The US has cut ties with DJI and is now left without drones - AERONAUT.media - Root-Nation.com

DJI confirmed a global launch event for May 7, 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Two products are on deck: the Osmo Mobile 8P global rollout (already on sale in China since April 21) and an expected Pocket 4 Pro reveal with dual-lens optics. Here's the complete preview, what we know about each product, and what US buyers should expect given the ongoing FCC ban fight.

The US just banned DJI — the company that held 80% of America's drone market. Now there's no replacement. China controls 99% of drone batteries and 90% of rare earths. Skydio's $3.5B plan can't close the gap for years. America locked itself out of drones.
