So, just like how pretty much every other drone manufacturers drones already work. Somehow people only give DJI shit over this and develop a curious blind spot about everybody else.
It is trivially easy for anyone with thumbs to kit-build a drone with no regulatory compliance whatsoever, in nearly any size, with absurd range and capabilities, for just a few hundred dollars. Despite that state of affairs having been the case for years, this has mysteriously failed to cause the Earth to fall out of its orbit into the sun.
IDK, most of the kits require soldering (because the industry is fundamentally braindead) and if you go look at the various online communities, you’ll quickly see that this is one hell of a filter.
In high school electronics we also used a tesla coil (that can kill you if you touch the wrong place) so they disconnected the mains cord so it had to be rewired prior to use to keep us safer.
They taught us how to wire plugs the following week…
so what if no other manufacturers do it? Maybe they should be forced to.
the hyperbole at the end of your comment is not necessary or helpful. We literally just saw a drone ground a firefighting plane in Los Angeles, so we know they can cause major problems at the worst possible times. Maybe it’s not a big deal on an everyday basis, but in disasters like the Los Angeles Fires of course more idiot content creators than usual are going to have their drone in the air collecting footage.
more and more people are getting drones so there are only going to be more and more problems as they grow in popularity.

We were taught that at high school…
Same here, but I’d still be pretty annoyed if I had to do it to put together a drone, it’s a pain in the ass.
Soldering is so easy.
Yhe worst part of soldering is losing your soldering iron every 7 years between the times you need it.
One of my many hobbies is electronics and messing with electronic instruments so I use mine fairly often.
I find it interesting more than anything else.

You got taught how to rewire a plug in high school?
Yup. Was told clearly at the start to not plug it in to the wall sockets located just underneath us.
