I have the current firmware on my M2P and it has been fine.

Are you referring to Foxconn? They abandoned their plans for manufacturing LCD panels in Wisconsin four years ago. There is a company named Séura that makes outdoor TVs and luxury displays for indoor use. They are sourcing their panels from Asia.

What other consumer-focused tech companies have moved staff to the US? DJI's products are engineered in China, and all of the parts are manufactured in China. If you are testing a new drone for compliance, that compliance is regional. FCC for the US, CE for Europe, etc. There is no benefit to...

Unless you have a source for DJI using a 3rd party for props, that's not a valid assumption. They were manufacturing their props and motors in-house since the Phantom days. That doesn't mean that MAS props are less safe.

B&H may be saying that they are still in production, but they are listed as discontinued on Epson's product page.

A few years back, I bought a Micro USB to USB cable to connect my phone to my M2P remote. The brand is Hanatora (Amazon store link: Hanatora: Mini SE Accessories) It has worked well and uses right-angle connectors to keep the cable close to the remote.

DJI is not using LTE for Occusync. They are using the Wi-Fi frequencies (2.4 Ghz & 5.8 Ghz) with their proprietary protocol.

Some USB 3 hubs can be finicky. The cheaper chipsets can be noisy and can cause issues with A/V equipment.

Based on the teardown posts for the NEO, they used surface mounting for the components. None of it would be easily replaceable. To replace the flash memory under warranty, DJI would just replace the motherboard. It would be cheaper for them on the labor. Unless the Neo was abused, the memory...

Take a look a the Movo X1-Mini (Amazon link). It has both 3.5mm and USB-C connectors. It also has microphone covers that will reduce wind noise when recording outdoors. You don't need to limit yourself to USB-C only microphones. There are plenty of cheap USB-C to audio adapters on Amazon

They are both current standards. H.265 is a newer standard and requires better hardware than .264.

I'm sorry, but the role of "idiot" in the piece was already taken by Hank Borunda. You'll have to settle for "Industry Expert" or "Voice of Reason".

No, that's why we have trade delegations. Country A does this, Country B does that, then the delegations find the least worst option and life moves on.

The interesting part is that China didn't place tariffs or bans on Skydio products. The sanctions are interfering with Skydio from selling anywhere. Which is not effective in the long run as Skydio will source the batteries from somewhere else.

That was a press release from Adam Bry, it was written in Marketing English, where the facts are loose and there is a two-drink minimum. A drone club is probably not an accurate way of seeing how well Skydio drones are selling. They are not selling to consumers or enthusiasts, they are going...
