DJI does not offer or sell these products through its official U.S. channels and did not distribute these products in the U.S. market.

When the US government banned future foreign drones last December, it also announced it was incorporating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/118th-congress\/house-bill\/5009\/text#:~:text=%5B%5BPage%20138%20STAT.%202215%5D%5D\">a ban on \u201ccommunications or video surveillance equipment\u201d<\/a> from DJI and Autel Robotics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The game of whack-a-drone continues elsewhere. This week, HoverAir, aka Zero Zero Robotics, announced that it had secured FCC certification for its new Versa drone, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/973219\/what-if-your-dji-pocket-camera-could-put-on-wings-and-fly\">transforms from a DJI Pocket-like camera into a flying camera<\/a> by adding a pair of propeller wings. Public records show it did so by claiming its camera isn\u2019t on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/supplychain\/coveredlist\">the Covered List,<\/a> which is true \u2014 only DJI, Autel, Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, and Dahua are part of the camera ban.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">But all new foreign <em>drones<\/em> are automatically on the Covered List unless they get a waiver.
