Hello all! let me preface this by saying that I've gone through all the ban related threads and I dont believe this has come up, so forgive me if I over looked it.
So it appears this ban only has a couple more hurdles to overcome, but its pretty much a sure thing. Making the assumption that DJI equipment purchased prior to the ban will be grandfathered in, what's you guy's thoughts on the availability of batteries or props? Given the language used in this ban I wonder if they would still be available to purchase legally in the US. I'd imagine there'll be non-OEM options out there, but I wonder what the legal ramifications are with selling consumables for banned products. Thoughts?
Personally, even if they grandfather in my fairly new DJI drones, but I have no options for battery or parts replacements, I'll probably just sell them and put the money into building an custom FPV with a nice camera so I still have an aerial photography option. Since the ban has been appearing more and more a certainty, I rarely fly them anymore anyway. Hard to look at them the same knowing they may very likely become expensive paper weights. MAN, this friggin blows!! LOL
Anyways any and all hypothetical, educated, best guess thoughts appreciated! I understand at the moment that's all we have.
