The video is over a year old and conditions on the ground have changed dramatically. I'm sure he has changed his mind since.

51 Drones still isn't concerned about DJI because he's here to help with any brand of drone that comes along in the future (source).

I agree with Russ' current viewpoint on the future of drones especially when it comes to making sure you don't completely rely on camera drones but get to know the FPV space as well. The one piece I disagree with slightly is the "kill switch." IMO, the permanent TFR is the modern "kill switch" and the only effective follow-up to a ban, short of confiscation. That's my prediction, it won't happen right away but it's a matter of when not if.
