Sure. I did read your post, and it says "may include", so I wanted to see for myself what they would ask for.
You're right...... I should have said "will include".

also, passports and bank account numbers are suppose to be semi publicly used documents, they are not meant to be kept secret.
very true, if somebody wanted that info they can get it
That's a little different than voluntarily handing out that kind of extremely sensitive info.
If guys feel uncomfortable about it then please leave them alone.
Telling them that someone can "get it" anyways surely isn't going to change their minds or make them feel any better about it.
(handing out that kind of sensitive info is the dominant reason why there are still "spots available").
I have re-read the info and can not find this video requirement. Where is it?and by the need to record ground-based video for every test flight.

by the way, is the AUTO-FLIGHT BETA test program connected with DJI BETA ? I received in the same time info from both programs, and it seems you cannot use AUTO-FLIGHT BETA without DJI BETA access, as you need to install the latest beta firmware provided by DJI...
that is actually awesome, having a dedicated company working on those features is way better than waiting on dji, also being several of them around will make each product better and thus better customer support.i think dji is using the sdk's to let the work be done for them and that is why they did not do it until now... if you look at the release dates for several sdk third party apps and the firmware etc they are coinsedently close to each other in regard to dji releasing and third party getting done with work dji should / could have done in first place...

The only down side of this is with 3rd party software controlling your AC I can see them and DJI both saying it's not their fault something went wrong.
I'm still not sure I want to let some software have control of my Inspire and letting it do tricks midair and running it into a tree or building. It's one thing to have the flight controller doing the heavy lifting based on it's GPS, Compass, and IMU. It's something else all together to let software from the tablet tell the Inspire to do much much more complex automated tasks.
For example the follow me function. I can see this going wrong in so many ways. Sure, if you're in in completely open area, but I can see people doing this in an area with obstacles and taking out the Inspire with a power line or tree.
you think dji is going to pay your repair if you use their follow me and run it into a building? or do you do a bad waypoint plan and hit a mountain or tower?
No, I'm just saying the whole idea of releasing the control to 3rd parties opens more doors for people to make mistakes.
Take the fact that many people (me included) have posted that they have launched without checking MOD values and then don't understand why the AC seemed to lose control.
Not saying we shouldn't have it. Just that it adds one more thing that people have to understand before they use it.
One thing that would make me feel a lot better is if the AC had a way to avoid objects. I know that is a MUCH MUCH harder thing to do than just say it would be nice.
It's kind of like when I first got my Inspire and thought Wow I can fly this thing with the onboard camera. Yeah, that didn't last too long when I lost video signal several times and lost 100% faith that it would be safe to fly they way. I now only fly 100% line of sight. Too expensive of an AC to get it out of sight and lose it because I lost video signal.
Gopro with head mount?I rarely will have somebody along to film the Inspire in flight. How do you beta testers handle this? You're always accompanied?
