DJI BAN BOMBSHELL | Rick Scott Declares War on Drone Operators-Drone Industry

[@JaydenLawson]

I have no issue with DJI being banned

[@A1SMOOTH]

⁠ First responder drones, used by police, firefighters, and medical teams, provide real-time information and aerial support during emergencies. DJI is currently the primary provider of such advanced technology, offering reliable drones equipped with sensors and thermal imaging. American companies have yet to match this level of capability, making it challenging to find effective alternatives if DJI drones are banned. The politicians don’t know what they are doing or talking about. Everything they do currently is a mess. They don’t listen to experts

[@PowderMill]

They should be working on drone detection and counter-drone tech instead of focusing on a single drone manufacturer. Especially considering the fact that DJI employs geofencing functionality. Our government is more focused on spending huge $$ on archaic military tech and sending hundreds of $ Billions of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine. They aren’t even learning lessons from the Warmongering taking place over here. I just watched a video showing a team of teens building FPV “Kamikaze” drones, hardly DJI products. It’s odd that Republican lawmakers keep saying the most ridiculous things. That’s traditionally the Demoncrat’s job.

[@PowderMill]

If the US government actually cared about improper drone use, they would have implemented a TFR (“temporary flight restriction”) longer than the 2 hour TFR in place for the Pennsylvania site where President Trump was shot. UNLESS…..?? If the US government’s crack security teams, mostly from DHS / HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) / Secret Service / (but who knows who else was “protecting” that day??). would have deployed drone detection gear that day. Unless all of their air assets were too busy protecting Hunter’s Man (& little children) Cave that day..? Oops… Wait a ‘sec..!

Kind of a sidenote, why doesn’t DJI pair up with an American based company they have a great product that could be adapted into American made drones

[@SteelCityDrones]

Interesting idea however the qualification for Blue list drones is that the drone has all american made parts and is completely assembled in the United States. To be NDAA compliant there can't be any CHINA parts. All of DJI's engineering has Chinese parts. For DJI to produce a drone compliant with these requirements they would have to start all new R&D and Manufacturing just for the United States Market. So they would have to develop drones for everybody except the US, and anther set of drones for just the US.

@@SteelCityDrones thanks for the time of the reply. I understand completely your point unfortunately, everything in the US has pot Chinese in it, TVs, refrigerators, TVs that watch you, etc. in the case of this band as we say up north somethingsomething, somebody has a vested interest in an American made drone company, which more than likely has Chinese manufactured parts in it.

The US Government would prefer that drones are not available to the general public. Initially they did not take them seriously, now they do. The conflict in Ukraine has made it clear to them that drones can be easily weaponized. As such, it was always a matter of time until companies like 'Ahhchoo' (see what I did there?) would position themselves to be the ones to get major US contracts. Scummy, but it is what Capitalism is. My company had one of the first dozen or so 333 exemptions. We had contracts with several civil engineering firms and a couple of Federal/State Agencies. Most did not allow us to use DJI on any of their critical infrastructure projects. P.S. The FAA screwed 333 holders over pretty hard. Once Part 107 happened they were are able to go in-house. Add to that the weirdness of constantly changing rules/laws and we chose to walk away rather than putting our commercial pilot licenses at risk. It's a matter of time before part 107 holders also get screwed.

[@SteelCityDrones]

I too received my 333 exemption and got a sports pilots license. After spending $11,000 and 8 months of time they removed the requirement with Part 107. Now you don't even have to take a pilots skilled test.

Yes you can continue flying your DJI Drone, "IF" the ban would go through it "SHOULD" only include language that would ban new drone models that have not been released. This would prevent them from getting a FCC license. The issue becomes if a ban goes through will it prevent current models from being sold and or current parts and accessories for current models. And what happens if a drone crashes and it has Crash protection but it can't get a replacement. Those are the things that are all a gray area that nobody wants to have to think about or address. Because once a drone ban goes into affect its very difficult to get Jack back inside the box.

DJI has a monopoly on the market due to having access to cheaper manufacturing and cheaper specialized electronics. This law would essentially reduce their market reach and allows smaller players to enter the market and catch up. There is also a major security concern of using electronics produced by a potentially hostile nation. There are alternatives to DJI that are nearly as cheap and provide similar capability, so I don't think there will be major degradation for rescue workers.

[@SteelCityDrones]

I agree with you about China having cheaper Manufacturing. The issue is that nobody in the US has the manufacturing in place to fill the gap and the costs will be 2 to 3 times more when they do have something.

@@SteelCityDrones but it is possible. Thousands and thousands of contractors go in/out of bases all the time

@@lanesteele240 it’s possible with any drone but nothing that would give DJI an advantage over another drone.

Political parties don't matter in regards to drones because Congress has both parties that want to eliminate Chinese based drones.

Only in America. Freedom of speech… I don’t need to know understand or have any facts, but I can say whatever dumbshit thing I want and make it legal.

DJI drone ban is important for drone manufacturing in the West and its important for security. US or any other Western country cannot afford to lag behind in drone technology and the only way to get US and Western companies to develop better drones is to give them a bigger market share. With that said, the DJI drone is one of the best on the market and will probably be so for 2-3 years until other companies catch up. but in the long run, it is a good thing. It's not like US can win a drone war against China if they need to buy the parts and technology from China, Russia or Iran. And it's not like companies have a chance to develop better drones if they only have 5% of the market.

Please help do your part and reach out to your local senator and tell him that you strongly oppose this nonsense and how it will negatively affect yourself, the drone industry and the economy.
