[Scan-DC] Drones

[N4JOG]

I have the DJI Phantom 2 Vision that I bought from B&H late last fall. Great features, easy to control and excellent video with the built-in camera.  Also, excellent battery life.  Collin Gwinn, the face of DJI on the 60 Minutes story, posted approx 13-15 instructional videos on YouTube. I went through all of them before I made the purchase - a great ground school.  Anyway, apparently Gwinn and FJI parted ways recently.  He has filed a lawsuit and has filed an injunction which bars any new stock from being imported from China into the US.  The threat is that once dealers have exhausted their existing stock, nothing new until the suit ends.
