DJI is skipping the US with its most advanced drone yet​


The Mavic 4 Pro is coming to Canada and Mexico, but not the USA (for now).

Sean Hollister is a senior editor and founding member of The Verge who covers gadgets, games, and toys. He spent 15 years editing the likes of CNET, Gizmodo, and Engadget.

Today, DJI is officially announcing the Mavic 4 Pro, which could be the most versatile drone it’s ever made. It’s the first with a 360-degree rotating gimbal for footage that tilts, rolls, and offers true vertical filming. It’s the first Mavic to offer 51 minutes of battery life, tied with the old Mini 3 and close to the longest flight times DJI has achieved. It’s the first with a built-in 100-megapixel camera, which can also record 6K/60fps HDR, as part of its triple-camera array.

Another important distinction: it’s the first off-the-shelf DJI drone that won’t launch in the United States. Or at least, that was the plan — since we published this story, we’ve discovered that two US retailers are actually selling it anyhow starting at $2,699.

Anyhow: officially it’s going on sale in Canada, Mexico, and every other country where DJI sells drones, but the company tells The Verge it has no timeline on bringing it to the US. DJI won’t honor its limited warranty if you cross the border to purchase one in Canada or Mexico.

It’s not even sending the drone to US-based technology reviewers — we don’t have one, and we’re not sure when we’ll get one.

Why is the Chinese drone maker doing this? The company says Trump’s tariffs were among the top reasons it chose to abandon a US launch — and there’s also the fact that, seven months later, US Customs is still holding up DJI’s ability to import drones into the country.

I’m not Jerome Powell or a Wharton scholar so I’m not going to act like I know if he won or not .

But what I do know is that Democrats or their mouthpieces REALLY need to forecasting doom and gloom …and being hilariously wrong about it . When the tariff shyt started ppl left and right were saying flat out dumb shyt like a market crash/depression was imminent and our market was going to be cooked for years..A little over a month later the damn market has recovered and Bitcoin back like ain’t shyt happen..Hell Ethereum even woke up .

All that does is make democrats look like the little boy that cried wolf ..which in turn makes us look stupid and makes criticizing trumps moves look weak
The stock market isn’t the market. People are getting laid off (including my friend) or are underemployed. Your portfolio isn't an economic indicator just a measure of your success at speculating.

Record high of people working multiple jobs which isn't reflected in unemployment numbers. high tariffs can actually drop prices in a recession because no one can afford to buy.

We had a pretty big decrease in gdp last quarter.

The Truth
Trump didn’t get anything, the United States got its tariffs lowered to levels lower than they were before the trade war started, while our tariffs against them are still higher than they were before, which was the goal all along @Outlaw.

So… our prices are still going up then… correct?

As I said @tuckgod is the Coli’s village idiot.
Yet everything I say seems to come true while you nikkas sit here crying year after year, meanwhile every single poster you dipshyts have run off has become a celebrity.

I think subconsciously that’s what I’m looking for as well.
