– likely what you see is on purpose so you can’t see the true capabilities

– Aviation and other military hardware take YEARS to develop, test, certify, etc. So they may not always be using the latest/greatest.

– They have to be way more beefy (i.e. reliable, hardened) than say a GoPro to deal with all that goes into a military installation.
