What are their sale figures here compared to other regions? Anyone know?
The issue isn't just DJI's.
Any emerging industry is the same in the UK. Happened with Solar PV panels in 2010. Growing, hungry market driven by individuals, small businesses, Zero support,had to ship most products in from Europe/China direct. Its not till the big retailers get involved, that manufactures then invest in support, distribution, repairs etc. Unfortunately, at prices £1000+, DJI is going to classed as specialist product, not cheap enough for the masses, sales of goods act etc,. etc on something that in theory you could buy, smash it into a tree, then blame the supplier and that scares big retailers.
So we always struggle as an island/net importer, this will be compounded if the UK start import levy charges if/when we finally leave the EU.
And lets face it, someone could do something stupid, cause a plane to crash & UK could ban Unmanned air vehicles tomorrow...
Apart from that, great news that we have someone on a phone. |
