What other options are there on the drone market? It's my impression that DJI are the biggest because they are the best.
- antonkochubey 3y agonot much for consumers (Autel Robotics is also Chinese IIRC), plenty of options for industrial/military
- beeboobaa3 3y agoThere already are no options if you don't want to beg china for permission any time you want to use your property.
- jandrewrogers 3y agoThe US has a mature and highly diversified drone industry with excellent tech. It just isn't targeted at consumers, which is the market segment where DJI plays.
- sithadmin 3y agoDJI does own the consumer segment, but they're also still usually the go-to brand for US commercial purposes as well. Their software and hardware reliability is leaps and bounds better than anything else on the market until you start getting into defense contractor territory.
- johnea 3y agoApparently even when used to maim, mutilate and murder other people, DJI is superior. https://archive.ph/VkYSu https://archive.ph/VkYSu https://www.wsj.com/world/how-american-drones-failed-to-turn-the-tide-in-ukraine-b0ebbac3 https://www.wsj.com/world/how-american-drones-failed-to-turn...
- numpad0 3y agoIsn't it partly an artificial problem created by export regulations? US had soft-restricted civilian ownership of missile-related technologies by controlling exports and inflating prices. But none of it applies to DJI drones somehow, so it wins.
