SUMMARY
Following a US government ban that blocked new DJI drone models from receiving FCC approval, DJI initiated its own independent security review. The US firm OnDefend evaluated two DJI drones, finding no evidence of data transfer outside the US and failing to hack or tamper with the devices. While 10 low-risk findings were noted, DJI states these are being addressed. This review aims to support DJI's ongoing lawsuit against the FCC ban, which impacts aerial photographers, videographers, and other drone users.
