‘A dangerous precedent for allowing baseless allegations and xenophobic fears’ – DJI lashes out at its potential US drones ban DJI is the latest Chinese company to be facing a Tik-Tok-style ban in the US – and the world's leading drone maker has told us in no uncertain terms what it thinks about a new US bill that could potentially ground its drones in the country. A DJI spokesperson exclusively told us: "The bill sets a dangerous precedent for allowing baseless allegations and xenophobic fears to drive public policy decisions that could negatively impact public safety and the U.S. economy". The reason for those public safety claims are because DJI drones are widely used in the US and worldwide for many non-commercial purposes, including helping first responders at land and sea. The DJI spokesperson added: "Our drones are used by federal agencies, local law enforcement, and emergency response teams to keep communities safe. They have spawned entire industries o

DJI Mini 4K quietly lands on Amazon for beginners who need a 4K drone The DJI Mini 4K is ready for take-off, equipped with 4K video capture, and looks set to be one of the best value beginner drones for aerial photographers.  DJI's latest entry-level drone appears to be just like the Mini 2 SE , only it brings 4K video to the table whereas the Mini 2 SE only shoots in 2.7K. There's no official word as to whether it will replace the Mini 2 SE, but that looks like a good bet, especially given the similarities between the two, which includes the Mini 4K's launch price which is the same as the Mini 2 SE's most recent price. There is, though, a small discount on the older model at the time of writing.  The Mini 4K is available now at Amazon US and UK for $299 / £269 or $449 / £399 for the Fly More Combo that includes an extra two batteries – that's actually cheaper than the Mini 2 SE was at launch. The Mini 4K will sit at the bottom of DJI's Mini-series of drone

DJI drones could be banned in the US soon – here's what you need to know Drone brand DJI could soon be banned from operating in the United States. According to a report from The New York Times (NYT), a bill called the Countering CCP Drones Act “passed unanimously by the House Energy and Commerce Committee” last month. The legislation will move on to a floor vote in the House of Representatives within the next two months. If it passes there, it’ll continue onward to the Senate and potentially the President of the United State’s desk. There seem to be two main motivations behind this ban. One of the bill’s sponsors, Representative Elise Stefanik of New York, claims “DJI presents an unacceptable security risk” pointing to the company’s connection to the Chinese government. The NYT mentions how vulnerabilities were discovered back in 2020 that CCP officials could’ve utilized to access the personal information of American users. Although these vulnerabilities have since been patche

DJI Mini 4K release date confirmed: here's what to expect from DJI's cheapest-ever 4K drone The first image of the new DJI Mini 4K drone has appeared at DJI's Amazon UK store and the DJI Amazon US store , alongside its launch date: April 29 at 6am PT / 9am EDT / 2pm BST / 11pm AEST. There's been none of the usual speculation, rumors and leaked pixelated pictures that usually precede a DJI drone launch, nor will we have to wait long to find out what this new drone for beginners is made of – without the usual fanfare I'm expecting the Mini 4K to be just a mini update, but I could be wrong.  We know a few things for certain already: the low-cost drone will be the latest entry-level model in DJI's superb range of drones , and it'll shoot 4K video. Also, the design, based on the image above, appears to be identical to DJI's current entry-level model, the Mini 2 SE , which has had a price cut since the Mini 4K went public and now costs just $269 / £249 /
