TLDR
Examining and analyzing the data extracted from four hobbyist drone models, while comparing the applicability and capability of several commercial and open-source forensics tools indicates that most of the new drone models are relatively difficult to analyze.
Abstract
The widespread use and fast-paced development of drones pose a challenge for law enforcement and other enterprises due to their increased use in digital crimes. To keep up with this development and to effectively extract information required for forensics investigations, examiners need in-depth knowledge of drones, forensics methods, and the capabilities of available tools. In this study, we examine and analyze the data extracted from four hobbyist drone models (DJI Mavic 2 Pro, DJI Mavic Air, DJI Spark, and DJI Phantom 4), while comparing the applicability and capability of several commercial and open-source forensics tools. Our findings indicate that most of the new drone models are relatively difficult to analyze due to the enhanced security of these models. It is imperative to develop novel forensics processes and specialized forensics tools to enhance the forensic analysis of drones.

DROP (DRone Open source Parser) Your Drone: Forensic Analysis of the DJI Phantom III

TL;DR: Results showed that the best mechanism to forensically acquire data from the tested drone is to manually extract the SD card by disassembling the drone, and illustrated that the drone should not be turned on as turning it on changes data on the drone by creating a new DAT file, but may also delete stored data if the drone's internal storage is full.
