I wish more American companies delivered a product and service as great as DJI does.
American companies would outsource their drone production to China anyway.
Yaaay American business. !
@@djwak59
exactly right.
U and I would do the same had we been owners of such manufacturers .
My original DJI Avata has better video than my Autel EVO II. Autel is like 5-6 years behind in quality and same with any other American based drone company. Totally sucks they're pulling these shenanigans.
You can see companies that try to compete with DJI can do so, but not anywhere near the price point and the price is what is keeping them out of the market. PERIOD.
America acting like all of it's tech and communication companies don't sell people's information to the highest bidder. 😂
So true
Americas tech companies wouldn’t be forced by China to shut down every phone tablet, network and desktop that’s ever been connected to a DJI , Tik Tok, bytedancesoftware in the event of war.. people think Apple and Google’s privacy checkboxes protect them but that’s a joke.. if it’s ever been installed it sits there like a Trojan horse just waiting to be activated.. this is why those in the know say if it’s ever been installed just throw it away and get a new phone.. and believe me I work professionally every day with DJI products and wish this wasn’t so.. not sure why no one talks about this real reason
Gotta wonder how much of Zuck's 195 billion is our data?
Sadly it's completely political than about security.
Blatant political sensationalism at its worst.
This is the FIRST I've heard about the ban, I just flew my mini 3 pro for the first time and a while and was like "Man this drone and screen controller are amazing, DJI is such a cool company!" I would HATE for this to happen. so tired of these politicians just sucking off companies. They don't care about security or whatever, it's just about who's giving them money.
Exactly
Watch which politicians/companies have invested in American drone companies lately... BAN the DJI, the biggest company in America, and BOOM.... people make billions.
You can thank Elise Stefanik and her GOP goons for trying to control the skies.
Once again, google maps shows a lot more detail than my drone.
Oh Brian, stop making sense....LOL
Exactly🎉
Exactly. Add to that all the people posting videos and photos on social media which anyone can access and it makes their attempted ban look even more stupid.
You already are not allowed to fly in certain areas and they will monitor for drones there plus DJI drones won’t go there due to geofencing anyway.
The amount of data the chinese government could get from flight logs is overwhelming and would be very difficult to get anything useful from since the vast majority of flights, probably greater than 99 % are just normal recreational or commercial flights with no sensitive information.
They also haven’t released any evidence that the drones are spying anyway, neither the government or third party security researchers, which makes it look very odd.
So you have a parrot Bebop? 🤦♂️🤣
Bro. You can literally walk around every street in China on Google Earth VR
Sadly crickets listen to constituents better than US politicians.
My rep listened. He doesn't support the comprehensive, across the board ban without any proof of illegal information gathering. He does support the American drone security act though. That act only bans purchase of foreign drones by most federal agencies. But it also has exemptions for NOAA, dept of transportation and the FAA for areas where not using them would compromise public safety. It does not ban anything below the federal level.
I disagree, if you approach the Members in ways that encourage their attention. It requires work, such as visiting their offices, writing an op-ed in the local newspaper, or hand-writing a letter. A preprinted postcard is guaranteed to land in the "don't waste time on this" bin.
That works both ways. Politician’s constituents don’t have to listen or rather follow their bs laws either. I guess we can add this to the list of felonies people supposedly commit every day.
BTW, does anyone else think it’s convenient that they want to ban a product right after they make the product signal the government every time it gets activated?
I have a question. Wasn't Remote ID created so that our government can monitor every drone with a camera that flies in US Airspace?
With Remote ID, all active DJI drones are already being monitored by our government. Which makes Congresses case for National Security Moot.
@@HawaiiAerialProductions on top of that, what use is most peoples flight data to China? You already are not allowed to fly in certain sensitive areas and they will be monitoring for drones anyway.
There is no "educating" our political leaders. This is all nonsense.
They do what they want to do. They don't care what people want.
Look no further than gun laws.
You have to actually have some data to educate them with. Some fact. Not just the opinion and crying bc your drone will not be FCC approved. You you have any first hand information on what data your drone collects? Do you have any examples of data that is sent to the DJI servers? It sends something because you can't fly the thing if your drone isn't up to date. It doesn't just know that by using the force. The fact is you don't know and are just making an uneducated argument.
Thank you, Russ, for your continued work in keeping the drone community informed. I'll write to my senators with links to hopefully educate our government officials. Continued prayers for your wife's recovery and for your family🙏
Appreciate you Steve!
Thank you for sharing this information and for asking people to take action!
Thank you, Russ, for all that you do for the community. 🙏
Hey Russ,
Thanks for all your videos, really have a lot of good content. I have a quick question and would like your take on this. Concerning the DJI Ban. If I had a couple of new DJI drones in storage and the ban moves forward and I were to want to fly one of the new drones with the ban in place would these be of any use. In other words what about the firmware updates support etc. Do you think this would fly right out of the box. Would these even be usable in your opinion.
I really hope I can still fly my brand new DJI Drone, I've been wanting one for so long and I just got one a few weeks ago!!!!!
We just posted on our Forj'd Media IG page and tagged her. We invited you to collab as well. I was on the phone Friday for over an hour with my Representative's office ( Rick Allen ).
This is truly horrible what our elected officials are doing. Thank you for continuing to look out for us. You rock brother.
Well done! I'm composing letters today and will send them over ASAP! Thanks!
I have sent a total of 9 emails to my reps. on the anti-DJI bill.
I havnt synced my logs and i have have been erasing them after every flught for over 2 years.
This is what everyone should do, or at least back them up to make them private.
@@kayakuprising5914 you dont even need it. It's a waste. Do u log yourself when u drive to the store or walk to the mailbox?
There will never be a war between China and America. A lot of things we depend on every day are made in China. And wouldn't cut their throats because they depend on the US for income. And if phones can bring up items in your view that you were having a conversation about with someone else in the room, I wouldn't doubt it with DJI products. The DJI ban is being pushed by the competition, not security. Yes I own a DJI drone. And I plan on upgrading soon with another DJI drone.
Love the shoutout to Meatchurch! Awesome guy! Thanks for the update. We watch everything you do….have for several years.
Thanks for continuing to make videos about this topic. It's important for all of us in the professional or hobbyist drone community to understand this issue.
Thank you for continuing this fight.
Way to go Russ. I've been a sub for years and watch you often. Thank you for details to this bill. I have several DJI products. Reading the comments from others, I think we all understand what this is really about. Congrats on your channel growth and keep on going brother!
It's going to the House of Representatives first, not the Senate. This would need to go through the House, *then* the Senate, then signed into law. Just to clarify things, because even if the House passes it, it has a few more hurdles. So contact your *representatives* first, then your Senators if this passes the House!
Yes, understood. But the bill is to be included in the NDAA.
Actually, there is another bill in the Senate, it goes to both houses these days, then they use "the reconciliation rules" to merge them to be signed by the president. Been doing this since 1998 with all "Finance" bills.
The NDAA has already been reported out of committee. In the House, the opportunity to amend bills once reported is very limited. Not so in the Senate. Go for both houses if only to raise awareness of the anti-DJI campaign, but blocking this particular language is likely going to have to be done in the Senate, and then again in the subsequent House/Senate conference that comes up with the NDAA's final language.
🙂❤👍If this Ban Passes in the United States it will happen in Canada I hope it never goes through don't let this Bill Pass. Watching from NB Canada 🙂🙂
What part of NB are you from? I am from Bathurst.
Watching from Winnipeg, Canada
I can’t imagine this madness would happen in Canada, completely different culture and mindset over there thankfully
Flight log data is an invaluable aid to all drone owners in the same way that airline operators use the data collected during every flight by the Digital Flight Data Recorder. Its use is in analysis of the drone’s performance during the flight and the battery’s performance down to the individual cells that make up the pack. It records the flight’s path in 3D so you can replay it as a layer in Google Earth. I use these info to educate myself and improve on future flights and to be aware of my battery’s performance from a maintenance standpoint. These flight data is used by DJI when there’s a Care Refresh claim. They are not just taking your word that you just had a catastrophic crash or flyaway.
BTW, I’m from Surrey, BC
Yep, when the U.S. farts we get to enjoy the smell.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Well done Russ thanks for this summary - let’s keep our fingers crossed 🤞 Whilst I’m based in the UK, when the US sneezes, Britain soon also catches a cold, so hopefully things go in the right direction for all of us that enjoy this hobby! Good luck to all of you in the US - we’re counting on you!🖖
If they ban DJI I will just not fly drones. No way in hell I’m buying skydio when they try to compete by cheating.
What about airdata and other apps that get your flight logs?
Thank you, Russ, and blessings to you and your family 🙏🏾
There is a lot of $$$ lobbying by Skydio to MAGA Elise Stefanik
Stefanik is a Trump stooge, as you mentioned.
I’m glad you’re able to get away with posting this without TH-cam censoring you for being too political. Thanks for speaking FACTS.
I own the DJI Air 3, such an awesome drone, I don't want to stop flying my drone!
Was going to comment on old post thought this would be better. Ecoflow delta 2 running a great deal on their generators just got the Delta 2 with 2 100watt panels for 769$ (plus tax) shipped free to my door
Where
Love DJI It has a Apple feel to them in a good way. Everybody that has owned a Mac knows.
Russ, I have not been able to update my flight data center information for "Total Distance", "Total Flight Time" and "Total Flights" on my RC2 and app on my DJI Fly app on my cell phone for my Air 3, since 06/18/24. The individual flights show since but is not updated to the top line of the "Flight Data Center" screen. Is this part of DJI not allowing flight data records to be synced to DJI? Is there something that I need to do to update it on my controller and app on my phone? I find this extremely usefull and use the data to keep track when I think I should change my propeller blades.
Been following all your updates! Keep up the great work!
All I want to do is enjoy my Birds Eye View.
Russ, thank you again for you diligence In the Drone arena. As a DJI PILOT myself is is invaluable!!! Cheers!!!😊
Thank you Rus for this informative video. Shared with all my drone buddies here in Kentucky
Thank you so much for this video!
As a Filipino whose lands are being literally invaded by the Chinese government, I am far from a sympathizer of their government. But I am definitely anti-protectionism, especially one that is not reasonable or too well thought out, and I love my DJI drone(s), which, sadly I do not fly in the USA because of the complicated FAA laws and regulations.
Due to scheduling global travel issues, I have not been able to take my FAA Part 107 license, which is the main reason why I do not fly my drone in the USA. I do earn a small income from my photography, although so far not with any drone images.
It is so sad that the current administration and, now it seems, the GOP alternative, are both protectionist in their outlook: Biden is trying to protect Tesla from Chinese EV cars. All that protectionism does is harm competition, harms consumers (we deserve the best/better products), and hurts entrepreneurs like yourself.
I truly hope the legislation will not pass the Senate (I read that it just passed by a small margin in the House) and that DJI will continue to see and do business in the USA.
I am glad that DJI is making this move, which also protects our privacy, and hopefully allows their company to continue to sell products in the USA.
Thankfully, a DJI ban is not even in the radar in the Philippines. Whew!
DJI is awesome. Leave them alone ya bullies. Security concerns 😟. Like I'm a lot more concerned with the US then with China concerning my security 🙄. Thanks for your honest & informative upload. Love from Australia ♥️
The Freedom Is gone in USA... It's like a banana republic 😢
Great videos Russ!! We need to figure out how to stop! Skydio from doing what it’s doing against DJI!!!.and for whatever going to happen with the upcoming election hoopla.this is the reason why we are worried about the ban..once again thank you Russ for all your hard work,and still thoughts and prayers for your wife’s speedy recovery..
It's not going to matter, I'm telling ya, unless someone outside of China buys the whole DJI operation, it will no longer exist in a couple years. China's economy is about to start circling the drain, we're talking a financial collapse a magnitude of 7-8 times what our great depression was, the govt. after that, probably a civil war or Chinese Revolution 2.0. If you get anything from China no a regular basis, better stock up while ya can.
How will this affect getting warranty claims for an issue that the drone had mid flight ???
Whatever DJI do, the politician is going to ask how are you sure the data are not transmitted behind the scene. Feeling sorry for those who own/wants/making a living with DJI drone.
Such a professional presentation and explanation. Thanks for this video. I had no idea of this law.
How can I download my flight logs I have synced? I want to keep them.
Thank You for the update !
Good Work !
Russ, message heard loud & clear... thanks for much for breaking it all down for us.... and FYI... love the t-shirt!
Short answer. No, they didn't. The bill is getting passed.
It won't matter...it never was about that at all
Am in Jamaica and am happy for y'all this is good news for DJI
Lol, when I was being investigated I literally told the kid I've never been over 2k-ft away & if I did the data would be with the manufacture. I was loving RID b/c I didn't fly over any prisons.
They're "worried" about the Chinese collecting data, but A.I. is the next new technology?
Yes Russ! Keep doing what you are doing! Your tutorials and news updates are a big part of informing the drone community. Not to bring up politics but this congress woman is doing this for self-interests not even thinking about the consequences. We need to show the house and senate that HR 2864 has no legitimacy and just a waste of time and money. I hope you and your family are doing well and thank you. Cheers, Brendan 🤟😎👍
Ok, question. Everywhere I read except the bill claims this is a ban.
The Secure and Trusted Communications Network Act is for federally funded entities is it not?
I understand this bill is scary and a step in the wrong direction, but it just adds DJI to list. It’s not a flat out ban for civilians.
I just took action! Thank you for this video, & for making the others! Yeah, it's a huge & serious issue!
Unfortunately no and I fully expect that eventually all DJI drones will be completely grounded by the FCC revoking the radio frequency authorizations. Our government doesn't give a crap about drone business owners or recreational flyers. I usually am not a negative person but this is the reality that we live in 🙁. Buying a DJI drone at this point is a huge gamble that you are buying a product that will become a paperweight.
I pay $15 a month for a premium Google TH-cam subscription so I don't have to listen to commercials but you feel you have to give me one anyhow.
you'll live
Thank you for talking about the us banning DJI. I really hope that doesn’t happen because I love to fly DJI drones and collect nice cinematic footage. When I was 9 years old in 2015 I used to fly sky viper drones wishing I had a DJI drone but my mom couldn’t afford it and now ever since I got my own DJI drone I have been worried if DJI is going to be banned. I am just letting you know that I will do anything to help prevent DJI from being banned. Thank you for explaining everything you know about the us banning DJI
If they (us companies) can't beat them with innovation, they will use legislation.
Exactly what one company is doing.
I agree about her trying to work for trump
I'm glad DJI is disabling the upload of flight data. That always made me uncomfortable. I never understood what the point of that was. Maybe you can make a video explaining what that was all about? In any case, you are right, this should shut up the politicians trying to ban DJI, but only if WE educate them.
I am thinking that if you have a carefresh policy and crash or have a flyaway, then that is when dji needs your logs or they may not pay up.
Mee too, too bad it took this much to make them stop it.
It's also nice, because all your different drones can have a unified system for cloud based flight logs. That way you can check any of them without even having access to any of your drones. If one was stolen for example, and connected to internet, you could see the log and flight location.
The bill has already been passed.
It is all about the airspace below 400ft. Nothing more or less.
Haha! One of my best friends is Matt Pittman! Known that guy for almost 35 years. Meatchurch!!!
Just did again Russ for the third time.Thanks for the link and thank you for the awesome content. 👍👍👍
I'm currently paying on my DJI drone and would hate to pay for a paper weight. This is a hobby that I am new at and have been enjoying myself.
Well the answer was no, NDAA went through yesterday. This has been coming for 7 years.
Thank you for the up date on this issue.
Reminds me of all the hub bub around Huawei networking. Also, the whole surveillance camera thing too. It's only been a few years, how is it that no one remembers these cases that are super similar!?
This will crush agricultural drone spraying. I know people with 500k into their business and it will be worthless
What does turning off the sync with dji do to those of us who have a carefresh policy. If Dji does not have access to your logs, will they pay for a crash or flyaway?
They already don't "have access". You have to connect the drone to an internet connection and upload the logs for them to actually be able to see them. They still stay locally either way, so probably they'll just want you to send a copy of the specific log in question. Maybe just an attachment option on a submittal form.
Nope, it's time to graduate to big boy drone world where we fix em ourselves! Trust me it's way better, I haven't
connected my Mavics and DJI 550 to the internet in years.
Thanks for the info! Will definitely pass it on!
Thanks for the quick reply...really enjoy the channel!
Thank you for saving us, Russell 🎉❤
😂 Always the class clown.🤡
I would officially answer NOPE and thats because national security was NEVER the issue/ reason for doing this. Thats true more than ever after Stefaniks comments about Anzu Robotics also being included in the ban.
LOL great video... if they will push the bill come and live in the Netherlands and we will keep flying drones 😂😂😂
If fly away coverage requires flight data then how are we supposed to replace a fly away with no flught records synced to dji
Up until now I was assuming this was ban on sales and/or importation of DJI drones into the US. While that would be bad enough, I did not think in terms of it being effectively a ban on the use of drones that we already own. The proposed legislation would "block DJI’s drones from running on communications infrastructure in the U.S." What communications infrastructure are we talking about exactly? Most of my flying has been in remote areas with no wifi or cell service. I have seen articles that suggest the drone would be effectively unusable, but I don't see how that is the case. What am I missing?
It's just BS. Your current drones are fine. They have no way of remotely disabling them, or seeing a log of if you sent any signal to or from them. You will be able to keep flying any drone that uses a local controller connection. If you were using cell service or some internet server to remotely control it, THEN maybe they could stop you.
Aside from all the politics, you can hardly blame an American company from wanting the government to help them remove foreign competition, when the only reason America has foreign competition for anything, is because that same government gave those countries our economy against our will in the 1st place.
You present a very valid argument.
Another great video! My DJI Care Refresh is up for renewal. I'm half afraid to renew it
What is it that you cannot get from Google Earth that you can get from a DJI drone doesn't make sense at all
Question for Comment - With the death of the Chevron Doctrine will the FAA rules regarding drones be rolled back? i.e. Drone Tracking, Lighting, etc.
I'm a recreational flyer but only use DJI because there's really no better affordable option
Keep your videos coming great information
Really appreciate the information you provided and I acted on it. Thanks again.
Very interesting - thanks very much for the information. I have one observation and two questions:
1. I have no doubt that DJI are being open and trustworthy with this statement of not allowing flight data to be uploaded, but the people that believe DJI are a threat to national security are just going to say "Ah, well, how do we know that there aren't other software capabilities that we can't identify, that will still upload sensitive data?"
2. I'm a UK citizen and I live in Spain, so I'm hoping that my ability to upload data to DJI won't be affected by this. However, if a US operator takes his UAV to somewhere outside the US, will he then be able to upload data to DJI?
2. How will this affect uploading flight and hardware data to Airdata? I rely on Airdata for managing my flight records and maintenance schedules?
Thankyou Russ Really appreciate it ❤️
How about allowing the option to sync with US cloud service? iCloud? Google Drive? Etc???
I would love to see a review of the EchoFlow Alternator Charger.
Wait how will this affect DJI Care Refresh? If they can’t access flight records, how will they know the drone flew away
Can you do an update after the house passed it?
So the ban passed the House. Will it pass the senate and what does it mean for Part 107 or hobbiests?
I hope this means they will also make the logs available so they are unencrypted now too then specifically the mavic3
They helped their case but will politicians listen
Thank you for the update information.
As I'm voting for Trump, I feel like I need to hear the other side of this story as well
how does this data link impact fly-aways etc?
That's the million dollar question.
Honestly, maybe you won't say it and I don't blame you but personally, I could care less. This was all inside trading to boost Skydio. Politicians on both sides of the fence stand to make billions.
Google doing their part by withdrawing DJI apps doesn't help the customer either.
Thanks for fighting the good fight, we are here to fight the power with ya! I’m all for sense making policies but this one is a clear foul when it comes to doing right by the American people! And if not show evidence!
Will the changes that DJI implement have any impact on those us outside America? It's scary thinking how DJI plans to make changes to programs that would only impact Americans. How would this impact travellers travelling to America who would seriously like to keep data collected?
