If their gonna allow TikTok to stay why not DJI?

The federal aviation administration is not a legislative body therefore the FAA can only issue regulations not law..

i had an sd card read error.

Couldn't you produce two more feet with a digital printer ?

I have the Mini 2 ,but this one is going to be mine !

Is this the same state legislature that approved the Chinese to purchase land next to the Minot USAF Base ????

Sorry to hear about this. I hope you can get it reversed.

This fixation on Chinese made drones is ignorant and ridiculous. What about our phones, TV’s, Computers and any other electronic device manufactured in China? Under this “could possibly be used for nefarious reasons” insanity, my toaster could be spying on me.

Got nothing against drones. I jus think you would scare all the deer into the next county,JMHO.

Hi Russ, I think your video should be listen to and considered by our law makers but it feels like we keep begging a bunch of leaders who don't seem to care but to advance there agenda whatever it is to consider the any of the information that is provided to them by you and other drone advocates. I don't think they want to listen or cooperate with the drone community. I hope I am wrong. Thanks and keep up the great work with your videos.

The mavic 2 pro sounds the best in my oppinion but its not it the video

Good informational video. Is there anywhere that the ND government is taking in DJI drones. I have an old Magic Pro that I’d take $1,000 for so it can be part of the $15,000,000, lol

The last few years has proven one thing. The truth does not outweigh perception. The truth is this whole thing is not about safety or security, its about money. Drone manufacturers in the US see that the hobby has grown, but they can't get even a slice of the worldwide pie because of the quality and features of DJI drones. So in their own warped solutions, they figure that by eliminating the competition, they can grab some of that business, so they concoct this fairytale about the Chinese government gathering information thru the drones. Sadly, its working, and killing our hobby.

I started my drone business and encountered a massive communication interference. I change oil.

Good video, you are 6 months behind Florida. FL State agencies sold all of their drones and currently have an issues with filling the void with emergency services.

Very well spoken. 👍🙌

Do yo have a video with using the smart controller?

I LIVE IN NEW JERSEY IT'S OVER THEY BANNED THEM 😢

Hey Russ, as of today have a heard any updates?

2025 mini 3 price check? Got a lone mini 3 for 240 rc 1 $160 and 51 min battery for $60

You all need to prevent this. If you live in that state make lots of noise.

Great vid.

Blow from above😂

While I applaud the effort, facts and logical arguments do not have a good track record these days. The financial argument - why spend 15 million of state funds, when federal funds are on the horizon- was clever, but at the same time you undermined the security argument by pointing to the NDAA language where the security audits already conducted were all but ignored by federal lawmakers.

1/21/25 still can't get my drone ordered from Amazon. Just placed another order through DJI website. Let's see which one shows up first, if at all.

That's like saying you can only utilize American maid microchips, guess what? America stops running but with the laws they're passing, what says they can't do something so radical as that

The fact that they say, our freedom of speech is a security threat, it's no different. Then the security threat against dji

I guess things are about to get next level whacky in the good old US of A. Such a shame really.

If you have drone anxiety, do not fly drones. Do something else, fits better your IQ.

I’m with you. I have been using DJI drones since I started 5 years ago. I can’t start over to claw my way back to where I started. Thanks for your take on a raw deal!

These government agencies are simply thieves. They do this to steal that $15m from the citizens. 😠😠

When will this nonsense stop.

You're wasting your time. Your state politicians are bought off just like the Washington politicians are. This is not about national security, is as you stated, money. But, good luck.

Absolutely outstanding video Russ. Very professionally executed and very well said. If any one of those lawmakers watches this and still passes that bill then it’s obvious that it was done for the wrong reasons.

Mavic3P sounds like $$$$$$

I love it fallow the rules they take ur drone yall have fun in trump country

This is a great video Russ. Thanks for your continued effective advocacy.

Very clear, informative and well said; it's hard to belive what some so-called wayward polititicians are saying these days to act, tough, as they put on a facade of strength or aggression to appear as good Americans, when in fact they are acting shamefully and against the First Amendment and other American Principles. - { Keep up the good .....................

US government don't want good competitors, knowing cannot compete price vs. technology with China.

I purchased the course from UAV Coach during black Friday for $107... just passed the test today with 100% and applied for my part107 cert... thanks for the recommendation!

Gimbal pointed down slows the drone down to make sure you get a good view of what you’re looking at it automatically shuts off when it feels wind.

Michigan is banning them also

This is the Skydio enrichment bill.

Hello neighbor. Hopefully Montana doesn’t follow suit. Great informative video hopefully it gets through to them

Bills like this are very likely due to someone getting their wallet stuffed. Getting my popcorn to watch the ongoing shitshow of our political system today 😢

Possibly 😂

That was great Russ! You encapsulated the whole situation perfectly! Truly mind boggling if that bill isn't amended.

New sub, Thank you for this video, it is very well done. 👍.
