#2 DJI has features that other manufacturers don't, which has more to do with their success than underselling.

Now, they're also accused of violating patents, but...

The whining that the app -- which is how you pilot their drones! -- can access the drone camera makes as much sense as whining that your phone's camera app can access the phone's cameras.

#4 Police Glocks are made in the USA in Georgia except for some of the furniture on them (important stuff like barrel, slide and frame are made in the USA), are reliable as hell, and cost effective. I don't know what your problem is with them, but they are durable and effective.

#6 DJI is pretty much *the* brand name in drones - features and quality. That said, any mainland software is suspect, especially when it phones home.
