On Today’s podcast, we discuss the implications of the recent DJI ban and what it means for companies like Skydio and the drone industry at large.
We're all aware of the recent ban on DJI to import its products manufactured in China and how this can impact the drone industry. In this episode, Rob and Paul dive into the details about Skydio and Autel's offerings and how products from these companies are different from those by DJI.
