DJI is a Chinese Communist controlled company with a side job of collecting data. US should ban ALL that is made in China. Including the rice that may be spying on the water temperature in the pot. If you really want to know the extent of the Chinese spying network, explain how is possible that in every major city, every city block has a chinese nail salon with 10 chinese young women doing nails, getting maybe 12 customers a day and paying $20000 a month rent. Also, some of those chinese nail workers get moved around to different salons to avoid suspicion...(based of what needs to be collected and their expertise?). Ether there is one BIG nail company owning all those salons, or somebody else is paying for the rents at a major loss. All employees are chinese. Make the connection.

As a person who was born in the USSR and now lives in the USA I can say that unfortunately, the USA is on the straight path to turning into the USSR. Censorship, propaganda, and discontent of the people with the government soon iron curtain. And the saddest part is that the more freedoms are taken away the louder people are screaming- I am free as an attempt of mental self-defense. For reference here are the first lines of one of the most popular songs in the USSR: My native country is vast, There are many forests, fields, and rivers in it!

@LlaneRost I couldn't agree more. The minute lobbyists were allowed to bribe politicians is the same minute our country started to slide. You can not have an honest government while still having the temptations of wealth.
This took nearly a year and a half to pass the house. Do you honestly think this will make it through the senate in a few weeks? The bill will be dead by November.
Take it to def-con and you'll end up with MANY uncovered vulnerabilities. Nothing is safe. It's wireless and constantly updates via the web... yeah, it's definitely not safe. It's unlikely that anyone can show you proprietary source code. I'm sure they keep that hush hush. (For some reason this comment is appearing twice on my screen despite posting one comment so if you see two, I already know and can't delete it without deleting both.)
Take the drone to a def-con convention and you'll end up with many uncovered vulnerabilities. Is that drone wireless? Does it send its' info in a digital format? Does it require constant updates just to fly?... It's vulnerable and you don't need to exploit "a line of code" to receive potentially damning information regarding the location, personal or video information from the drone. Any device you connect the drone to can be a possible attack vector. Besides, do you think a company like DJI would ever show us their proprietary code? I do think we need to stop sending our money to China for a while.
@@billybbob18 So you're admitting you don't have a proof and it's your insecurities banning all of these stuff just because there could be something fishy. Lol.
It's all Skydio. It would be too much of a liability to have drone deliveries plus the costs of operating automated drones and setting up dozens of drone hubs around central distribution centers is way tooo expensive. Skydio wants to come back and sell over priced and locked down drones to consumers and law enforcement their sales are tanking.
This is all gaslighting and fearmongering BS by both sides of the aisle. So many smart devices are spying on you right now, in your home, at work and even as you drive. Anyone can upload real time video from ANY drone or RC Aircraft to Chinese Servers! I see no reason to ban DJI or impose all the other recent restrictions. Skydio is butt hurt that they are loosing business to DJI, and Amazon and Walmart want yo control the airspace! All these companies are lobbying these politicians with $$$!
What a ridiculous bill. Lets ban iPhones and Android phones too while we are at it. I have written my congressmen fought the good fight but I kinda felt like it was not going to make a difference. I think they will eventually try and ban previously sold ones because otherwise the premise of the bill makes no sense.
Both iPhone and Android do terrible things. iPhone is anti-consumer and anti-competitive. Android is spy-spy-spy-ware. Make no mistake, drones are viewed as scary to people and so are much easier to ban or regulate. While people generally have a positive view of pocket computer manufacturers.

Okay, Drone Pilots let’s by clear about the Bill Passed. (H.R. 2864) This Bill is strictly for the use of Federal Funding to Purchase or the Use of DJI Drones for Government Contracts. It is not affecting private usage or Pilots. Now to further clarify what is really going on. There are specific “No Fly Zones” for DJI Drones laid out for those flying DJI Drones. As a general rule of thumb a Part 107 Pilot should be aware of where and when they can fly. Let’s be real about it. If the Federal Government is involved DJI Drones are not allowed to be any part of that project or contract PERIOD! Go American or Go Home… That’s the Statement being made! This is the goal of those coming up with opposition to Chinese manufactured Drones. Final Thoughts: “We The People”, need to come together and do something about this problem. Being proactive and letting the Politicians who are writing these Bills need to know American manufactures must start produce affordable drones, so the little guy/gal can compete with Big Businesses. Entrepreneurship is the American way! No one should be shut out of an industry due to the lack of affordability.
Fascinating, I've heard several different reports on this but I've not heard people mention the very narrow scope here. Yeah, it is an amendment to the "Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019 " which governs equipment purchased with federal subsidies.
@@maxbgi70 Yez they do… the unfortunate thing is the average person that fly for a hobby, has a low revenue business or is just starting out in the industry can’t afford them! Why? Because you are going to spend thousands on them. So how about you reframe from speaking down on products that are above your reach. If you owned one you would know the quality and ability of these phenomenal pieces of equipment. Trust this one fact they are worth every penny paid and again “YES” they are American Made. Real talk they have parts that come from elsewhere, which doesn’t make them any less American Made! Do your homework: The Freefly Alta X drone. Alas (American Made). This drone isn't cheap, it goes for $23,500.
This war is basically already lost. They have already made up their minds and just keep doubling down on the whole “national security” BS. I love when they talk about how China is “ cheating”, then shortly after comparing Skydios’ flagship consumer Drone, to one of the absolute cheapest drones that DJI makes, to showcase how much cheaper DJI drones are because of government subsidies. If you compare two drones from those companies that are actually comparable, they’re very similarly priced, and in a lot of cases, DJI is more expensive(because they are better lol). They just pick and choose what they want to share to make their point. They say that we are forced to buy Chinese drones because of the price. No for certain things like inspection drones and even just consumer drones. DJI just makes the best and most reliable aircraft. Nobody is forcing me to buy anything. In fact, I just purchased a Mavic three enterprise for inspection and mapping. There are zero US drones that can even come close to what DJI produces. I would love to buy American, but American drone makers, don’t have the research and development/capability(I guess) to match the technology. They also have a competing CEO up there being questioned on how we can protect our national security?🤔(KILL OUR COMPETITION), blah blah blah. It’s all a bunch of bleeping bureaucratic garbage. What I want to know is why Skydio didn’t show off their agricultural drones. You know, the ones that they’re planning to replace the DJI drones with? It’s because THEY DONT FUCKING MAKE THEM!! They don’t know how…The farmers are FUCKED!!
we already lost the race in most products, those bans are so embarrassing, soon the will ban airbus so Boeing has a chance to build shitty products. The should rather focus on our crooked companies, or companies like google that rule the online market :(
I have been really considering getting a Part 107 license. But i honestly would only feel comfortable flying DJI when using a drone for business purposes. I have fpv's but i consider them more recreational/ racing / stunt drones.
Edit: I was looking at results of the vote from back in June that was highly partisan. I do not yet know the results of the vote on Monday was partisan or not. It appears that this vote was done by voice vote, and we will never know who voted and how they voted, which seems particularly cowardly to me. Any single congressman could have requested that the vote be recorded, and no one did. I am writing my rep to ask him how he voted and why he did not request a recorded vote. My apologies for the previous incorrect info. Take note that this bill was voted by party line, and which party overwhelmingly voted to ban the DJI drones with absolutely zero evidence presented to the American public of any risks to national security of using the drones. It is likely also worth checking out who has been pocketing money from competitors.
Geo mapping the entirety of the United States by a hostile foreign government is not a risk, in your opinion? Have you read the One China policy? Chinese companies and citizens are required by law to share with the CCP.
@@AV84USA china has their own high resolution satellites already with detailed imagery. US citizens and corporations may not be required by law to share with our government, but they get the information anyway if they want it and likely store it in bulk no matter what-either through hacking, back doors or purchasing from private and foreign data collection sources.

Wow so lets see where sales go I can imagine that DJI is going to get a big rise in sales in the next few months also to add this puts farmers who use these drones to keep costs down which leads to lower produce costs at the super market in jeopardy as well corn farmers who are using this technology more and more for crop management which will certainly add to gas prices as much of todays fuel comes from ethanol i.e. from corn
Farmers don't care about keeping food prices low. Farmers get subsidies from the government and they try to make as much money as they possibly can. They also don't control the prices. Most Farmers using those agricultural drones are growing soy, corn and wheat, and other cash crops. I don't eat that crap. I buy food that hasn't been covered in pesticides. They use drones simply for the convenience, and because it's cheaper than buying an airplane and fuel. They couldn't care less about you.
As the owner of a small fleet of older DJI drones, I am genuinely curious to find out how a US government ban on newly released DJI drones will affect the prices of older drones of the sort flooding eBay right now. Will the non-availability of post-2024 DJI drones mean that the entire range of pre-2024 DJI drones will suddenly commence to appreciate in value seeing as their possession at least initially appears to skirt the letter of the new law? Or will a ban on the importation and sale of post-2024 DJI drones cause most hobby drone owners to anticipate a gradual broadening of that DJI drone ban to encompass earlier than 2024 DJI drone models thus forcing former DJI loyalists to shop from the paltry selection of EU or USA-made drones that will have become the only options in town by default? This second scenario will cause DJI drone prices to plummet. I'm pulling up a chair to monitor drone prices over the next few months even as I panic-buy a couple more 2017-vintage DJI Mavic 2 Pros.

That's a tough one. I think DJI makes good product, I've used them and like them. I am concerned with having good internal core technologies made and owned by the US. I don't mind having external competitors, but from what I've seen there isn't a really good comparable company to DJI in the US. Most of the rest in my opinion are really not good quality or design. Which makes us very relient on DJI and by allowing them longer, we'll only become more dependant on them. By restricting access, maybe we can have better internal US drone products made. Then I'd be ok with lifting the ban.
But then the Chinese will copy and reverse engineer the better US technology and have them manufactured in labour camps by persecuted group of the moment like Tibetans, Fa Lun Gong and Uyghurs.
It’s a shame. I am simply an occasionally recreational flyer. I only fly out of a park near my house normally, and certainly not interested in flying near sensitive areas. Why can’t the ban simply target people flying near areas such as restricted ones or airports, etc.? I have always supported the practice of flying drones safely and a non-restricted flying environment. With this bill put down in the Senate I feel that it certainly will be handled in the same way in the house.Therefore I feel like I must order and receive the smallest new drone, the DJI Neo. It is small, looks like fun and works with all of the DJI equipment that I already own. I hope this DJI drone act will not be passed. If that happens however, I do hope that the American drone industry will be able to innovate and create other worthy and continuously improved products and control software over time.
unless all drone footage is uploaded, what is the problem when all sorts of other vulnerable tech continues to be ignored while constantly on the internet?
Well, Time to support dji even more. First, I think dji need to start suing the other factory for stealing their designs. There alot of dji drones look a likes out there. That's why they can't compete. They need to the eliminate the height restriction. I used to have a hubson drone, I can fly that higher than 120m that regulations will allow. I Already go Mini 2. Enjoy it this mini drone. Matter of fact, Im thinking about getting mavic mini pro 4. Need to step my game up a notch. Better order every accessory parts you can get. You know like blades, motors, cameras, batteries, etc. When this bill pass, These parts will be very hard to find once its ban.
While I am sure there is copying going on, there is a practical reason why different kinds of drones look alike. They are designed for functionality and not appearance. It is like how all (most) airplanes have 2 wings. They aren't copying each other's design but physics and engineering makes them similar.
I appreciate your verbiage with articulating exactly what they are trying to do. Not all content creators are getting this info out there for all to understand. The sad thing is there are those that just want to interpret this information as they choose! Which honestly does not make any sense!
this means nothing until the president gets it and approves it EDIT: aso this crap is crazy. I havent flown my standard 3 in 3 years and i didnt even know about the "ban" until not too long ago. the app just crashes but you can still download filesfrom the internet to make the dji app work. i flew my dji drone today and i forgot how much fun it was.
Remember the best phone manufacturer in the modern world Huawei (Huawei mate xt best phone ever)... I just got my mavic 3 Thermal last year...guess I should stock up on batteries 😢
Would a commercial remote pilot still be able to use an already purchased DJI for business still if the DJI ban went into effect in the future? I can't seem to find an answer for that.
This is the senates revision... sent back to and passed by the house without further modification. I cant imagine a scenario where they wouldn't pass their own revision.
I'm glad about this. I was once a drone fanatic but I only flew at AMA sanctioned areas.

So the guy that wants to sell the drones his drone here in the US that's from the US. He has powerful friends that are in politics. Either his wife is in politics or he has close friends that are. This is why they're only attacking DJI you got other drone manufacturers that are not in the US
Yes, it will. China collection of FJI's data that will be used against the US will stop. DJI's massive data is in China.
As a person who was born in the USSR and now lives in the USA I can say that unfortunately, the USA is on the straight path to turning into the USSR. Censorship, propaganda, and discontent of the people with the government soon iron curtain. And the saddest part is that the more freedoms are taken away the louder people are screaming- I am free as an attempt of mental self-defense. For reference here are the first lines of one of the most popular songs in the USSR:
My native country is vast,
There are many forests, fields, and rivers in it!
I don’t know of another country like this,
Where a person can breathe so freely.
As a person who was born in Cuba I can see the same happening if people keep voting democrats
I don't understand the problem between US and Russia. We look alike, build great cities, and a great military, both our people are wonderful.

Take it to def-con and you'll end up with MANY uncovered vulnerabilities. Nothing is safe. It's wireless and constantly updates via the web... yeah, it's definitely not safe. It's unlikely that anyone can show you proprietary source code. I'm sure they keep that hush hush. (For some reason this comment is appearing twice on my screen despite posting one comment so if you see two, I already know and can't delete it without deleting both.)
Take the drone to a def-con convention and you'll end up with many uncovered vulnerabilities. Is that drone wireless? Does it send its' info in a digital format? Does it require constant updates just to fly?... It's vulnerable and you don't need to exploit "a line of code" to receive potentially damning information regarding the location, personal or video information from the drone. Any device you connect the drone to can be a possible attack vector. Besides, do you think a company like DJI would ever show us their proprietary code? I do think we need to stop sending our money to China for a while.

What a ridiculous bill. Lets ban iPhones and Android phones too while we are at it. I have written my congressmen fought the good fight but I kinda felt like it was not going to make a difference. I think they will eventually try and ban previously sold ones because otherwise the premise of the bill makes no sense.

Both iPhone and Android do terrible things. iPhone is anti-consumer and anti-competitive. Android is spy-spy-spy-ware. Make no mistake, drones are viewed as scary to people and so are much easier to ban or regulate. While people generally have a positive view of pocket computer manufacturers.

Okay, Drone Pilots let’s by clear about the Bill Passed. (H.R. 2864) This Bill is strictly for the use of Federal Funding to Purchase or the Use of DJI Drones for Government Contracts. It is not affecting private usage or Pilots. Now to further clarify what is really going on. There are specific “No Fly Zones” for DJI Drones laid out for those flying DJI Drones. As a general rule of thumb a Part 107 Pilot should be aware of where and when they can fly. Let’s be real about it. If the Federal Government is involved DJI Drones are not allowed to be any part of that project or contract PERIOD! Go American or Go Home… That’s the Statement being made! This is the goal of those coming up with opposition to Chinese manufactured Drones. Final Thoughts: “We The People”, need to come together and do something about this problem. Being proactive and letting the Politicians who are writing these Bills need to know American manufactures must start produce affordable drones, so the little guy/gal can compete with Big Businesses. Entrepreneurship is the American way! No one should be shut out of an industry due to the lack of affordability.
Fascinating, I've heard several different reports on this but I've not heard people mention the very narrow scope here. Yeah, it is an amendment to the "Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019 " which governs equipment purchased with federal subsidies.

Because you are going to spend thousands on them. So how about you reframe from speaking down on products that are above your reach. If you owned one you would know the quality and ability of these phenomenal pieces of equipment. Trust this one fact they are worth every penny paid and again “YES” they are American Made. Real talk they have parts that come from elsewhere, which doesn’t make them any less American Made! Do your homework: The Freefly Alta X drone. Alas (American Made).

This war is basically already lost. They have already made up their minds and just keep doubling down on the whole “national security” BS.
I love when they talk about how China is “ cheating”, then shortly after comparing Skydios’ flagship consumer Drone, to one of the absolute cheapest drones that DJI makes, to showcase how much cheaper DJI drones are because of government subsidies. If you compare two drones from those companies that are actually comparable, they’re very similarly priced, and in a lot of cases, DJI is more expensive(because they are better lol).
They just pick and choose what they want to share to make their point. They say that we are forced to buy Chinese drones because of the price. No for certain things like inspection drones and even just consumer drones. DJI just makes the best and most reliable aircraft. Nobody is forcing me to buy anything. In fact, I just purchased a Mavic three enterprise for inspection and mapping. There are zero US drones that can even come close to what DJI produces. I would love to buy American, but American drone makers, don’t have the research and development/capability(I guess) to match the technology. They also have a competing CEO up there being questioned on how we can protect our national security?🤔(KILL OUR COMPETITION), blah blah blah. It’s all a bunch of bleeping bureaucratic garbage.
What I want to know is why Skydio didn’t show off their agricultural drones. You know, the ones that they’re planning to replace the DJI drones with? It’s because THEY DONT FUCKING MAKE THEM!! They don’t know how…The farmers are FUCKED!!
we already lost the race in most products, those bans are so embarrassing, soon the will ban airbus so Boeing has a chance to build shitty products. The should rather focus on our crooked companies, or companies like google that rule the online market :(

Its not for national security reasons. Its because U.S. drone companies cant compete with DJI.
@@doctorstrange1734 and there's the answer, DJI is top notch and reasonably priced. this is crazy times
I have been really considering getting a Part 107 license. But i honestly would only feel comfortable flying DJI when using a drone for business purposes. I have fpv's but i consider them more recreational/ racing / stunt drones.
Edit: I was looking at results of the vote from back in June that was highly partisan. I do not yet know the results of the vote on Monday was partisan or not.
It appears that this vote was done by voice vote, and we will never know who voted and how they voted, which seems particularly cowardly to me. Any single congressman could have requested that the vote be recorded, and no one did. I am writing my rep to ask him how he voted and why he did not request a recorded vote. My apologies for the previous incorrect info.
Take note that this bill was voted by party line, and which party overwhelmingly voted to ban the DJI drones with absolutely zero evidence presented to the American public of any risks to national security of using the drones. It is likely also worth checking out who has been pocketing money from competitors.
Where's the roll call vote? Gov Track doesn't have it. It was passed out of committee unanimously. Meaning all democrats voted for it too.

Wow so lets see where sales go I can imagine that DJI is going to get a big rise in sales in the next few months also to add this puts farmers who use these drones to keep costs down which leads to lower produce costs at the super market in jeopardy as well corn farmers who are using this technology more and more for crop management which will certainly add to gas prices as much of todays fuel comes from ethanol i.e. from corn
Farmers don't care about keeping food prices low.
Farmers get subsidies from the government and they try to make as much money as they possibly can. They also don't control the prices. Most Farmers using those agricultural drones are growing soy, corn and wheat, and other cash crops. I don't eat that crap. I buy food that hasn't been covered in pesticides.
They use drones simply for the convenience, and because it's cheaper than buying an airplane and fuel.
They couldn't care less about you.
As the owner of a small fleet of older DJI drones, I am genuinely curious to find out how a US government ban on newly released DJI drones will affect the prices of older drones of the sort flooding eBay right now.
Will the non-availability of post-2024 DJI drones mean that the entire range of pre-2024 DJI drones will suddenly commence to appreciate in value seeing as their possession at least initially appears to skirt the letter of the new law?
Or will a ban on the importation and sale of post-2024 DJI drones cause most hobby drone owners to anticipate a gradual broadening of that DJI drone ban to encompass earlier than 2024 DJI drone models thus forcing former DJI loyalists to shop from the paltry selection of EU or USA-made drones that will have become the only options in town by default?
This second scenario will cause DJI drone prices to plummet. I'm pulling up a chair to monitor drone prices over the next few months even as I panic-buy a couple more 2017-vintage DJI Mavic 2 Pros.

I think DJI makes good product, I've used them and like them. I am concerned with having good internal core technologies made and owned by the US. I don't mind having external competitors, but from what I've seen there isn't a really good comparable company to DJI in the US. Most of the rest in my opinion are really not good quality or design. Which makes us very relient on DJI and by allowing them longer, we'll only become more dependant on them. By restricting access, maybe we can have better internal US drone products made. Then I'd be ok with lifting the ban.
But then the Chinese will copy and reverse engineer the better US technology and have them manufactured in labour camps by persecuted group of the moment like Tibetans, Fa Lun Gong and Uyghurs.

It’s a shame. I am simply an occasionally recreational flyer. I only fly out of a park near my house normally, and certainly not interested in flying near sensitive areas. Why can’t the ban simply target people flying near areas such as restricted ones or airports, etc.? I have always supported the practice of flying drones safely and a non-restricted flying environment.
With this bill put down in the Senate I feel that it certainly will be handled in the same way in the house.Therefore I feel like I must order and receive the smallest new drone, the DJI Neo. It is small, looks like fun and works with all of the DJI equipment that I already own. I hope this DJI drone act will not be passed. If that happens however, I do hope that the American drone industry will be able to innovate and create other worthy and continuously improved products and control software over time.

Well, Time to support dji even more. First, I think dji need to start suing the other factory for stealing their designs. There alot of dji drones look a likes out there. That's why they can't compete. They need to the eliminate the height restriction. I used to have a hubson drone, I can fly that higher than 120m that regulations will allow. I Already go Mini 2. Enjoy it this mini drone. Matter of fact, Im thinking about getting mavic mini pro 4. Need to step my game up a notch. Better order every accessory parts you can get. You know like blades, motors, cameras, batteries, etc. When this bill pass, These parts will be very hard to find once its ban.
While I am sure there is copying going on, there is a practical reason why different kinds of drones look alike. They are designed for functionality and not appearance. It is like how all (most) airplanes have 2 wings. They aren't copying each other's design but physics and engineering makes them similar.
we should start a drone design company. Really just need a person who knows how to design chips we can work on the drone designs
