Perhaps if we ban Senators from owning stock in companies that are directly affected by their votes, this kind of crap could stop. Stop political insider trading.
Exactly what this is all about. CORRUPTION
It's the House that is the main problem!
sorry for you guys .. hope another chinese company can create a product to replace dji ..
Another example of why we need term limits and why power needs to be stripped from politicians.
So a person cannot be a senator for 40 years
@carkawalakhatulistiwa
They can. And that's part of the problem. The longer they are there, the greater the chances of them becoming corrupted. Usually, DC is a place for those who couldn't make it in the real world, so they became a senator. So the least qualified does. And since they don't have to be competent, they can get away with that incompetence for years. Something they couldn't do in the real world.
However, term limits is just one means of keeping politicians under control.
Term limits would just mean more of them!
@@nightlightabcd
It means less of them as in they wouldn't be there long enough to become one.
Even if this passes the senate and is signed into law by Biden in it's current form, will it actually prevent new sales of EXISTING models? I just watched another video where they were saying you'll probably still be able to buy DJI drones that already exist. The actual language of the bill would make it illegal for DJI to get FCC certification on any new drones, meaning they'd be illegal to fly. But there is NOTHING even close to talking about sales or possesion of DJI drones. If you look at a lot of the anti firearm bills democrats try to pass, they specifically say it would be illegal to sell or transfer whatever specific type of firearm they are targeting. Current model DJI drones already have FCC certification, and there is no language in the bill that mentions anything about sales of DJI drones, so it should remain legal to buy current models, even if the bill is signed into law in its current form. Also, companies typically apply for FCC certification well before the product is released. If some of these rumors about Mavic 4 or Air 3S/4 are accurate and either of these is going to be released in the next few months, it's possible they've already been certified by the FCC, meaning they'd also be available to buy in the US.
There is also a lot of talk about the possibility of the FCC revoking certification for existing drones that already have been certified. This WOULD make it illegal to fly all DJI drones, even older models you already own. While still not technically illegal to sell them in the US, I'd image that any large retailer like Amazon/Walmart/Bestbuy/ETC. would stop selling them. This would not actually ground your drones. It wouldn't physically prevent you from flying your drones, just make the act of flying them illegal. Only DJI themselves could ground your current drones via a software update, but if they were already completely banned from the US what incentive would they have to do such a thing? This bill in its current form does not have any language that specifically mandates revoking existing certification. It's unclear if this would, or even could happen without further action.
Either way, even if the outcome is that this bill is signed into law in its current form, and we can still fly and BUY current drones, it still sucks for the future not being able to upgrade to newer more capable models. American companies should put their money into research and development and make a worthy competitor to DJI drones, rather than paying lobbyists to get DJI drones banned, it's pathetic.
It's very important to note that the person who introduced this bill has ties to and can profit greatly from some US drone companies. Unfortunately, the intent isn't as the bill appears to prevent Chinese espionage, but instead to give the lesser quality US drone companies no direct competition (which lines the pockets of the individual who slipped this bill in when it passes).
thx
Well said
We do have american drones and some are so advanced than DJI. They even are autonomous that it doesn’t even need a drone operator. It comes with AI with onboard NVidia chip. But these companies are focused on industrial, law enforcement and military and none for recreational. Skydio has abandoned the consumer market and the new entrant Anzu Robotics seems to give us hope with it’s licensed DJI frame and using american firmware and controller operating system Aloft. But then, that too currently only has models for the enterprise class and we are yet to see a rollout for consumer in the future.
The answer is yes, we do have american made drones. It’s just not focused for recreational purposes at this time.
I say sue Skydio and Stefanik when this bill does go through. Lots of businesses will be affected by this. Not only law enforcement/SAR but farmers, real estate, and everyone else that owns DJI products. Skydio and Stefanik needs to pay for all of it.
Yeah if my drones getting banned, someone's buying it for full price. Or it's getting flown.
Can you explain why?
@@SkyCandyVisuals the bill wording is very vague. It’s saying ban DJI drones due to its potential security risks. Ban through FCC which means it’s very uncertain the future use of DJI drones or its products going forward that requires FCC approvals. It’s not just drones, that includes action cameras, mic, or anything that T/R wirelessly. Mind you, the whole point of this ban isn’t just DJI, it’s all Chinese drones. Like I said, many business will be affected including hobbyists that use Chinese drone parts requiring FCC. Look at Hauwei through FCC. Where are they now? Yes they were doing something illegal. Whether they find something with DJI or not which they have no hard evidence yet to provide to the people. This ban is on the same train. DJI ban will become illegal use of DJI tech in US.
@jamesmilagrosa I'm kind of asking why sue skydio? What's their connection on this idk all the info about it
@@SkyCandyVisuals oh gotta be more specific 😂 Joe barrett a former National Security Advisor now working for Skydio working as Director of Federal Policy for Skydio. Barrett feeding Stefanik false info regarding DJI is a security risks and being connected to CCP. Yet has no solid proof of said security risks.
I freaking kidding me, I literally just got my DJI mini 3 today 😢
Same! 😭 It’s waiting for me to pick it up from Best Buy not sure what to do
Return it
@@JT-gt6lo but it’s such a good product
@@JT-gt6lo I don’t know what to do 😩
@@flowergatcha it would take some years for the ban to take effect even if the ban becomes official there are still more votes on it to be had and possible counters to it anyways.... I bought a drone from DJI anyways cuz idgaf.
since when do politicians listen to what the voters want?
Shameful. I can't believe with all the issues in NYS they are focusing on this. Fire them all.
NY and CA are over the fence.
Israeli defense force currently use Avata in their missions . Do you think they would use them if they could be hacked ? That’s what I would ask stefenik
2:04 Actually the language mentions GOVERMENTAL purchase of them not by civilians..
"This bill requires the inclusion of telecommunications and video surveillance equipment or services produced or provided by Shenzhen Da-Jiang Innovations Sciences and Technologies Company Limited (a Chinese drone maker commonly known as DJI Technologies) on a list of communications equipment or services determined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to pose an unacceptable risk to U.S. national security. "
"Current law prohibits the use of federal funding available through specified FCC programs for purchasing or maintaining listed equipment or services"
"To amend the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019 to provide for the addition of certain equipment and services produced or provided by DJI Technologies to the list of covered communications equipment or services published under such Act, and for other purposes."
And this is exactly why I kept my old DJI Naza flight controllers, I knew one day this would happen
Same here, still have my old Flame Wheel F450 with Naza 1 FC 😜
If ban ever happens, boycott Skydio and never buy drones for them. Find alternatives.
please tell me , if all Chinese manufactured components , such as radios and Flight controllers are banned, where will we buy our alternatives from?
Spent the last 5 years investing in DJI for personal hobbies as well as professional photo shoots, if I'm shooting a wedding, party, real-estate, or using it for person use to get wonderful footage of nature. Dji is the brand I trust. Been saving for a while now to get the mavic 3 pro. Will be very upset if I can't get it :(
This is what happens when a country doesn't defend its manufacturing base.
NAFTA.
Then US should make they own drone that is better than DJI. Unfortunately, i think US doesn't have the man power to do it, or if it does, it would be much more expensive.
How do you know that it won’t affect the drones that we currently have?
That’s what I’m wondering. This was the only good news I heard.
thats why im scared to buy the avata 2
THERE IS NO GOOD NEWS IN THIS BILL. Skydio turned off the comments on ALL their videos. They played themselves. Not a drone pilot I know is going to be forced to pay more💰 for an inferior aircraft. Due to safety concerns alone.
If it bans all future products and allows the current ones to still be used and sold, it would be amazing. It’s honestly already at a perfect place rn.
@javiers.ramirez7862 why is that? It seems to me like you are just limiting access to new operators and driving the cost up for older models because you won't be able to buy new ones...
I saw an online article about Skydio spending 530,000 dollars on lobbying. Two other companies were also listed as lobbying for American drone manufacturers. It is supposed to be public record. They need to get rid of lobbyists!!!
Public safety. You said surveillance wrong. 😆
Ehehehehe
Now 100% tariff on Chinese EVs so that Americans will not have access to awesome affordable EVs.
They will banned it for sure. HUAWEII WENT ON THE SAME TRACK
So a lot of DJI drones to be put up for sale, so the prices will massively drop.
Skydio ceo are saying “yes we about to be rich”… skydio cheap shot. Can’t build to win so you pay congress to ban dji. 😂😂😂 that’s mess up.
What a joke.. They're gonna let the law enforcement but probably make them illegal to the public.
Yes. And this law is far darker than people will believe.
When you pull up NDAA 24 you can no longer find it in the section or I am no longer seeing CCP act in there.
I'm a bit late to the party here I have been hearing a little about the potential ban here in Australia which will no doubt follow the US. We use them extensively in the emergency, farming and agriculture industries. Can someone remind me why the ban is immanent. Is it paranoia about the product being made in China?
Thanks for the update bro. We appreciate it.
You bet
Is this going to affect our dji 03 air units and Caddx vistas
Dirty politics .Sorry for you guys . I wish all be ok soon. From Brazil
Your politics let's drug dealers in power.
@@pricelessppp here the situation ITS much worse. I think u didnt get .politics sucks around the word
I don't know why DJI doesn't makes a company here in the USA. I understand it's a company from China but I'm sure they can have one here as well. Maybe that will ease the tension between the two countries, maybe it won't.
I'm sure DJI representatives will do all they can to get the USA not to ban them. I hope DJI succeed and win this bullshit.
I'll be honest, I don't know what I'll do. Another drone from a different company is definitely out of the question.
Thanks for sharing JD. 👍 👍 👍
I agree
They sold licenses to Anzu… damn things take DJI batteries so uh, they kinda already have a “U.S. Company” 🫠
Establishing a company in the United States? Like TikTok, they will be forcibly sold to the United States, which is a form of robbery
@@Bluecollarham They may be compatible, but I don't think they're going to work. I could be mistaken. I don't have one, and I wouldn't buy one either. It's like that other clone that it's definitely the air 3 without a doubt, but with a different name. The batteries are compatible but don't work.
Tiktok also got their server and company base in USA.. but still got banned .. Tiktok server and data is observed and taking care by the famous ORACLE.. but they cant control the post and voice.. so they ban TikTok .. not about privacy and data
This means I have $8500.00 worth of paper weights.🤔
Its stated it wont affect currently owned DJI products.
I wanted to share my perspective on the current discussions regarding the potential ban on Chinese drones in the U.S. It seems to me that this ban does not truly reflect a genuine concern from the U.S. government about Chinese drones. Rather, implementing such a ban would eliminate approximately 90% of recreational drones sold in the U.S., significantly reducing the number of drones flown in this country.
Additionally, it's worth noting that the momentum for this ban only started to build after SkyDio's exit from the consumer drone market. This timing seems more than coincidental and suggests that other factors may be influencing the narrative.
I believe it is crucial for us to address this issue from this perspective in our messaging.
Best regards,
Lead Coordinator & Remote Pilot Trainer, Syosset Fire Department
Impeccable timing. Pretty obvious. You hit the nail on the head with your perspective. Skydio wants them gone.
Thank you for sharing! I thankfully got mine before this mess started.
I am so glad I am relocating out of the United States.
I guess I’m going back to analog 😂
😂😂
I agree. Polticians need term limits and age limits. Also IQ tests. If they can’t point out where major country is on the map or say what their stock portfolio is public. Automatically disqualified.
Not interested,
I will still fly my drones
Maybe you could post the best people to contact. Sure we can contact our senators. But I live in state where our senators probably wouldn’t vote to ban dji drones. It would be helpful to have links to various groups or organizations to post our complaints. Thanks.
What about the current inventory still sitting on distributers shelves and back orders? Would they be able to sell the inventory?
Yes
The ban won’t go through.
Unfortunately it's very likely that it will because it's tied in to a much larger bill like funding the military that needs to be passed.
I live in Canada 🇨🇦 🤣
So if we want a new dji drone should buy it now?
Pretty much
R u fn kidding me!!!!!! Wtf does these politicians think they are!!! None of us want this!!¡
This might be a very serious question during the upcoming election. There is a larger umbrella that covers this. FCC regulations were changed in 2017 to allow a foreign business to get 100% ownership of broadcast company. Almost all drones broadcast a video signal fro a considerable range. They are in essence a small tv broadcast station. For many years no broadcasting company could be owned by a foreign investor for more than 25%. The limit was officially ended in 2017 by the FCC. It did not involve legislation. The FCC just did it without any real law. The danger of a foreign entity having the ability to own broadcast stations in the US could be a serious problem. Especially a mobile broadcasting station running on software updated repeatedly by a foreign company. This not a question of free trade. The are some real dangers of flying drones operating in this country on software that could be changed by a foreign entity. While the drone can sort of be tracked. The person piloting the drone might not be the only entity capturing that video broadcast. No one could track who received the signal.
So I don't understand, in case they'll ban DJI:
Will I be able to buy DJI GOOGLES and remote and fly some Non DJI fpv drone ???
I was so close to dropping +$15,000 on a DJI drone, batters, thermals, and a few other materials to start a side inspection business.
The timing of this is absolutely unfavorable.
I asked this before but didn’t get a response but how does this affect non DJI (aftermarket) drones with DJI O3 systems and goggles? A response would be appreciated
Hey Justin, Great video and information about the DJI Banned.
I am running out of time to return my brand new 2SE to Sam's Club, if they will even take it back since it is opened, but never flown. I want to use it but don't want it as a $300 paper weight. There is no way to know what the law will be or how long it will take.
So that’s why the air3 is on sale
Yep!
Ban the NDAA instead.
Buy a Potensic Atom, you can fly that anywhere
Current drones are "grandfathered in"? I thought the bill would make the use of FCC frequencies illegal for DJI to use - meaning it would be illegal to fly current DJI drones. This affects my decision to buy the new Avata or not...
Buy it from a retailer and if the ban goes through take it back and demand your money back. I personally pulled the trigger on the avata 2 a week ago from Best Buy. If the ban goes through I fully intend to take it back and tell Geek Squad it's their problem now. Opened and flown, I don't care. They'll take it back if you make a big enough stink, I'm betting on that, clearly.
It will never happen. I could see every drone needs to be registered and have a license. That's coming.
Thank you so much. It was challenging to find information what what happened.
If you bought it from Costco just return it and get your money back
They WILL BAN THEM ABSOLUTELY
If thats happen soon , sell your dji drone and ship other drone,
New Yorkers need to step telling other people what to do…..
NYV needs to stop trying to scam the rest of the nation... Look at Louis Rossmann.. and his trials hes gone through with the NYC business Tax scam. No joke, its a legitimate SCAM set up by NYC officials. Charging business tax on someone who has no business in the STATE... Just to rake in fictitious fines!
Correction she was a conservative a paranoid conservative 😂
This b*tch isn't in my district... Please don't blame all New York State residents. We can't control this idiot.
@@Bryanmallowand not a bright one either... So Skydio lobbyists got to her via her wallet...
Hhhmmm....seems to me that if the Seate allows this to pass. what will stop them from banning any electronics produced in China... IE: Cell phones, laptops computers, etc, etc
No.. Only the ones that transmit on a currently approved FCC frequency.
Time to buy some extra 03 air units
So what do you think man? I was just fixing on getting a mini pro 4 but now I'm not so sure I want to spend the money on a drone that may become obsolete in the near future. Lots of unkowns right now
Should be ok I believe. Crossing my fingers.
What the sigma
This makes no sense at all!!!!!!!!!
I Can’t wait for the Mavic 4!
So if I were to buy a mini 4 now, would that mean it would still work after the bill is signed or that it is not assured? Thanks for keeping us posted!
Most likely it will work it just won't transmit geographic data to the cloud or even record it on its internal storage.
If they are this concerned about a toy,why are we not banning dominion
It's disgusting how these politicians put more into their special interest groups than they do the people they actually work for. 🤬
Today , America is no different than Russia,Iran or north Korea except we have Hollywood putting out great content😡🔥💥🤡☠️💩🌭
What do you call great content coming out of Hollyweird? Asking for a friend.
As someone who just bought a mini 4 pro i am glad if it gets banned. I hated using my Air 2s with my phone, decided to use Litchi app to fly the air2s, it worked fine for a few weeks until it disconnected mid flight and never returned. I bought the mini 4 pro since it uses a smart controller and did not need cellular signal. Took it out on my camping trip and was unable to takeoff without logging in. That just blew my mind, such shady practices, why do i need to login to fly my drone. DJI drones are phenomenal but they use their monopoly to enforce these shady data collection practices and "features" like geo fencing. I hope this bill passes so we get some other companies that can build quality drones at those prices.
In fairness, they did this to gain favor with FCC etc., apparently not very successful. Hoping if they do get banned, they will release a firmware that turns this all off in the US.
Um....no.
Thank you for another update and the somewhat positive spin!
You bet
Thanks for the update 👍
HA HA
Thank you for the update
No worries
I got rid of all my DJI drones 8 months ago the only thing left is the Osmo action camera!😎👍 ..
There are a few other names for Stefanik.
Dji Drones value is going down. It’s time to sale it as soon as possible!!
If anything it will likely do the opposite. Especially if current drones in use are still usable. The resale market is going to be insane. I would love to see some retail discounts though, although I doubt it will happen.
We never should have invested in Chinese tech
Another promotion for Dji from America. People will stock up on Dji products.😂
Good, we give them too much money for that garbage
To be fair, as a DJI owner myself, I have always worried about the security concerns involved and definitely support what the overall goal is. If anything, they just need to get all their HQ outta China. Problem is, there's no way the CCP would allow it, which for obvious reasons increases the likelihood of a security risk existing.
THIS NEWS MAKES MORE SINSE THAN OTHER BROADCAST. THANK YOU.
How many fly DJI to spray fields
I support the ban, China has total remote access and global tensions are high enough they are becoming a potential issue that we have to take decisive action against. Guess I will also be happy that law enforcement pilots might have to actually learn more complex and secure systems, maybe actually learn to actually fly as well. Cinema, military and law enforcement are all better off with fpv pilots than pilots that can only fly with a flight controller doing virtually everything.
Nah, if Dji can't stop sending info overseas, I have to agree with the government on this 1.. especially in this new world order we have going on.. too many enemies, not enough friends.. just like tiktok the info they receive is not only personal to you but also the states
If there’s hard evidence that DJI does use data in nefarious way and do send it out to CCP. Then I agree. If no evidence present which there has been none whatsoever. I disagree with this ban. Besides, I love USA but still, we’re the biggest spy and info hoggers there is in comparison to most countries.
Facebook and others sail info all day long all over the world. Think about it people. We have completely open borders. They are not worried about security, it's political.
Facebook sends and sells user data globally along with numerous other companies. There is no difference. If this company was owned by an ally it would not be under this scrutinization. This is purely a political campaign to monopolize US drone companies which have terrible products.
US government is a bigger enemy to you than any other country at this point
Ok, then turn in your phone. Your smart TV. Your computer. Anything tech that talks to the Internet... Because the threat on national security from this stuff is all the same. Zero. This is all rubbish.
