DJI drone ban set to go in to effect on December 23

Yeah it's like everything else. Most have this attitude of resignation that they can't change things. Enough of an uproar *can* make a difference (as we saw with the OK bill), but everyone has to have the collective will. So many battles to fight in this field...(sigh).

I'd like someone to ask a lawmaker and the FCC these two questions:

1.) If the audit hasn't happened, how can they know that the drones pose a security risk?

2.) How are drones a bigger security risk than TikTok (who apparently is escaping their ban)?

A lot of this has to do with politics, e.g., the current administration wanting the US to build drones instead of China. (A kind of tariff). It would not surprise me if politicians are doing some insider trading supporting US companies. I think the US also wants a master switch built into every drone so they can be shut down with the flick of a switch, or so the theory goes.

Thanks for the update. I purchased a new DJI Mavic 4-Pro on Sunday and extra parts that should arrive tomorrow. Used DJI drones and parts are about to go through the roof. DJI has already said they will supply updates.

I bought a used Mavic Pro 2 over Black Friday. I wish I had the coin for a brand new Mavic Pro 4 but I don't. Oh well. I'm sure there will be a black market. There's always a black market for everything that gets banned lol.
 
Yeah I almost bought a 4 pro this week, but I don’t have the budget currently. I think this will probably be resolved within a few months if the community can muster the motivation.
