I want American companies to succeed because they have superior products and value. So it's kind of sweet to see Skydio get a taste of their own medicine.
I've been buying DJI Drones like crazy this year. I already owned the Mini 3 Pro, Mini 4 Pro, AIR 2S, & FPV Drone. But this year I've bought the AIR 3, Avata 2, NEO, Mavic 3 Pro, & I just ordered the AIR 3S. Im not getting caught with my pants down. If the ban gets signed into law, I'll be set for years to come.
I am so sick of back biting stuff. It's a free market. The way you win is making a product. Not excuses Which is all we are getting. I have purchased American 2 times and have been burned 2 times. My 2 American drones are currently boat anchors. It will take a whole lot to get me to buy American again.
I currently live in CHina and this is where I bought my drones (Mini 3 pro, Mavic 3 Pro, and Avata 2). My question is Can I bring my drones home to the USA?
Legislating out a company just because they are making better products at an AFFORDABLE price is beyond trumpism childness. Is this what The USA has become? Whatever happened to Healthy Competeition?
We already pay a 25% tarrif for Chinese Drones, to help US manufacturers be competitive. DJI is based out of Hong Kong no slave labor. DJI just makes amazing products at reasonable prices. Im a hard core republican, but I absolutely love all 8 of my DJI Drones, & I just ordered my 9th DJI Drone, AIR 3S. Usually American made products are of higher quality than foreign competitors, but Skydio Drones aren't in the same league as DJI, & they cost over 10 times what a similar DJI product cost.
Paul has repeatedly commented on how some drones fly comparatively poorly, using car analogies. In the past, he also said that the M3E flies so much better than the consumer M3 variants. Is there any detailed explanation or video that demonstrates the differences?
@33:55 NO PLEASE GO ON! We need to know. As DSP’s were healed mercilessly some of us in desperate situations not knowing what to do. We need all the information the industry leaders can give us. Not for a competitive advantage but just to stay relevant and afloat in the industry
In regards to the Uighur forced labor issue, would you prefer that there would instead be an American law which makes it fully legal to import goods made using forced and slave labor? Would you then allow American companies to set up shop abroad to use forced/slave labor? Or, would you only make it possible for foreign firms to do so (giving them a financial advantage from unpaid or underpaid labor)? I don't think any of that would be tolerable, especially given the role slavery played within America for almost a century. To clarify, it's not just recent laws which make this illegal. The Tariff Act of 1930 (Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act), section 307, prohibits the importation of merchandise produced, wholly or in part, by forced labor, including convict labor, forced child labor, and indentured labor. It's no different than Apple, Adidas, or Nike getting hit with fines and import bans on their products for using forced labor. Nike was hit with an WRO like DJI was, Adidas had to destroy about USD$20 million of product in shipping containers in China a few years back because of potential use of XUAR cotton and other forced labor issues, and Apple execs have hauled in front of Congress countless times over issues with their subcontractors and suppliers. DJI is on the radar of a lot of Uighur rights groups, especially due to the partnership of DJI with XUAR paramilitary and security forces. Most likely one of these groups with inside contacts with one of DJI's suppliers made a complaint to the CBP, the CBP found it credible, and then imposed seizure of suspected related shipments. Now it's up to DJI to show evidence that no aspect of the sanctioned products are violating US laws prohibiting the importation of foreign goods made using forced labor.
The government subsidizing US businesses is not the answer. Putting tarrifs (taxes) on DJI is the answer. This helps EVERY US manufacturer without bias or favoritism. China subsidizes DJI in various ways, to counter that use tarrifs. This takes away their unfair advantage.
where is the proof dji? making drones in usa is no diffrent to making a pickup truck in the states it will always cost more than what china can make for
The American government doesn’t want the people to have drones, hence all the restrictions. So why would the American government foster the development of an American consumer drone like China has.

PLEASE link us when you drop the video explaining how to unlock the Cinema features on the Mavic 3 Enterprise. This would be a MASSIVE help. 🎉

I have done the same…have all of those as well….and two of each avata series

It's not a fair market when the CCP gives incentives and allows unfair labor. The solution is tarrifs or some sort of higher registration fee.
29 minute in - policy driven or subsidized? The government does invest in the advancement of technology already, why not in this specific market?
I wonder if they tried to get an Anzu?
We have Mavic 3 Enterprise in stock - FYI
Multicopter Warehouse - you'd think you guys would check with us being your closest dealer....

Doubtful. As long as you are not importing for sale. But who knows. Seems like it's only larger shipments being blocked.

Pay attention. It's not fair when China allows slave labor. Labor is a major part of costs.
We already pay a 25% tarrif for Chinese Drones, to help US manufacturers be competitive. DJI is based out of Hong Kong no slave labor. DJI just makes amazing products at reasonable prices.

I never saw Trump talk about anything other than free market so I’m not sure where you are going with this blame game.

Event 38 unmanned systems ,has mavic 3 enterprise
Just imagine what Elon and team could do if they were to build drones! Put my name on the petition begging him to get into the drone business!!
UFLPA selective enforcement 💯%
Wouldn't be better if the US Government would just stay out completely?
Maybe if China would play fair they could. If the CCP would allow a fair market, but since they won't we should tarrif their imports.
THe government should have NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO authority in our choices of who to buy from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unless those countries are violating trade agreements or producing using slave labor.
