Oh my God. I have visions going back over 50 years from these 2 devices. How can that be? Drones like this didn't exist 50 years ago. That's right they did not. But something else did. We flew these also. Yes they were called, Ampex Tape Recorders. And they recorded a lot of it records. Bing Crosby purchased the first 6. But in the early 1970s. This other company. On the other side of the United States from Redwood City, California in, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Had started off. As a rock 'n roll music store. Selling guitars and stuff. And this guy. Decided to build. Some, transistor, tape recorder channels. So you could replace. The old, vacuum tube electronics. And what better electronics to make? Then the, Ampex, A G-440, tape recorder electronics. And called the JH-5. Later they made, 8 and 16 and 24 track recorders. All using the same Ampex electronics. So cloned, so identical. You could swap, the circuit boards. From your MCI. And plug them into your Ampex. And you could take your Ampex circuit boards. And plug them into your MCI. And I always wondered how they got away with that? But I guess the circuitry was all in the Public Domain? Except they ordered the same circuit boards. The same parts. The identical parts. The identical circuit boards. One said, MCI the others said, Ampex. But they were interchangeable. And so that's what I'm seeing right here. Battery swaps. It's a perfect clone. Only the software is different. But in all reality, in the end. These are not worth the price. These are more costly than the, DJI, product line. These are stupid more expensive. And they are coming from the same damned, Chinese manufacturer. And perhaps not? And that's why they are so much more expensive. And to be certain. Some Americans are involved. That's why they are so much more expensive. Pockets need to be lined. So this is a bolstered product nobody should purchase. But only to get around the, united states banning of, DJI. And so you're going to pay for it. To get the same thing in green. Because these Chinese are going to sell their stuff to Americans. Anyway they have to. It has no, Geo locking. That's why it's so much more expensive. So you can, get away with the, restricted, illegal stuff. And then you can go race airplanes, at airports. Because they are unrestricted. So we all knew this was going to happen at twice the price. Because the US government will not cut into their profit making. As a communist country. How else are they going to get American dollars by the billions? They just came out with a new toy for Americans. And this one is even more expensive. And an identical clone. So this is only for the wealthiest and sickest of minds. For adult children that want to play. RemyRAD
@candrone if you are willing to flash Mavic firmware to your Raptor please let me know. We'd like to further show how close to each other they are, but few have the access.
Isn't the ANZU brand just DJI in a slightly different form and color to get around the US drone laws?
There are similarities for sure.

We can't do that unfortunately.
