DJI ban: Why the U.S. government is voting to remove Chinese drones

DJI is beloved for its lightweight, highly-capable drones — the DJI Mavic 3 Pro and DJI Air 3 reviewed well on this very site — and its camera equipment, like gimbels, action cams, and even a combination of the two, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. The company is so popular that, in 2020, Bloomberg wrote that DJI controlled 77 percent of drone sales in the US alone. But as of June 2024, the company is one big step closer to being banned in the US entirely.
