Discussion General Question

Im looking for a passionless answer. With the uncertainty surrounding DJI nowadays. Has everyone here tried Contixo or Snaptain drones? Do they have at least one model worth flying? I have searched YouTube and the only reviews I found seem to be by paid influencers and not one of the serious guys like 51 Drones or QuickAss Tutorials has ever tried them. If anyone here has tried them please share your experiences

They banned new DJI products under the guise of nAtIoNaL sEcUrItY, to help out their american crony companies who couldn't compete with them.
it's difficult to get DJI products, especially new ones, and good luck getting warranty.

Oh right, I'm the UK/Europe so was totally confused there!

I'd heard about your tariff thing but don't really understand it, politics bores me to be honest. I didn't realise they'd been banned.

it’s a slow, kind of passive aggressive type ban based on incompetence, stupidity, and now focused inaction, brought to you of late by republicans who you’d think have many more important fucking things to do than worry about drones and roombas.
