What a blunder; this is probably going to be a disaster.
Why can't DJI have a regular successful professional launch without having to create an issue and I'm not talking about failure to launch in the US.
There are numerous reports of the drone weight coming in over 250g on the scales. This is sorta backed up by the DJI published specs. Over the years, we had been hoping the Mini drones would come *down* in weight, not go up.
Personally for me, this is not a problem. For two reasons: I register all my drones and I personally don't subscribe to the paranoia thought that a couple of g's here or there amounts to a massive violation.
However, this is going to cause some serious problems for those that are scared of their governments, those who are super picky and prefer to stick to the absolute letter of the law, those who depend on proper and accurate government labels and designations, anyone who wants to add *any* accessory to their drone like a filter, people who travel with their drone, and anyone (including the police) who has a cheap scale.
The internet is blowing up over this. At a minimum, this is a total distraction and it's self-inflicted and on day 1, sadly I am calling this a train-wreck happening in slow motion. DJI is post my opinion on this topic too early? Is this a nothing burger? I hope so.
Uggh!
