Are you in the US? We know this seller as. SAO Trading Inc Tokyo

I dunno, seems to me the authorities prefer to use kinetic force. Because it won't be long before drones are built to resist countermeasures. States like Louisiana passed a law to allow drones to be shot down and I have to wonder since the law was passed, how many drones have actually been...

as far as I can tell, the buying experience for the NEO2 is not much different than buying a Mini 5 Pro on eBay, the sellers are pretty much the same and the experience is almost identical. Should be an easy decision once you figure out which package you want and settle on a price. I would...

I won't either. If Americans are allowed, I wouldn't buy the Mavic 5 Pro anytime in 2026....maybe in 2027. I would like to at least get the same amount of time off the M4P as I did with M3P so 2 maybe 3 years would be ideal.

DJI has a NOTE (near the bottom) about this on their battery compatibility page:

I've said this before but I think it bears repeating. If a drone does not get a valid FCC DoC then the serial number cannot be entered into the FAA database and therefore cannot be registered. Obviously drones that already have a valid DoC are fine but this would mean new drone models that...

I had one drone buried so deep in the brush, no amount of "reflective" tape or strobe (in the daytime) would reveal its location. You needed a machete or a long stick but now I use an audible beeper (loud) from ViFly. I can imagine the same goes for a drone stuck high up in a tree.

Yeah hate to say it but we're going to see a real push to clear out whatever remaining DJI drones are in inventory that anyone wants to sell because of the unknown: whether they will be able to actually legally sell them after Dec 23 or not. Most people would rather not take the chance on the...

Definitely. https://eliseforgovernor.com/

Cool videos and stuff:

Good article but I think it leaves out a couple of options. For whatever reason, seems many packages are imported just fine with no customs fees or tariffs at al regardless if it's right or wrong. Kinda sucks that some people are getting hit so hard. And then there are packages where the fees...

Sadly it doesn't look like the US will get a chance to buy whatever drone that is which won't be able to get FCC.

^^ @Riptide These are the Plus battery kits so this is an excellent deal for any American entrepreneur willing to take the risk. Sounds like the word is getting out to foreign seller they might not be able to list and/or ship DJI drones dispatched to US residents. Time to unload as many as...

Quite a few still on eBay and plenty on Ali but the prices are going up and up and up as more buyers don't realize you can't buy the base kit without the controller (because you already have one) and then when you go to use it, you need the transceiver. Pretty silly for DJI not to include it in...
