Is DJI Done in America?

What's up Dronrs? I had some people asking me about my thoughts about the recent news that DJI has been added to the Commerce Department's Entity List in the USA, which names the company as national security concern and will prevent US companies from providing DJI with parts and components.
Does the ban go farther than this? Will we still be able to use DJI drones? I'm giving a breakdown of the story and my thoughts on it today.

After my first DJI flew away, and DJI admitted it was a software "error", which they did replace the lost drone. I have switched to Autel, just feel more freedom in flying the Autel and feel more confident in flying the Autel vs DJI. Not to say something could not happen to the Autel drone but it seems better for what work I do.

Sad comment that the US government is petty when it comes to national security.

Happy Holidays B

[@glennedwards9046]

You definitely have a lot of good points & information. Thanks

[@johnroos7021]

Is that the same US government that implied that Sadam Hoessein of Irak had weapons of mass destruction?

[@timvirga1770]

Thanks for the information, on your next video can you talk about how the final FAA rules released on 12-28-2020 will effect recreational drones and if DJI Mavic pro 2 meets the new regulations or can be retrofitted to comply with the rules. Also what if any information you have about this online course for recreational drone pilot's will have to take.

This is great news for Sony. Think in your mind of all the companies you know on planet Earth. If there is ONE company that is perfectly suited to be an almost PERFECT enemy to DJI... its Sony. Sony has a huge and VERY sophisticated semi-conductor division and a world class imaging division as well. If Sony takes their new "AirPeak" project very seriously and puts the real weight of the company behind it?....wow...absolute perfect enemy to DJI. Oh.....Japan is a close friend of the US. I think this will be important too.

[@ExploredPerpsective]

I really appreciate your macro perspectives. Thanks for sharing this video. Hopefully there will be more transparency in the near future.

I tried to connect to my mini one day and the GPS showed my position to be in it's manufacturers warehouse. I live in NC.

[@focusonchrist6752]

My guy. I thank you for this one. I'm torn. I wish not to support injustices in any form. How do we fly with a clear conscience? Autel aint made in a pristine nation either. Not cool. Thanks for the all the details conveyed. Didn't DJI get put through a series of testings to be cleared of assumption of any data transmissions afar?

[@joschspike9705]

Autel , Parrot, Skydio , Yuneec , Sony Airpeak Every Drone without this Fuc....ing DJI Registration. DJI is a Nanny Drone and i dont need a Nanny 😂😂😉 Merry Christmas

[@gqp3215]

Well said son, buy mercan

[@bodywise007]

Excellent discussion. I like the way you presented this calmly but raising very controversial points. There is no doubt there is collusion between Chinese major corporations and the Chinese government. Don't you think the same is true in United States? Name me a major American DSLR camera manufacturer. So why is there no "major" American drone manufacturer? Just minor players. Is this a secret tariff war? And to make matters more complicated, the new drone ID system being formulated here in the United States will be just as intrusive -- and punitive. The simple fact is, play by the rules and private drone piloting is severely threatened. That is the bigger picture. VLOS, municipalities, park systems with their own flight and "trespassing" restrictions. Who is going to win in the end? Amazon and UPS. Finally, any government can now use Google Earth to pinpoint any area of concern they want. Only a tiny tiny fraction of secret sites are "redacted."

I don't even have my new drone unboxed, and now I'm seeing this. Heavy sigh. What's a dronie to do? Not sure. To me this is kind of like clean energy. I want to see the world switch to cleaner power supplies, but I still need diesel fuel today to move my bus around. On the other hand, I run my computers of solar power, so that's a bit of progress. Maybe the same thing here. Keep flying, but stay aware of the problems, like China, and work toward getting them fixed.

[@jeffrey8601]

It's a factor of a few event's? G.E. is now playing this game. I smell a grandfather clause somewheres.

[@andrewap77]

The problem is all that money for a drone is going overseas and US companies want those contracts but US drone companies can’t compete. Because thy slow to embrace this technology.

[@pryns]

Whoa I'm still stuck on the prison camps. In regards to private information.... Honestly we can't even trust our own government, however I understand how dangerous this is from an external standpoint. The prison camp thing really has me considering another route though. Maybe competition isn't there because a lot of small entities don't see it as a reality? What would be some good features that us as drone heads would see as valuable enough to at least try so they can get more money to build? Honestly the only things I can think of is modularity for specialized use cases beyond film (i.e. roof inspection, agriculture, etc).

GoPro had a Great Opportunity (which they failed miserably at)..., Despite being made in China

[@frankengels278]

Hey, I have many of DJI drones... I am not living in the US, so no immediate impact for me Some comments on your video: That the US government is not a drone manufactured outside the US sounds logic to me China is a communist country, so yes the government has a hand in all companies, and if the government asks for something they have anyway no choice... Huawei is one of the biggest mobile phone producers and mobile network supplier in the world, and still is even with the US ban. The only thing the US achieved is to delay 5G in the world. Putting DJI on the black list will not make a hudge pressure to CN,. Ok it is good for headlines... Banning or black listing other goods would create much more pressure, but this is not likely to happen as it is needed in the US.
