The sucess of DJI is not only with cheap price and good quality. It has to do with the DJI open SDK that allows third party to develop various applications that is now widely used in drone surveying, fire fighting, movie making, etc. Probably also in warfare by the US Army.

I seems to me that the DJI problem could be solved by not collecting or transmitting data to third parties. Software fix.

@RickBeacham Ай бұрын

They already did this. DJI could simply keep data in the USA on AWS or Google Compute. The reason they are targeting DJI is that no one can compete with DJI.

@@RickBeachamlazy solution honestly. Ya I wish there were competitors. Someone needs to step TF up instead of using lawfare against them.

@@mmancino1982 Indeed! Competition is key but there are none. AMD vs Intel vs Nvidia vs Snapdragon vs Apple Silicon = better products for consumers. And we have seen AMD and Intel come out with better CPUs and GPUs... Apple silicon is still anti consumer without longevity and product support is short compared to Windows 11 or linux. But consumers have options or will have better options with Arm running on Windows or Raspberry Pi. Having zero competition is really a bad sign. DJI should be worried because competition leads to more innovation. And a bigger user base.

SkyDio head of government policy is the former National Security Advisor to non other than Elise Stefanik. You do the math.

Yup. F*ck us without offering a competitive consumer product. Sounds about right.

I think DJI could open source some of the code and keep their Cloud Solutions on NSA controlled services like Google Cloud or AWS. Its is likely DJI has contracts with Chinese military.

Even if a drone was USA made all the parts would be imported from China with exception of frames.

EXO is a rebranded Hubson drone that is made in China

Ever hear of the Australia company Aeroo pro drone ? Would seem to be a solid drone

Do your homework - the Chinese are all about drones these days and have even recently developed solar powered drones to greatly extend flight times. There is a ton of videos posted over the past 4 years at least showing how China has mastered and weaponized this technology. They can also launch them from various ways to include from ships, planes, helicopters and even from a canister launching system that looks similar to HIMARS where the drone is rapidly ejected like a missile and then the wings quickly fold out once it's airborne. Last I read also, Ukraine is even buying drones from China because of their unmatched military capability. Concerning the recent flood of drones into the U.S., I feel they are undoubtedly and very stealthily being deployed by China and that they will at some point soon carry nuclear payloads and probably at a time when people in the U.S. are beginning to think nothing harmful will come from them, probably about the time the media dies down over it.

I'm still waiting for my Air 3S fly more, i ordered, it's on hold by Customs in Cincinnati OH i sent them my SS card pic front & back as they requested & tax info but they also want Line Item Tarrif info which i don't know what that is, contacted DJI but still no Luck

I ordered direct from Dji and got the air 3s in short order.

That's probably what happened to mine. Ordered it on sale during black Friday and it was "lost". I tried getting Amazon to replace it and they just refunded it instead. Pisses me off

shows how crappy US manufacturing has gotten if they can't make a decent affordable drone without going offshore

@RickBeacham 4 күн бұрын

@@NewCompVisuals manufacturing in the USA can be good. Some FABRICS for instance are still manufactured in the USA also silicon fabrication is way ahead. Thanks to TSCM and other less known companies. Drones on the other hand fit really well into into the Hong Kong regions economy and silicon ecosystem. Where do you think Ukraine buys it drone parts from? Micro controllers and low voltage Arm based silicon are easy to produce in China. They don't need the latest TSMC fabs like GPUs for AI models or LLMs.

they aren't doing consumer drones anymore, just focusing on enterprise. (its not reflected in the video title, but the question from the person who asked was "what's the best consumer drone not made in china"

@apocaly2855 19 күн бұрын

Teal, skydio, bring, exo, andural, and parrot

@DroneLaunchAcademy 19 күн бұрын

Not many of those are in the “consumer” category. Most of those do enterprise (with exception of Exo)

A year or two ago, I watched a video from Ukraine, maybe CNN. This was before Ukraine were making their own and even using them like they are now. The reporter was interviewing this family. The 14-year-old son was out flying his drone he got as a gift and he saw Russian soldiers in his neighborhood and he told his dad and they called and got through to the military and the army showed up and got the Russian squad. After that, China started using GPS on the drones to give Russia the location of the operator and a few civilian drone operators were killed. Then, Ukraine decided to make their own. I don't have a drone yet. Put the brakes on it after watching the interview and I will never own an iPhone. i have really started to dislike intensely the made in China label on everything. It's like they're playing us.

Ukrainians are using DJI drones still.The drones will expose their locations for many country's drone security policies.The commercial drones are not designed for combat use.Ukrainians may download software to avoid exposing their locations.😂
