IT’S OVER: The TRUTH about the DJI drone ban

Dec 23, 2025

The deadline has passed. As of December 23, 2025, the one-year "National Security Audit" mandated by the NDAA has expired without a clearance. This automatically triggers the FCC to add DJI to the "Covered List," effectively banning new authorizations and closing the loopholes that kept the company afloat in the US market. So, is your drone illegal? Will it fall out of the sky? Can you still buy a Mavic 4 or Mini 4 Pro? In this video, I break down the timeline of how we got here, why the "TikTok Defense" didn't save DJI, and the grim reality for professional drone operators in America moving forward. #DJIBan #DroneBan #DJI #Mavic4 #TechNews #Photography #TonyNorthrup #FCC
