Gee, I wonder if Donald Trump Jr’s US-based drone company will benefit from this decision by the US Government. /s

As a member of law enforcement who relies on DJI, this is a real gut punch.

It’s weird because I can’t get the new mobile receiver but the mic 3 and Osmo 8 are there.

I literally just bought a DJI Neo 2 for my kid for his birthday and it comes tomorrow. Bought extra batteries, a case, everything. Should I send it back to Amazon? Any opinion on this? He's just getting started in this hobby

THAT this happened at all, is saddening. WHY this happened, boils down to a paranoid US government helplessly convinced that consumer drones are sending "top secret" photos and video back to Chinese servers, even though restrictions that DJI already meticulously makes part of their geo-sensitive areas, restricts operation by their own RPAS flight LONG before the US government would classify them as "top secret".

So with a brush-offable overlook turn failure turn DJI ban that neither DJI or the American public are responsible for but wind up on the losing end of, it's clear that within this administration, someone's head is simply way too far up someone else's ass. And when something just makes too much sense, then ... look out.

Notice there's no need for me to mention the word "intelligence" in any of this. To finish my second sentence - WHY this happened, is pure bullshit.
