Adam Juniper with DJI Air 3S
In case it’s slipped your attention, China is a politically charged issue in the US, and other drone operators – not least Skydio, who now only sell to commercial and government clients – have made clear that they’re gunning for Chinese manufacturers in general and DJI, as the largest, and accept that some businesses & users will experience “pain” on the way.
I reviewed the new DJI Air 3S this week (in the UK), and I have to admit I was mighty impressed. Americans are likely to feel rightly left out if the drone continues to be held at port.
The upgraded version of the Air 3 – with a new LiDAR system, 1-inch main camera sensor and 120FPS 4K – has been shipping to the rest of the world since launch two days ago.
Back in June DJI’s Adam Welsh told me: “We would be in a ludicrous position if we had new advanced products that are being released across Europe, South America, Middle East, Africa, everywhere else, and you just had this sort of weird backwater in the US, which is supposedly the technological capital of the world”
That was a hypothetical conversation; today Americans can taste the experience for the first time as better tech isn’t available in the USA. We’ll let you know if it is deemed to be an administrative error, as DJI suggest, or the policy going forward.
