    Everyday I sell a Neo at London Drugs, I try to include your basic RPAS course (which we sell at London Drugs) you'd be surprised how many people don't know the potential that comes with it. On top of being a great FPV drone it's replacing the Mini/Air as an entry level into something larger like a Mavic..

    They let down the consumers market . With the tech they have they should have made smaller Skydios and and today they would be number one.

      They saw dollar signs and tried to run before they could walk.I really want a good American consumer/professional drone company to compete with DJI. Disappointed Skydio didn't even try and rather decided to play dirty politics. Serves them right to learn a tough lesson.

    Red Cat taking that $100 million contract from Scoto is a big shake-up! Guess the Black Widow system is really impressing the military. Will be interesting to see how DJI counters with their new products. Great video!

      you are 100% correct, skydio bribed congressman to try and ban DJI because their drones suck and are expensive. See what that got them, no batteries, skydio sells their drones with one battery, no battery replacements available. I would love to see them go the way of the Karma drone.

    Does Redcat only sell to the military? I checked their website, and I didn't see much on it. I'm looking at DJI drones right now, but i also want to see other professional grade drones for solid cross comparisons. As of right now, it seems that DJI is the kind of the hill in professional civilian drones. I'll be getting my part 107 in about a month so I'm starting my search now.
