[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 101797, member: 18605"] The consumer drone market is arguably dominated by DJI. The company has been slow to change their product line, but we're now seeing models being discontinued and hints of new models coming. Initially, I wondered about the fate of the legacy models with DJI's announced implementation of AirSense on all drones after January, 2020. Reading more recent articles, it appears their plan to include ADS-B In is voluntary as the FAA is mandating it for aircraft that fly in airspace currently requiring a transponder. DJI already has experience with it on certain enterprise models, so it appears they are trying to stay ahead of issues of manned aircraft and drone deconfliction, not because it's a requirement, but to stave off further regulation. I am concerned about availability of accessories, particularly batteries. I was unable to cash-in on the $25 Spark battery blowout at Target as all the stores in my area had sold out. Time will tell how it shakes out. [/QUOTE]
