Of all the colours they could choose..
GI Joe green
I like it.
Very well done video very informative was really wanting to know the inside on this great job
Thanks for the video and information Sean.
Thank you sir!!
Hi Sean, Great news and detail for this new drone manufacturer. Hopefully this will pave the road for the consumer market as well.
Regards,
Jerry
Thanks Jerry! That would be interesting! It is great to see more companies trying innovative ways to get drones out there.
It's all about the DJI OcuSync 4.0
O4 Sync Transmitter is a game changer not talked about enough without competition at the moment.
Cheers 🥂 🍻
This is an innovative solution. I wish them the best.
Hey Marcus! It seems to involve a lot of out of the box thinking! Who would have ever thought we would see any kind of licenced DJI release 🫨
Ok Marcus, which one are you going to order?
Sounds ok does it record heart rate if not dealbreaker
Interesting - will have to see if they come to the UK/European market. Having seen some of the permissions that the DJI app needs are scary - but does this mean that any other big company apps are any different? likely not - but they are concerning.
Would be nice to see some US based co.panies with drones for the average consumer. It's an issue I haven't seen any company tackle yet. As all Blue sUAS rated drone are $5k+, then this starts at $5k.
I love my Specta Air. I wished Amazon sold batteries. It may not work with the new Avata2 goggles and controller, but they work with the air 3. As far as the ban on DJI. Do people remember the import tariffs on Japanese cars and motorcycles. Japan snuck around by putting final assembly (not manufacturing) plants in the US. Hmmm.
Great to hear your Specta is flying well! Certainly the product underneath is an awesome drone. I didn't even think of compatibility with the new goggles, that's a shame!
I did think of the Japanese car manufacturers situation when I first read the press releases on this.
@@Geeksvana yes dji have put a chip in batteries etc so mavic batteries wont work with the clone drones and vice versa so if they are doing it with batteries i would imagine they are with every other accessory despite the chips inside being 100% dji chips
Seeing the announcement of the video the thought came: Why not buy DJI hardware as OEM and develop "safe" software. Then You told it's on the way. Greate news for the US I suppose.
Are they going to enter the consumer market at some point?
I think the limited licence would not allow that. Unless I suppose, restrictions increase on DJI products. Which is unlikely.
Sean, Thanks as ever. Competition is good. But the real solution to the DJI problem is to prove or disprove the wild allegations flying about DJI drones. It may be that the allegations are true. Let’s prove them and if we can’t let’s get on with flying our DJI drones.
What if I don't want my DJI to be so ugly?
Glad it's green so I can loose it in the countryside!
If I landed in the grass in front of me, I don't think I would find it easily 😂🤣
Talk them into sending ME one😁👣
Good luck to the Chinese government getting my heart rate details from the Maven app...if they asked me, I would happily tell them and anyone else who has such a sad life that they need to know such dross. It's currently 60bpm seated. It will go up as soon as I start on the whisky which will be any second now...
Why such conspiracy theories get any traction at all is beyond me. Thanks for the reveal Sean and the wise words of wisdom that accompanied it.
Thanks Rupert! Appreciate your thoughts and kind feedback.
The issue with the 'heart rate monitor' story is this was most likely 'made up' by the Chinese government in order to distract from the potential real issue. The truth is none of us can be sure what 'back-doors' have been built into these electronic machines. Same as with your PC, tablet, router and phone - you have to imagine that all the information on them is now in the hands of the US and the Chinese. For your drone, they may now have your face and location of your home, your family pictures, and the places you choose to take your drone. Link that to your internet address, your job, and any social media you post, now you can see that big brother has you by the balls.
Next imagine your drone can be made to crash or go to a location and film and crash, that's a powerful weapon.
Most people don't realise the whole world is in a struggle of Democracy v Fascism. If you help Russia, China, Iran and possibly South Africa and possibly the un-elected European Commission - then you are helping Fascism to grow stronger,
Remember that MG and Volvo are now owned by the Chinese.
The only protection is to build your own electronics or pay someone who you can trust.
One day we should not depend on any manufacturing in China.
Part of learning to be a competent critical thinker is to be able to question everything, including the source of the stories you hear.
Remember, we now have a prize example of how propaganda on social media made the majority of people believe the Luton airport multi-story car park fire was caused by an electric or hybrid Range Rover. We now know for 100% sure the car that started it was a diesel. However, I still meet people who say it was a hybrid! The problem is that once a rumour is started it's very hard for anyone to retract that message and some people either don’t care or don't even try.
The message from me is 'challenge everything', even from sources you trust. If you cannot do this then you are part of the problem, the world is stuffed full of lemmings and sheep.
@zx81uk agree completely. Thanks for sharing.
So it's literally reskinned DJI Drones with new software... Firmware chips can have hardcoded backdoors for DJI to access any software on their hardware.
With the way the system is setup it answers many if not all of the issues some users in the US have. Time will tell and teardowns etc, will give us information on any form of access DJI can get. Certainly, as you might expect, Anzu do not believe it is possible.
I can get batteries and props from Cogito, same price as DJI Air 3, but only paid by bank transfer and it costs 65USD according to my bank.
@@Geeksvana This is one of my specialities, hardcoded backdoors are very common these days, cisco hardware for example is well known for having a hardcoded backdoor for the user named "cisco" which puts all the devices are risk if a hacker figures out the one password they all use (and Cisco is a huge name), Intel chips have hardcoded backdoors. Android (like the controller) and iOS devices in the UK have to legally have a backdoor for the governments snoopers charter (which actually makes them easier to hack) but I don't think many companies are fully compliant with this yet (WhatsApp are compliant so would give out all those missing MP messages if requested by the government or a court order, you have to wonder why they were not requested), Hopefully the company use some sort of BaDSeED system in their software which would detect such backdoors.
@@formerlyfilmphotography6802 - A bunch of people have been complaining lately that third party batteries (which I would NEVER recommend) don't work anymore due to an update so you either fly without the latest firmware (which isn't safe) using third party batteries (which also are often not safe) or your batteries stop working. I also would NOT recommend using third party props.
Also any of these things can easily take you over 250G.
Yeah its literally the same body as the dji
Didn’t Autel try this and fail?
OK... but in the UK, do you trust the Americans collecting your data any more than you trust the Chinese? The main difference will be that the big data will be owned and - mostly - used commercially. However, the data will be stored in the USA, which is still a foreign country. I would trust the NSA more than DP corporates.
Hey Lindsay! It is an interesting question. They do deal with it in terms of the data captured never leaving the SD card. But that still leaves app and flight data. It interests me how much data we give away, with most people not realising it.
Great info really like your content! Our Foundation is a non profit that donates drones and now in Florida we cant even donate a DJI drone it is not allowed. It remains to be seen if Anzu will be the solution as it is clearly the same drone. It is a sad state as lives are at risk! Literally millions of dollars of thrones been grounded Florida and are not able to be used. I wish Randal all the best on this venture as public safety needs these tools! For those who purchase drones through our foundation partners they will receive best possible pricing and the best part is up to 10% of the net sale goes back to support our mission to help underfunded public safety receive these life saving tools. This is sure to put a hurt on Skydio's business model and thats good news as well. Seems as if Skydio now will be forced to be more reasonable pricing as apposed to existing and from the feedback our foundation gets from public safety, they do not like Skydio as a company or brand, in part to them being the tip of the arrow on the Anti-DJI noise... Be interesting to see how this plays out... Again great content.
Thank you for your service on anything drone news and information. Yes, we definitely need more US drone manufacturers. Although we should have seen this coming a long time ago as “made in China” hit store shelves.
That same bill has been filed in the US for several years now, never made it out of committee.
It creaks forward each time and although I don't think a consumer ban is ever 'likely', it continues the political narrative and we end up with the restrictions we have now. Thus the need for a company like Anzu Robotics.
The bill just passed the House today and is heading towards the Senate. So yeah, looks like this stupid DJI is actually happening.
The only reason it made it out of the committee was the fact that it got attached to the NDAA and with that it'll go thru the senate as well
From what I'm seeing the price on these things is ridiculous it can't actually replace the mavic
5-8k??!!! Wtf??!!!
Iam interested AS LONG AS NO GEOFENCING
There is no geofencing... They confirmed it on their seminar today.
@@Geeksvanawhy doesn’t dji just remove the geofencing if it’s such a problem
@@johnparkes2452 they mostly already have .
This is a brilliant "workaround" so that regulations that restrict DJI products from being purchased by governments, companies, organizations, consumers, etc. will have an alternative. At $7000 it's a bit pricey considering that comparable DJI products are AT LEAST half the price but Anzu products will fill a niche market in which to hopefully thrive.
Whenever a regulation or law is passed many will suffer and get hurt, and yet every law creates an opportunity for someone, even if the overall impact on society is a big negative.
The drone is too expensive. $5,100 as a base model price and $7,600 for the raptor T that's almost $2,000 more then the exact same drone I can get from DJI. Definitely not a resolution to whatever made up problems they have with DJI.
The increase in price justification seems to centre around the additional work and services to bring the data security under US servers, etc. The incredible price of UAS designed for the blue market is often more than double these figures.
I suppose for some who have no options but to find a 'non-Chinese' manufacturer, the price is the price.
Is any of this justified without any hard evidence of an issue with the original product? No. It is the definition of a manufactured marketplace.
Licence hardware? Licenced from DJI through 27 shell companies?
So it's a DJI with the same data security issues but you need an IQ of 500 to track where all the data really goes?
For accuracy, the licence is between DJI and Anzu Robotics, so no need to put it via any 'shell companies'. The data is not sent to or held by DJI at any point. So, although it will be interesting to see how it survives being picked apart by techs out in the wild, just making stereotypical 'social media' style comments is a little flat 🤔.
@@Geeksvana I have been on the internet a long time and extremely sceptical because I have seen it happen many times. Big uproar because a company is collecting data or doing something naughty and they whitewash it and say it was beta code they forgot to remove and then it sneaks back and becomes part of the package.
Happens in all industries, check fake NCAP crash tests. Data is king why sell a product when the data they can collect is far more valuable?
It could be a bad imitation of a DJI drone, nasty green colour. Maybe just using a None DJI app would be the answer to the paranoia governments have, as long as the app is good. I doubt that company can produce a better drone than DJI, and DJI is people first choice.
Hey AD! Yes, the real test will be how smoothly the app runs but with someone like Aloft producing it, I feel a little more confidence there. This will either be huge or drift away as another good idea. Hopefully the former if it gives us less politics in drones!
If you can't beat them, license them. Let's see how this goes.
H O W M U C H !!!!!
If you had watched to the end, you would have heard him say $5k for the Raptor and $7 for the Raptor T.
Yep! The cost comes from the handling of all the data and app. To bring the cyber security demanded in that market. In terms of US built drones in the same niche, they are competitive. Still a LOT of money though.
@@cyberherbalistseven dollars, bargain...
It is well established that Chinese firms are required to share information with intelligence services under various laws, including the National Intelligence Law. There is no allegedly about it.
Absolutely. Both corporate and individual laws. The most recent legislation being 2017, it cannot even be passed off as outdated!
and what about us consumers?
The gall of claiming to call anything innovative or revolutionary when you've literally copy pasted a mavic and quadrupled the price.
I think their innovation is taking a licence many would think impossible and mixing that with their own data handling. It says something about innovation full stop when the better competitor is the same drone with a new badge...
Well played DJI. 😂 Tornek-Rayville did this with watches when the U.S. had the buy U.S. built policy.
I need a solution for the $6K of DJI equipment I currently have. I can't just afford to toss it in the trash, especially after spending $600 to cover the FAA's remote ID issue. There is 0 risk of getting data back to the CCP, if it doesn't connect to the Internet through a phone or wifi connection. Running with tablets or the standard controller, they don't right now. If they kill the need for their "flysafe" system, which is a misnomer anyway, there would never be a need to connect to them.
It would be interesting if they released the Aloft software to work with DJI products etc. Certainly, I agree we need solutions for the existing stock out there.
Agreed. I have recent purchased nearly $8,000 worth of equipment and fly my Mavic 3T for fire department operations as well as lost pet searches on the side. I wouldn’t be able to afford the American replacements for at least a year. Loading Aloft as a 3rd party app would be great since I do all my flight logging through Air Control. We all know it won’t be that easy.
Working in forestry, dark green is not really a good colour.
I usually place luminescent stripes on my drones, as grey isn't helpful. But it won't help that the drone itself is already the colour around you! It is a particular green as well.
@@Geeksvana We regularly use skins helps a bit. Will we see you at DroneX?
And what about the door bell cams, mobile (cell) phones, baby monitors, laptops, Siri systems, connected cars and any other connected devices made in China? Are they all perfectly ok but our rescue equipment and toys are too dangerous to own? My drones can't hurt anyone if it fell on them... but Boeing doors can fall on people and kill them... and junk from the international space station can pepper people's houses... a strange world we live in! Greetings from Australia
Sprayed Mavic 3
That costs 7k! Wtf??!!!
In the US congress/government , I'm sure that their objections to China's DJI would be a lot less if DJI were Russian!
Never the less, it is not the work of the US congress that put the monetary restrictions and regulations on the hobby drones, but the FAA, that ran with this with the $150. 2 hour Part 107 test.
In other words, if one flies a drone on their road trip or vacation and puts it on CZcams and CZcams monetizes it, one could be in trouble with the FAA! To me, the objective is obvious, to restrict hobby drones and not allow them to make any money unless they pay the FAA shake down and pass the test just to post their videos!
At b$150. a test, I'm sure this is quite profitable for the FAA and is quite effective in curtailing droners from posting their videos without paying the FAA, or any income from drones at all, as if it is the mandate of the FAA to stop the posting of drone videos on the internet!
What is it to the FAA if I post a video with my drone on CZcams or not, or a wedding video with a hand held camera, from a car or whatever, as long as one is abiding by the rules set by congress?
I wish it was an answer but Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Pro are still about 1/2 the price. The base model is $5k then $7600 for the T. #nothanks #gouging #overpriced
The DJI 3 Emterprise is $3600, this one is $5000.
They are obviously producing in much smaller quantities and outside of China so ofc they are more expensive. But if you‘re making money with this drone, the difference of $1400 isn‘t all that significant imo.
@@stephanbergmann8373 This wasn't the case a month ago when I posted it, sorry.
I have no doubt that China has ownership of the factory and you could never be certain that they haven't built a back door into it.
problem is crap companies spending money to ban competition and superior products instead of improving their product.
Anzu is just a dji rehash with the same hardware and proprietary dji silicon. The security issues still exist.
I think the same. All existing issues if there are any will be included with the new one, it will just be hidden and encrypted making it difficult to find the data leak.
You must work for skydio
I don’t see why the government doesn’t just do what their doing to tiktok, force dji to sell the company or get banned
Optional RTK, my dji v1 phantom had return to keeper 8 years ago.
Hey Mark! I think you are thinking of RTH rather than RTK, which is Real-Time Kinematic. This provides highly accurate real-time data to allow accurate mapping and other functions. RTH is the return to home you are thinking of.
lol doubtful.
When the late Senator Feinstein reportedly saw a drone visiting outside her window, I wonder if that was an elitist catalyst for dissing drones?
Nothing is secure, didn’t you hear Julian Assange and Edward Snowden?
Perception in retail is everything. The end users do not often worry about their data. This is government lead and not an issue raised by customers.
Yes, RAF in UK raised concerns when I spoke to them about DJI drones having Chinese software on them.
Why sell them then, if they are so paranoid about the drones and Chinese software on them? Everything is made in china, can’t have it both ways and have cheap products but then get, all paranoid about the software and what they maybe doing.
Why not just have the software made in the country they sell the drones in, instead of the generic one.
Extensive Geofence is the problem along with aeroscope or whatever it's called
I don't want an american drone that spies on me.............unless the make one in red. Red drones are very fast.
This is exactly what needs to happen DJI needs to become just a hardware manufacturer. Then we need to have a US based software developer. And even better yet, they could unlock the software and make it open source so people can make their own software to suit their own needs. If you're pro for the free world. Proprietary things need to go away. If you make something and you make it proprietary, you're against the world. The whole point is to make things easier to work on Easier to fix, easier to repair. Anything proprietary goes against that? Work together. Not against each other.
Hobby drones killed our RC hobby, now drones are being taken down by legislation.
I can't stand DJI. Even though I have a waiver from the FAA I still need to get airspace clearance randomly through fly safe. It's ridiculous. I don't like that I have to get airspace clearance from China

This new drone is trash. Just a scare tactic about DJI. I support DJI 💯. If yall dont like DJI then get rid of all your iphones and all other chinese made products.
They didn't create the problem... The scare tactics are of the government's and competitors making.
DJI have backed and officially licenced this business, selling to people who cannot but DJI at the moment.
I feel the frustration and agree with it. But you are pointing it at the wrong people. Deflect it to the politicians creating this mess.
so just get rid of pretty much everything.…?
@johnparkes2452 yep. No DJI then no nothing
difference between iphone and DJI is Apple HQ is in US and the gov a get piece of the pie
Spray painted mavic 3. Why go with this awful color. At least white or orange
dj isnt the problem. looney zenophobia is.
Such a surprise, the "land of the free" is at it again. The USA really needs to change their national anthem. It rings hollow and is outright embarrassing.
Problems with paranoia and we know it's political too.
If DJI produced drones in the US under a different name, ANZU, doesn't the money still goes back to China? Perhaps less, but China would still get a portion of the proceeds!
It will be some time, if ever for US drones to even bother with producing hobby drones! Why should they make a four hundred dollar drone when they can make much more expensive, for the government or corporations, thus much more profitable, while the FAA clears the skies of those pesky hobby drones
DJI should be banned, I am glad there are replacement of them.
i've never paid more than 1200 dollars for a DJI drone. you're talking 5000 dollars for an anzio?
all from dji tech ban anzu drone
