PEnns Makes you wonder what research or evidence our government relied on when declaring this product (and others) a "National Security Threat". Reply

DJI was called a threat by default, because the government never actually did the audit required by law within the necessary timeframe. Presumably they were worried it wouldn't turn up whatever they were looking for. Reply
Notton I'm not saying there's a pattern, but usually some rich guy will complain to the white house, and a few days later said things get banned. be it DJI, routers, or a cross-border bridge. Reply

In this case it was largely thanks to lobbying efforts by Skydio and their ceo Adam Bry, who went out of his way to get as much of Skydio's competiton in the US eliminated by regulatory action as possible, while simultaneously pulling out of the consumer market. For someone who's supposedly a "drone enthusiast", Adam Bry really doesn't seem to want anyone else to be able to fly drones. Classic ladder pulling. Reply
endocine Well there is this though : "While DJI maintains that the OnDefend audit was conducted independently, DJI did authorize and pay for it, and the overall arrangement differs from a government-directed review, which would have been conducted under federal oversight with no financial relationship to the subject." That's about the same as a major pharma company funding a study on a new drug. Doesn't mean it isn't valid, but uh…. Reply

And I was right on the edge of buying a Skydio when they pulled out of the consumer market. Like…days edge. Reply
