DJI make the best drones flying today but is also embroiled in a legal fight to be able to sell them in the United States. In this video I suggest that DJI should stop developing new gear for a few months and focus on the legal fight. The current drones they have in the market have all the features any consumer or commercial fliers needs. Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions!
