Look how confusing this is for all of us. What a ridiculous mess. I am likely going to purchase a spare drone on Dec. 22nd just to be sure... Doesn't the US governement have something better to do with my tax money???

Amazon is still selling aftermarket batteries and props from China for the Mavic Pro. I just bought both.

The DJI site is no longer selling Mavic Pro batteries or props.

This all stems from a law China passed a few years ago that requires all Chinese manufacturers to cooperate with China's intel services. That opened the gates for concerns about hacking and security. As far as I know, there is zero evidence that DJI has engaged in any mischief. I understand that the lobbying by USA drone manufacturers has been tremendous. The best way to increase business is to knock out the #1 competitor.

Did you invest in stock for USA manufacturers? I'll bet most members of Congress did.
