Drone News - New DJI Mavic in Summer 2020, Impact of Coronavirus on Drone Industry, US Ban on Chinese Drones

New DJI drone, the DJI Mavic in summer 2020, the impact of coronavirus on the drone industry, how drones are helping contain the pandemic, drones being used to kill pests in remote islands in New Zealand, drones for protecting surfers in Australia

In today’s drone news, you will get a sneak-peek of the all-new DJI Mavic. Chinese drone pilot, OsitaLV released some images of this new DJI drone on his Twitter account that many wrongly presumed this to be the DJI Mavic Air 2. We have learned from reliable sources that DJI is planning on releasing this new drone, the DJI Mavic in summer 2020. Tune in to get more specs and pricing details.

Our biggest story this week is about the coronavirus pandemic and its crippling effect on the drone industry. Apart from industry leader DJI, even American manufacturers like Skydio and Impossible Aerospace are affected because they are using spare parts manufactured in China. As production lines of drone manufacturers have been disrupted, listeners will also learn how many new drones like the Autel Evo 2, DJI Mavic 3, and the new DJI Mavic have been delayed. Certainly, this is a trying time for the entire drone community. But instead of giving in to panic and overwhelm, we urge you to utilize this downtime efficiently. Drone U is coming out with some comprehensive online classes guaranteed to give you the competitive edge.

Other topics covered in today’s show include the US ban on Chinese drones, using drones for Good in New Zealand and Australia and a drone crash in North Carolina. For all this and much, much more, tune in to our latest show now!
