That flight data does not include imagery. It’s altitude, battery charge, gps location, things like that. There is zero evidence to support DJI or any drone is sending images or video anywhere. It would need to be connected to the Internet to do that and most people turn that off mobile data if using a phone or tablet then transfer the data to a computer at home. Anything left in the drone or remote isn’t really usable. Very low resolution.

I’ve only been flying drones for few years and it’s a nice way to make extra cash here and there but if you know how to use Google Earth Studio, you can get passable images for remote locations that a realtor can use for their MLS listing. You can do that from the comfort of your home without leaving the recliner. I can always drive to the location to film it with one of my drones if needed later. So far that has not been necessary. Now if I can do that with a publicly available Internet tool, imagine what a fully equipped satellite with a super telephoto lens can do.

I still enjoy flying but I’ve kinda flown all the interesting places in my area so I wait until I’m somewhere else to do things like 360 degree shots which are very cool. Just go straight to whatever elevation then set it up for the pano. Post it on something like https://panoraven.com/en .
