Chinese drone industry ârapidly losing market share to Skydioâ 
What, because Skydio sold a few drones to Taiwan ? 
What did American drone manufacturers think was going to happen ? Tit for tat happens all the time 
No, itâs because Skydio sold a few hundred million dollars worth to the US Government.
Plus Skydio is the driving force pushing for the DJI ban
Ahh, that explains a lot.
Iâve just read a couple of reviews of the Skydio 2 , glad I bought a DJI
Only used for Ukraine intelligence reconnaissance⌠and emergency servicesâŚ
I think that story ends âand they all lived happily ever afterâ well according to the other fairytales Iâve read.
Sold Gave them 
$7.6 million to fund police department purchases over the last few years,. 
Yeah but how long before this government follow suite or find away to tax us per flight 
Never and⌠never.
Hi all.
Whatâs the chance/likelihood of DJI drones being banned in the US and the UK following recent political developments?
Read all about it here in this thread on that very topic.
We all know what The Donald thinks of China
they wonât be banned here, we donât have a drone industry we are trying to push.
60% tariff on all Chinese imports will be a killer for imports into china
No, they wonât be banned or tariffed out here or anywhere else but the US, but Iâd be very surprised if there isnât a Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, or Taiwanese competitor to DJI on a serious level over the next few years that is ready to play ball with the US government to access that market. DJIâs world domination is unparalleled in any other industry marketing to general public consumers, and is a fairly unnatural situation; monopolies do not tend to last long unless they are in strongly centrally controlled economies, and those are highly unfashionable deze daze!
I canât see any Western company equalling the culture of investment in design and innovation that DJI have been so proficient in (we want profits, now!!!), but some of their nearer neighbours might well prove up to the task!
Kinda sums some of this up, 20 min or so video( documentary) maybe worth a watch,
Interesting.
How is this thing with DJI, any different to other well known tech brands (Google, Ring, Alexa, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, etcâŚ.)
Would we even know, if these brands had been gathering info, and if they were, weâve all learned to trust them, so itâs too late.
One word skydio
Military yes 
will they go back to Joe public and at what cost ?
From Google
**It currently assembles the majority of Appleâs iPhones in its Shenzen, China, Location ,
Me reckons itâs all about the dollar & USA being greedy, if DJI is a security threat than as you say with the likes of Apple - Google etc so yep would be too late now,
Whereâs DJI made âŚ. Shenzen lol
Amazon Alexa is another proven vulnerability for china to snoop and few third-party apps are dodgy.
Itâs America hate domintion by one company where they cannot compete due to part prices so always able to undercut other prices take a loss as startup companies never have enough financial resources.
