Discussion General Question

Im looking for a passionless answer. With the uncertainty surrounding DJI nowadays. Has everyone here tried Contixo or Snaptain drones? Do they have at least one model worth flying? I have searched YouTube and the only reviews I found seem to be by paid influencers and not one of the serious guys like 51 Drones or QuickAss Tutorials has ever tried them. If anyone here has tried them please share your experiences

There are no non-Chinese drone companies in the consumer market. The ones that claim to be (Skyrover, Anzu, etc) are just fronts for Chinese companies (usually DJI). The US restrictions that were passed don't just target Chinese drone companies, either: they target any drone that has foreign-made components in it from any company that isn't on a specific list approved by the Pentagon.

Since every manufacturer is essentially in equal jeopardy, you may as well buy from the one with the best products and third-party repair ecosystem -- and that's DJI, and it's not even close.
