Thanks for the good laugh!

What model Phantom? Hey? Did you ever get the EVO, that you said you had on pre order?DJI Phantom...
Nope. Canceled the preorder as I had unexpected medical issues to deal with. One day though, one day...What model Phantom? Hey? Did you ever get the EVO, that you said you had on pre order?
Well illegally is not so bad there are thousands crossing the border illegally and"What if someone flies and doesn't get air clearance " You mean illegally?
Well illegally is not so bad there are thousands crossing the border illegally and
it looks like that's no problem! So why would they worry about some drone!
Who enforces these drone flying laws? I have never seen a enforcement officer
for the FAA!
"This incident shows why the federal government must mandate a remote identification system for airborne drones as soon as possible" - Adam Lisberg, Dir. of Communications DJI.
If they make an identification system, what does that mean for pilots? What if someone flies and doesnt get air clearance, but they are flying pretty low, scanning the sky, being safe, they going to fine that person now? It's equivalent to putting trackers in cars, and then fining them for speeding.
In my opinion, that's not surprising that he would say that. I believe that their long term plan is to get out of the consumer market and go totally industrial/large entity. For Amazon, medical delivery services or even Pizza Hut, to buy a bunch of drones for autonomous use, they have to have remote id for everyone else constantly reporting positions to avoid them. Concentrating on those big industrial drones, and a system to manage them, is where I believe DJI appears to be headed, which is a smart move, with the consumer market starting to dry up a little.
Thus, their participation on the FAA boards and their insistence on the need for remote ID. It isn't about safety, it's about money.
DJI's mistake though, is not understanding that the US and State governments are huge potential clients and they are not going to allow drones working for them to send their data (pictures and coordinates) to some unknowable place on the interwebs. The connected apps would have to go!
It's going to knock a lot of us out of the sky, because I'm sure the required upgrades for the transponders ain't gonna be cheap.
I just happen to disagree. Demanding that everyone buy expensive retrofits for their drones, is not the action of someone wanting to protect the consumer drone market. It requires raising your price point on new ones, which reduces the available of pool of buyers at that price point. Also, anything based on an app that connects to the internet and sends data packets, is not secure...period. It may be perfectly legitimate and completely harmless, but it can never be proved to be so. It will always leave a question as to what they are sending and why. Again, just my opinion...There's no way that DJI is exiting the consumer market - it makes far too much money for them. Various Government agencies already have measures in place to allow the use of DJI equipment to resume so, barring unforeseen further developments on that front it's not likely to be a problem.

Now in Canada starting June 1 you need to register your drone with transport Canada . put you I’d number on the drone and take a pilots course to fly drones
