It won't affect other countries directly, but oftentimes, other countries that are allies with the US will adopt our policies. So the US doing this could lead to other countries doing the same thing.
I mean… I get it… we don’t want the Chinese collecting a database of all of the areas we decide to film…. But… what non foreign company or USA friendly company compares?? Give me something viable and I’ll buy that instead to be a patriot. The other issue is… they make action cameras…. So what do I do about that? I’m in support of BUY AMERICAN but shit… put some factories here and give us some real jobs instead of outsourcing to other countries.
Correct me if i'm wrong but as I understand it, this ban targets all DJI products. So, while you can still use your current drone, what happens when you need spare parts? Batteries that no longer work or you need a spare prop that has snapped? While it's possible 3rd party companies can supply that demand, should those of us who are thinking of plopping down multi-thousand dollars to get into this hobby or consider a side business take that chance? I feel like I'm in a weird limbo waiting to see if this new hobby is a go for me or not.
There is still plenty of time to get into the hobby and buy a few drones that should last you a good long while until American companies can hopefully catch up! Watch out for updates so you know when to buy more because once it is finalized, the only supply will be bought up quickly. But you still have time!
@@TheDroneDad Thanks. Sorry for the newbie question but what is a reasonable life expectancy of a decent drone? We're talking about a mult-thousand dollar investment that may just end up being the last one any of us can buy before the brand goes extinct in the U.S. I would love to see the American drone manufacturers catch up but it doesn't seem they've been putting in the effort until now. And, if the ban goes into effect then what incentive would they have to develop a better product than they've offered so far? Stefanik and company have really hurt drone development competition in the States. Thanks.
@williwaizenegger3853 Well drone life expectancy depends on the pilot. I have a Mavic Mini from 5 years ago that I'm about to do a 5 year review on soon that's still working. If you take care of them, they can last quite a while.
@williwaizenegger3853 Some new models will likely come out as we approach the holiday season. Keep a close look out! My favorite of mine is the Air 2 and it's old enough now that it's dropped in price some.
I am going to get me a new maga. Drone It’s bright red and makes money for free. Maybe I can save for a big plane.. Maybe a gold toilet would be nice. I realize I am a tad off topic. So don’t be harsh on me. Yum Yummy is my friend and he’s a good man He even said I could fly over his country with my new maga red drone I really trust him a lot Bye bye for now and happy flying
Bro drone pilots are content creators, if it flys and you have a use for It it’s for drone pilots. 1. One use have to follow you while you flying a mini 4 pro. Slow driving content if don’t have spotter.
You know I wasn't paying attention because Biden was medically sick and doesn't know what he's saying but also kamala Harris is the biggest joke of all time and yeah I think she's under the influence of alcohol ain't no doubt about it
I didn't think we lived in the communist country DJI has more counter geofencing on it than anybody else's stuff and it's really sad that these congressmen are back in this the band this drone for no reason and my congressman in Montana is a part of this band
@TheDroneDad You title said it stated it in the past tense as if it had already passed and is law. It is still going through Congress and is still only a bill. Thanks, and keep us posted as to its current progress.
If you want to go this route, get HoverAir ProMax like I did, is much better in Specs,feathers and the whole nine yard comes with the one terabyte SD card and a lot more fantastic features , would swallow this and a spit it out💪👍🤙🤟
