Oh, sorry, I thought this was about banners for drones. Wrong room! 😬

Like what both bzip and msinger are pointing out, It depends if you buy it direct from DJI.com in China, or buy it from a store like B&H. Those differences make you either the legal importer or a US store customer.

I’ve read that It’s the domestic importer that pays the tariff. That could be a supplier for B&H, for Target or any other US company, or for a foreign company like DJI that acts as their own domestic importer and supplier. And what that importer does with the prices is up to them if they want to...

Taking from the poor to give to the rich, you mean? But that’s as far as I’ll go on that one. When my M2P’s finally die, I’ll seriously be considering going back to home built drones, but I’m afraid that batteries, flight controllers, cameras and motors, mostly from China, will also be...

Ukraine has made it a national hobby. They also have produced some really good online DIY drone building educational programs.

Charge them outside only- in a fireproof area.

Naw, it’s intentional insider trading. If you had purchased tech stock like Apple just 3-days ago, you’d have seen 20% gains today. They’re messing with all of us and getting richer for it. So going back to the regularly scheduled channel… does anyone know of a flight controller that I can use...

Well, glad someone blinked. Guess all voters count when it comes to messing with their phones and big screen TVs!😂 On the other hand, was it a blink? I mean, what did they think would happen to stock prices after instituting high tariffs and then erasing them? Or is that too high of a level of...

Well, there goes the neighborhood! 🤣

Wow, all this is old news from earlier today- new updates are that China reciprocated with their own tariff increase and said they were done with it because the tariffs are now so high that nobody in the US will buy their stuff. China is now turning its business towards other countries and is...

We really can’t. Just like everyone else, we are dependent on the raw materials, and many advanced ones, that some countries have and make that we don’t. Like it or not, ours is just a part of a global economy and becoming independent of it won’t happen, if at all, in our lifetime.

Flying (taking off and landing…) in US National Parks is usually only permitted for scientific or other administrative purposes. They probably would not allow for it to be done recreationally, and please don’t suggest doing it anyway due to their lack of personnel. There are alternatives though...

Both of them- the catinatreerescue.com site should be a sticky post somewhere on this site as I’ve posted it often. That Charlie Brown cartoon gets used a lot as well as many people have been feeding their drones to trees around here also! 😉

Just a bit of humor for OP…

Here’s an international directory of people that will climb trees to retrieve cats. Probably too late for OP, but some of these guys will also climb trees to retrieve drones: https://catinatreerescue.com/directory/
