Just came across this article today...if it is correct, sale of many of pre-existing DJI drones will be put on hold.

Yep it looks that way,  but Im sure there will be an appeal.

If sales do get shut down, maybe that would jump start production of another consumer drone that wouldn’t be effected by the patent. But, who knows.

Maybe but I rather like the quick release props.

I don’t think so. I heard some good news that Dji won.

Yeah, so something along those lines too. And the Autel patents that were infringed upon seemed pretty ludicrous (way point concept, etc. Common sense things).

Im curious does anyone know if it applies to the air 2 because in that article it mentions pretty much everything but the air 2.

What about Skydio and the Skydio 2/r1
