Dear Russ @ 51 Drones, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your fantastic content. Your KZfaq channel has been an invaluable resource for drone enthusiasts like me. Whether it’s learning about the latest drones, understanding Part 107 regulations, or exploring creative ways to use these flying marvels, your videos have been both informative and entertaining. Your dedication to sharing your experiences, tips, and insights has made a significant impact on the drone community. From practical advice on launching and landing to discussing the business aspects of drone piloting, you’ve covered it all. Your passion shines through, and it’s contagious! I especially appreciate your video on “4 Tips for New Drone Pilots.” The emphasis on safety, battery management, and SD card space was incredibly helpful. And let’s not forget the essential reminder about FAA compliance - we all want to avoid those surprise letters in the mail! Thank you for being a beacon of knowledge and inspiration. Keep soaring high, and may your propellers always spin smoothly! Warm regards, Larry 🚁

Can’t help but notice all the Law Enforcement and Military that utilize DJI Drones in the field by where I reside. It’s not a mistake that DJI offers them something that US Drone Manufacturers can’t seem to match. If anything, they’ll just charge higher import taxes and require a more in depth remote ID. Not at all worried and just bought a new DJI drone last week! 😂

I suspect two things. Its always follow the money. Skydio cant compete and pulls out of the mid price drone market, then suddenly their fingerprints are all over a ban of the competitor they couldn't beat. Also big companies want to be able to go to drone delivery, to not have to pay all those pesky delivery drivers. I would be shocked if there arent huge bribes getting spread around congress to get those things done. Two separate interests that need the same starting line, and theres a lot of money to be made if they get the dji ban done.

I don't know if this is true, but I am worried because I am presently trying to get a contract with an agricultural government agency and I'm afraid that I won't be able to use a DJI multispectral drone. That's an area of concern that has not been discussed, but many government contractors will be at risk if government agencies can ban DJI drones.

The Chinese car makers keep on innovating without the US market. What makes you think that DJI can't do the same when it already commands >70% of the drone market in the world? Keep in mind that their revenue in China alone is already bigger than the US one as of 2 years ago. Sure it'll dent their revenue. But their home market is big enough to guarantee that they won't slow down. It'll be us in the US struggling to find replacements for the same price point.

@deezeed2817 27 күн бұрын

Australia and the U.S are not the same type of market. The Americans are implementing full scale protectionist measures over geostrategic competition with China. Australia has no industry to protect. Chinese cars have been allowed to be sold on the local market, Does Australia design and manufacture drones? The answer is of course not thus why would the government implement such a ban? It would trigger antagonism with China whilst also angering farmers and other civilian drone operators who rely on them to do their work. When it comes to these bans i think America will most likely stand alone. You might see some limited restrictions by U.S allies but from what i've seen they've already been dragged through the mud through Russia/Ukraine as well as the Middle East/Gaza/Red Sea crisis. They simply have no appetite to implement the wholesale banning like what we're seeing in the U.S.

If flying a drone (or ANY other activity) creates a danger for other users (paragliders, aircrafts, parachuters, animals, etc.), then a regulation is necessary. This is what is named "society", "living together", "collectivity"... name that as you wish, the concept is easy to understand. Alternatively, everywhere in the World there are many islands awaiting for population... anyone can pick their island of choice, and do whatever they want without disturbing anyone around.

You're living in the future! Flying an unreleased drone... 👀🤘

That's impressive considering they aren't even being released this year.

Thank you for your time and effort! It's truly exhausting if you let yourself buy into it too deeply! Let's get back to flying..

if they are so concerned about China, maybe you shouldn't release 30,000 Chinese into the country illegally.

Why aren’t they trying to ban Chinese ownership of land near military installations?

Dji will just find another company to sell their stuff under a different name. They already have done it before.

Are you just now coming to this theory?

Drone footage they say they worry about but you have to believe thousands more of those cheap Chinese made security cameras are being sold everyday and since they all use the UIN to set them up there’s no telling how many Chinese servers all of that footage is passing through.

After making money with these it’s sometimes hard to remember the pure joy of flight. Thanks for reminding me.

It is no shock that this legislation drama came at the same time Brinc announced its new first responder systems and skydio is putting out first responder ads for thier new drones

There will never be a delivery drone highway....Too many weather variables to keep it from happening.

@deanstainbrook2839 27 күн бұрын

Agreed, and if they are really worried about the 1 to 2 million recreational drones, what about the billions of birds that fly around LOL, I have yet to see another drone fly near me but I see great horned owl, bold eagles, hawks, ravens, crows etc... will they be passing a bill to ground those as well so they can deliver a package via their delivery drones?

I'm less worried about the ban than I am the karens (male and female) that will hear those words and attack me as I try to fly. People are getting nuts out there, feeling emboldened and physically attacking people who may be doing things THEY don't feel is right. I don't walk around filming people, but seeing videos of people physically attacking those who choose to do that makes me worry. I have had arguments with people who seem to feel that when I am 200 feet high I can see inside a home window to spy on them. I show them the image and they're totally confused, because they just know from what they have been told that the only reason a drone is there is to spy on them. I've had threats from people saying "fly over my property and I'll shoot your drone out of the air." Never actually heard of someone trying, but its only a matter of time before its going to happen. People are ignorant and entitled, so watch your backs out there when you fly.
