Carson Miller, a college student in Indiana, is a YouTuber reviewing the latest model of drones.For Miller, who has 80,000 subscribers, I don't think these products will be used for Chinese spy activities.
Miller purchased a SZ / DJI technology drone headquartered in Shenzhen Province for the first time in $ 500 in 2016.The current act rate is about 56,800 yen.Now that he is 21, he owns six DJI drones."If you are completely banned, it will hurt a lot," he said.

The Biden administration has banned the US investment on DJI on Tuesday.A year ago, the Trump administration has been preventing the company from purchasing US parts.The Democratic and Republican members are considering a bill prohibiting the purchase of DJI drones by federal agencies, and Brendan car committee members of the U.S. Communication Committee (FCC) were "huge amounts of drones" collected by drones.FCC said that the prohibition of DJI products should be considered because of the confidential data.

In this document, which was issued when the US Ministry of Commerce added a DJI to a company that was forbidden to purchase from a US supplier, DJI claimed that "nothing is posted on the list.""We have always saved people's lives and focused on building products that benefit society.

The DJI counterattack against the US government sanction is quite simple.Instead of relying on US suppliers, it develops a product with a better price than any product on the market and captures next -generation users.
The company started a new education department last year.It offers only $ 240 small drones and software that is useful for school teachers to teach young students with basic coding.In October this year, the company requested a new stabilization technology and various other advanced functions to movie shooting staff, including three Academy award winners.There are also devices that can stay in the air for up to 46 minutes, and agricultural spraying devices that can cover 40 acres (about 16 hectares in one hour).
