As the new year approaches, just a friendly reminder to fully charge all your batteries that may not be getting regular use. You really should be doing this 3-4 times a year for any battery that rarely gets used. With availability of DJI equipment becoming difficult in the US, it's that much...

@JeffreyS, how did you get your drone to Venus? :D

Folks, please avoid the political criticism and advocacy. We all know that everyone here has political opinions and views... please debate them on political forums and not here. This is a place to discuss drones, not politicians.

The thing missing here is real damages on your part, that can be made whole by a court. DJI may have hurt your feelings by "saying they would do things they never did", but they have no general obligation to. They can behave this way, and you have not incurred any actionable "damage". Unless...

🤣 And what were the damages? What compensation to make the plaintiff whole? I can see it now: Judge orders DJI to answer the email 🤣🤣🤣

What has been said here by several people is correct. What's more, most of these people are have years of experience, so deserve some respect. DJI updates battery firmware occasionally, and when they do, each battery must be put in drone after the full drone firmware update to get the battery...

The FCC has not issued a blanket ban on all non-US drones. As of 12/23/25, a security audit of DJI, as required by the NDAA passed by Congress and signed into law by the President, has not been completed. Therefore, also as specified in the NDAA, DJI (and others) have be added to the "covered...

Boy, I hope your stupid wife doesn't read the forum, or we may not be hearing from you again for a while 🤣 🤣 🤣

Which simply mean you have to register it. So what.

Simple: Because as @Meta4 and @MS Coast, I don't think it would have any impact at all in modifying the situation, and I'm not into wasting my time on performance art. In fact, I find virtue signaling quite annoying.

I believe the NDAA, a law duly passed by Congress and signed by the POTUS gives them that authority.

Santa is giving me a Mini 5 Pro, but because of the global increase in population affecting all the homes he must visit, he won't get to my chimney until January 3rd. Love the image... want to know what the glowing module is mounted under the drones, though. 😁

Don't give up yet, people. I'm optimistic this will work itself out, and DJI will be back on the shelves before the end of the Trump admin, maybe as soon as by the end of 2026. This looks to me like a negotiating tool for the Trump admin in the on-going economic battle with China. Trump has a...

Looks like most didn't bother to follow the link and read the article. The centerpiece of the article is about the new authority for state and local officials to control drone incursions near mass attendee events like NFL games, etc. Unauthorized drones have been restricted near such events...
