Your DJI Drone Is Now a Paperweight 

My main use was follow me and gps locked flight as I do the action activities and shoot the footage. Sadly I can’t ride mountainboard and bikes while flying fpv. I plan to switch to fpv for all other shots when my budgeting allows. Currently practicing on sims while I build my budget and go through some things. For some people they really needed the dji drone equipment for their jobs. Hobbies. Health restrictions and more. For instance police and fire rescue. Agriculture. Etc But I agree fpv is an amazing options for those who can do it.

​@@spireEngineering6523 Fair enough. I suppose it is really difficult (or extremely expensive) to hire a FPV pilot to always follow you around, haha.

@0Ciju0 don’t get me wrong I have done light riding with flying but yeah real action shots aren’t going to happen 😂. Also hurts those with disabilities who can’t control a no positioning drone. But I do see your point to. But with how much dji has in revenue they could definitely open a secluded US based server

The bill also mentioned that all the existing DJI drones will be grandfathered in. Only new drones will be banned.

@@WetPets-gl2ts ahh okay well it’s sad for the US that they’re doing this and other countries can still enjoy DJI

@@frazer1988 Some countries actually ban all drone use or require permits that are extremely hard to get. Others put a tax on the drone so high that normal people cannot afford one. I wouldn't get hung up on DJI drones, the chip technology ban on DJI and CCP will eventually allow others to catch up.

@@WetPets-gl2ts I’m not hung up lol it doesn’t affect me at all living in the UK 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Thank you very much happy you enjoyed.

The bill also mentioned that all the existing DJI drones will be grandfathered in. Only new drones will be banned.

@@WetPets-gl2ts does that apply for all countries?

@@ethankhouri If the US passes the laws on banning DJI drones, a few other western countries will likely follow. Remember Huawei?

I am not a professional and personally I am keeping all my equipment in hope it gets changed back. As of now if it fully goes through you would have until 2026 before it goes through but I hope it gets somehow overruled. It’s a hard call.

@@spireEngineering6523 Also, wouldn't previously "legacy" devices just be grandfathered in? Usually there is a transition period of a few years, and anything prior to said transition period will be considered legacy and not affected; its all future products, post transition period. I could be very wrong, but in the past that's how even "small arms" were dealt with in the US.

Thank you very much for your input I appreciate when people are happy to share. I would love to hear how you interpret what is going on. As I said and you reiterated this was my opinion and understanding on the situation. I would love to hear your side to this as to improve my understanding if there is something I missed.

The truth is this: DJI is an extremely oppressive software, especially with use of DJI AeroScope. Its becoming a liability at this point- if not for the nation (like they argue), then for the individual. As someone who works in cybersecurity with a passion for FPV drones, DJI is anethsis of secuirty/privacy. The Chinese supported DJI in 2018 through a government fund worth $55.3 billion... The next thing your going to say is "if I am not doing anything illegal, why do we care if the government/foreign governments see what I do"...

I only am concerned in the fact that they may simply update the flight mapping for satellites and craters the us a no fly zone for the dji making them simply not take off. That and the fines if one is caught

@@spireEngineering6523 I don't update until I'm sure there's no downside

@DavidSmith-jj5pr I’m sure there is a way they can still brick them we can only wait and hope they don’t 🤞

@@WetPets-gl2ts but what features will be removed to make them “compliant”

This video was done before it was signed and as of now I have not made an update. At that time it was possible to affect all by fcc ban. I plan to make an update after I read through a lot more info now that we have solid info

Actually, all the current FCC licenses for DJI drones will still be in effect. Only new models will not be able to get FCC license, hence get banned from the US market.

@WetPets-gl2ts so the next argument is if that is the only change how does their argument even make sense as the “dangerous” “threat” will still be in use…(all friendly just curious)

@@spireEngineering6523 The bill mainly targets the commercial drones as well as those for government use. Some local government agencies already banned the use of DJI drones. This will give everyone time to replace the existing DJI drones with other (probably CCP made) drones. The bill is not designed to completely ban all DJI drones in the US, rather slowly phased them out. Also, with the chip technology ban on DJI, it will give others a chance to catch up.

@@WetPets-gl2ts so up to the mavic 3 is safe or only safe until 2026.

its your choice if you buy something from a questionable goverment ... as they own 50% of all chinese based companies ! so they can take any data they want without legal reason ! same with any product you connect with your company computer as example ........... or phone filled with sensors and locators ......... there has been a time that most phones listened to anything said ......... thats why most phones now locked can not respond to commands or you push your power/unlock button !

@jeroenberkenbosch7072 that’s the point tho if you don’t care you should be allowed. It’s not like it really matters if you have a specific device for it and what are they going to do with your location in your own country. Not like they are pulling our countries weak points from civilian or other drone use. Almost anything someone records can already be found on the internet….. including our data.

@@spireEngineering6523 you would be surprised about what you claim there ......... you say they are not ............ but they can actualy ......... same as china is afraid of tesla`s scanning the whole area and find strange places where the goverment is active out of sight ! or "scanning" for comms not legaly for citizens etc. maybe to much james bond movies , but its surprising what others invent to hurt others or steal from others thru technoligy ! and not everyone is fond of drones flying around their "buildings" or private area .. and then you wonder why !

@@jeroenberkenbosch7072 let’s not forget the only government proven to spy on allies is the US.. my government even helped 🫣

you can get a drone really easily, you use this Thing named Money 🤯🤯, then u can get yourself a good drone

buy one loser lol - you probably don't even know what you are doing
