Hopefully any drones that are already registered prior to the ban ( if it goes through ) are still grandfathered in and are able to fly. If so, I'm gonna buy an upgrade for sure

why is the link not working for me on several computers or apps?

I don’t feel it will pass however if it doesn’t I wonder if the dji app will still be available so we can use our existing drone. I understand we couldn’t purchase no ones

Great. Thanks for letting us know. I just did it. Thanks to you.

Unbiased here....I own a dji, enjoy it. Compared to other brands in its class its normally the best for the price, but I also understand that it's a eye in the sky and can potentially be used for a Chinese spying device. I have no desire to assist in the downfall of my country.

Drones in combination with thermal imaging may be one of the most important tools considering warfare. Just look at the war in Ukraine. I can see why a consumer would want to buy American made, not government made.

Can anyone on the thread explain what personal information the DJI app alone, collects? Probably not, and we probably underestimate it. This is basically a cold war, fought in cyber, for now.

Did it 👍✌️

look. i've got the dji mavic pro og. i literally fly it at airports taking shots of planes (from above). I've done this for years. And they have never noticed. So i'm never selling it. (ps. I dont live in a village..the airport is large +2mill residents in the city).

Thank you for trying so hard for all of us, those who love to fly and those who are paid to fly. My heart goes out to you and other people whose lives depend on flying drones. Unfortunately none of our lawmakers seem passionate about protecting any people who use these products. I wonder what the percentage of drones out in our nation will or could be impacted. Let’s remember. There is a large body of interests, both from the recreational, corporate and civil sectors who will fight any legislation that attempts to, in a draconian way, ground all drones with Chinese chips in them. I also don’t want to add to the fear around this, but the House recently voted on their bill around this topic, and their vote was 100%. I am only one person. I recently bought two DJI drones and have just been starting to enjoy flight. It’s amazing. But I do believe that not if but when the Senate votes, they will also vote to ground the drones I am speaking of in this post. Remember that large group of interested parties that I just mentioned? There will likely be multiple lawsuits challenging this ill founded legislation. With a little luck they will find a judge that will put a stay on the impact of the new legislation (which I fully expect Biden to sign). If this happens we will continue to fly while the finer points of the legislation are debated in court. Let’s all pray that it can be worked out.

Let’s be honest here who’s more of a threat the licensed drone pilot with a very strict set of regulations that you have to follow? Or the self-proclaimed “auditor” who takes cell phones into local, state, and federal buildings filming everything crying about their 1st Amendment rights and posting it KZread, Facebook, instagram, or TikTok? As business owners we pay our taxes those “auditors” are looking for clout! I don’t care what side of the isle you stand on, now is the time we come together and keep our businesses going! I read DJI is taking all measures necessary to keep us in the air even going as far as taking off the flight logs from the controllers and app.

@@deaconmoudy7707 Many FPV drone fliers design and build their own drones, although the motors, flight controllers, transmitter and cameras are made in China or maybe other asian countries like Taiwan. The flight controllers in most are very simple and require a transmitter within line of sight to activate the drone. China doesn't have a magic thingy in the sky that can transmit and receive all this data you think they can. For China to make it to American soil with an Army large enough to take control of these drones on US soil would be an amazing feet considering the size of the US Navy and it's capabilities. I believe that politicians have seen what Ukraine and Russia are doing with drones and they are scared it could happen here.
