    I would only buy an Anzu if the US made it impossible for me to get away with flying a DJI Mini X without getting caught. I just think such a bill is absolutely ridiculous and should be actively opposed. I understand the privacy concerns with TikTok, but for recreational civilian pilots, there's no information that can be acquired from their flights that can't be acquired from Google Earth.
    I can understand restricting government use, where drones may be flying in sensitive locations, but we for recreational use, I can't see any security threat posed by that even if the CCp did demand all flight data from DJI. This bill seems more like it's about sending a message to China rather than actually protecting US national security.
    And back to the matter of buying an Anzu drone, first they would have to make a Mini clone. The lack of geofencing is an attractive prospect, although the 50% price increase is not. Why do much more expensive when they never had to pay for any of the R&D or product design? The higher price is also frustrating when I already have a DJI drone that I spent a lot of money on, that the government is apparently trying to prevent me from using. Are they going to be writing checks or giving tax deductions to ask us existing DJI owners? I doubt it.
    Perhaps the US government could create some kind of agreement between DJI and Anzu that would allow Anzu to wipe all the data from a DJI drone and install their own software instead for grandfathered-in drones purchased before the bill was passed. However I'm not sure if that would be sufficient, given the drone would still contain Chinese hardware.
    And what about visitors to the US from other countries? What would happen if they were to fly a DJI drone in the US?
    What about other DJI products, like their wireless microphone systems or action cameras? Would those be banned as well? How would that even be enforced when they don't broadcast an identifying signal?
    This all just seems hyper-reactionary. If this passes in the way that it seems written now, for long before all photography and recording equipment from China is banned?

Would love to see DJI negotiate a path forward - start with divesting cloud and telemetry data storage to a third party company to manage access and ensure the PRC can’t access it. There is a way forward, but buying new drones won’t work for many small businesses.

    We got a chance to catch up with Randall Warnas when he was in Las Vegas recently. He's a great guy. He's really passionate about the drone industry. Since he's teamed up with DJI to produce an officially licensed copy of an already proven good product, we're sure that this will be a huge success. We are looking to incorporate a Raptor into our fleet by the end of this summer. It's a huge relief to know that the entire business won't be destroyed if the Countering CCP Drones Act passes. Hopefully they also produce drones to rival the Mavic 3 Pro and Mini 4 Pro.

Does the Raptor handle as well as the DJI M3E? How does the flight control software compare to DJI Pilot 2? What about compatibility with third-party apps like Drone Deploy, etc?

Would be great to have an app for DJI drones that is independent and without data/ server needs. The orphaned DJI users would pay for such a thing.

    I'm out of the loop, what is the specific reason why DJI is being banned in the US?

    • @DanielCrist
      @DanielCrist Месяц назад +1

      Due to the increasing political tensions between the US and China, many popular Chinese companies are being targeted and scrutinized as potentially being privacy and security risks to the US. The President just signed a bill into law requiring that TikTok either be sold to a US company within a year, otherwise access for US users will be disabled.
      I can understand the concerns over TikTok, because if you actually read the permissions it has and the ToS, things start to look a little creepy. There is evidence that is activated your microphone even while your phone is locked, that it take your eye movement to see where exactly on the screen you're looking, and it has access to look at just about everything on your phone, as well as a great deal of information that is on any network that your phone is connected to. Roof could be a major security concern if a Senator's child has TikTok want they use the same home wifi without any internal network firewalls, then theoretically if the CCP was working with TikTok, they could easily gain access to the Senator's phone and computer and see much of the data on each, and this is all subtly implied in the ToS that users have agreed to by creating a TikTok account.
      Furthermore, a much more direct threat could be something like the CCP using TikTok to influence the opinions of young Americans or even sway elections. Since the proprietary algorithm that determines what videos are down to users is highly guarded secret, the CCP could utilize that to spread propaganda and misinformation to Americans.
      So when the house and Senate move to ban those kinds of companies I can understand the rationale, even if the constitutionality is questionable.
      However with DJI, to me it seems more about sending a message to China and stepping on their toes a little by banking an extremely popular Chinese company. I can't imagine that they could acquire any additional data from the flights of recreational civilian pilots that they can't already acquire from Google maps. I understand banning law enforcement and government use because they might be flying in sensitive locations, but a blanket ban for the whole country seems excessive.
      Anyway, that's the reasoning that they're operating on. DJI will just be one of many Chinese companies eventually banned out of overzealous security concerns, until we finally just end up getting involved in a proxy war with China over Taiwan, just as we're in a proxy war with Russia right now using the Ukraine as the battlefield.
      But hey, the good news is that this probably triggers the start of WW3, with the BRICS Alliance vs the NATO Powers, and then any silly drone laws won't matter anymore and you can fly whatever you want however you want.
      *TL;DR:* increasing political tensions and paranoia with China, leading to privacy and security concerns presented by the widescale presence of certain Chinese companies in the US and the data collection being done by their products or services.

      After moving to ban TikTok in the US, the federal government could target the China-based DJI next. Aa bill advanced by the House of Energy and Commerce Committee last month that could ground DJI’s fleet of drones across the country.
      If passed, the Countering CCP Drones Act would add DJI drones to the FCC’s list of equipment covered by the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019. This bars communications equipment or services that “pose a national security risk” from running on US networks. It also prevents companies from using federal funding to purchase banned equipment. Chinese companies such as Huawei and ZTE are already included on the FCC’s list.

      ​@@dn8598well said! I'd be happy to buy an American drone if it wasn't prohibitively expensive, as refined and as Cutting Edge as DJI products. As it stands us drones can't hold a candle to DJI products, and the fact is the Enterprise products save lives. That's not something that anyone should compromise on.

    Many police and emergency services use DJI drones, and are overwhelmingly against this ban. Right now, there is already a ban on using federal money to buy DJI drones, but since no one (before, anyway) has made anything that works as well, that ban has just introduced extra paperwork.
    Many of the agencies have gotten around some concern by using US-based software, rather than DJI software. That *should* be enough - no data is going back to a China-based company - but the response has been there are concerns with the hardware and firmware.
    One solution might be if this company or another American company could wipe the firmware on current drones, so there is not even a possibility of information being returned to China.

    If American politicians are going to ban CCP drones, then do it for the the right reasons and follow suit with computers, televisions, and everything else with a CCP micro chip. Why ban a product made on foreign soil only to reproduce it by the same company on a different foreign soil and upload a software / firmware on US soil and tell everyone it’s not the same thing. Oh, it’s a U.S. “based” company.
    It’s a great product. Randall Warren is genius in the drone marketing business. This slight of hand back door remanufacturing to bypass a policy is ridiculous.

You know the liability, taxes, lawyers, marketing, all that crap...

    Several commentors are upset that the US version cost more than the Chinese version. How could it not cost more? On top of the cost of producing the drone, they have to pay the license fee to DJI and the expense of developing the software.
    If you want to be mad at somebody don't be mad at DJI or Anzu, be mad at Elise Stefanic and others like her. Be mad at the American companies who have hired lobbyist to push for this legislation and our elected officials who are going along with it.

The only way an American company can compete is to BAN the leading competitor after it's "partnered" with that competitor? Given a choice, NO I Would not switch and may just go back to hand held photography, videography. I have invested too much to have to start over at higher prices because of political BS! Where's my right to choose?

      Anzu Isn't behind the bill's seeking to ban the drones, that would be SKYDIO.
      The drones cost more because it's not possible to produce them cheaper than China does.
      On top of production they have to first send parts to Malaysia, then send the drones to the US, develop the software and..... Pay the licensing fee to DJI.

    This is crazy! This is another way of DJI controlling this drone and how it works. The question is... Does DJI have full control where this drone is built? Does the country where this drone have the same rules for not allowing China's control in production? The answer is NO! So, this is a loop-H that banned products can be produced no in banned countries but they still have 100% full control how things are. Software is a convert it up, any parts of the drone can have hidden malware and no matter what you use it, the malware could do anything when enter the USA ISP. This is how the USA functions today! A bunch of idiots in power.
