of the press...

@Gannon Burgett
Oh you did not!?! Sorry to hear that, actually, as it is sort of embarrassing that dpreview publish a text like this, without even getting paid...

Perhaps a little rich copy and...

...except dprieview 'forgot' to mark it as "sponsored content".

Some of the text is totally irrelevant for the fun idea, and is pure promotion.

...actually more of the common aspect ratios coincidentally have simple fractions like 1+1/n, that are very close. See https://eskerahn.dk/?p=4586

I wonder why this is not 'common...

(...and 8/7 of the width for 16:9, within about 0.4%)

@allenclark, if dpreview used a new nomenclature completely different from the manufacturer's it would add to and not reduce the confusion for the readers.

Note that they explicitly told that they...

@Richard Butler, a minor addition.
It might be a good idea to avoid the integers for types.
That is call it
Type 1.0 (13.1 x 9.8mm)
"Type 1" will make people expect that there is a "Type 2" etc
And...

....and a fun fact to confuse things further...

For both 4:3 and 3:2 sensors the width+height is actually quite close to the old advertisement length...

(for those with a factor 1/.71, some use...

@Richard Butler, thank Dpreview for a great initiative

It would be great if you in the new convention used a tilde do denote if the dimensions are exact or a lookup by type number. e.g
Type 1...

Not more intuitive, but less likely to give the false assumption that the length given can be found somewhere physical on the sensor in question
