Take a look at the brands for the most popular parts - almost all Chinese.
- 83 4y agoIsn't the concern with DJI mostly the software (artificial flight limitations, phone-home ability, ability for China to lock you out on a whim). I'm not concerned that the motors and carbon tubes on my drones are made in China, I'm worried about truly owning the device I'm flying. If I were a Ukrainian DJI pilot I'd be worried about China doing Russia a favor by releasing a firmware update with this logic: 1) drone is flying in Ukraine? 2) motor amperage is higher than normal (probably carrying a grenade)? If 1 and 2, just return to takeoff point and drop the grenade Maybe mix in a rand() so Ukraine doesn't catch on too quick.
- the__alchemist 4y agoValid! It is interesting to me how the hobby market is all Chinese. I'm not sure why - perhaps it's a race to the bottom on price, and non-Chinese hardware manufacturers can't complete on price, but that's speculation.
