Congress is currently considering H.R. 2864 (Countering CCP Drones Act) which would block new DJI products from entering the US market, and could potentially ground existing drones as well.
This webinar was held on June 10, 2024 with key leaders from Rantizo, Pegasus, HSE, Bestway Ag, Drone Nerds and Agri Spray Drones.

This will have an impact throughout the world. Please keep working for a sensible solution, banning DGI will have a negative impact on agriculture and rural communities everywhere. Thank you from New Zealand and Australia for your efforts.
Guys, welcome to the lobby. This all started actually under NDAA 2020. I should know. I was 1 of a 37 panel headed by Sec Ellen Lord that wrote the NDAA that started the process. I myself know that the US can’t compete. Price point would be through the roof.
Unmanned agricultural drones can significantly reduce fatal accidents involving manned airplanes or helicopters in the USA, saving dozens of lives each year and preventing the resulting impact on their families.
And I would add that this has finally happened because of AUVSI and Joe Bartlett of Skydio; in which he works closely with Elise that introduced this bill.
The bill is only being introduced. Not the first time this has happened. Has not passed the House or the Senate yet. Not even been voted on yet

The fact that this isn’t the first time it’s happened should be even more reason for concern. Anti-China sentiment has been on the rise and this bill has only gained momentum. People paying attention aren’t going to buy any DJI products till the bill fails, IF it fails so it’s already having an impact. DJI’s ban is attached to the 2025 NDAA, a much larger bill that funds the US Department of Defense for fiscal year 2025. This is an extremely important bill that makes it hard to not pass. The NDAA moved through several committees on its way to being given the green light for the full House vote. I’m sorry but it’s likely to pass.
Scratch one of those "experts". HSE-UAV is grounded because they can't follow instructions.
Steve Dixon of Full Throttle Aerial. I spent the last 5 years in the defense department. I am here to tell ya that this is all a sham. The only reason they want to ban DJI is because of lobby money. They are being paid by companies like Hylio and Skydio; even though those companies still use Chinese hardware. Hylio is 100% Chinese
Sorry but DJI is the king of drones…
Too little, too late. I’m really sorry to be so pessimistic but releasing this the day before the senate votes on it is a pretty pathetic attempt considering your whole business model revolves around selling and servicing these drones. Where was all this effort when the bill was drafted and introduced? I guess no one actually took it seriously. Relying on the gov to use common sense is a losing battle so good luck lol
Ban all DJI!! Permanently.
