The Americans are under the impression that the house wants to get this ban(bill) passed before the end of this year ( says 51 drones ) in a video he’s posted & edited with the original posters video on YouTube,
The edited video “ 51 drones “ is cranky to try & understand where he has sped the video up to make it shorter Sounds Like Micky Mouse not that much shorter either
So here’s the original posters below about 38 mins long, just speaking his mind & stating that now maybe is the last chance for the Americans to act,
Anzu Robotics and their Kermit-green DJI drones are caught by this too:
Interesting too, that they’ve changed this to now ban everything by default and require specific exclusion be made:
The audible version of what’s happening with this saga, I keep seeing these videos pop up & this guys voice goes right through my ears but seems the most explanatory I’ve watched so far,
A statement from DJI today:
What happened to the phrase ‘The land of the free.’ I feel sorry for the many hobbiests and pro drone pilots in the US, simply enjoying the superb drone tech DJI produce.
Oh well, they can take up another hobby, I guess and buy a gun from the local market and shoot the hell out of stuff instead.
There is no ban, from what I have read around the web, only a stay of 12 months before the US Govt then puts it to the Chinese and asks them to prove that their drones do not pose a security risk to the US. It doesn’t affect current owners, users etc. it does look like an attempt by some powers that be in the US to ban imports from what has become the most popular drone manufacturer.
