Between them , DJI , 3DR , Parrot and ( presently ) GoPro reign the market for consumer photography drones . So when all those company announce that they ’re forge a group to buttonhole for sensible drone policies , it ’s worth taking note .
The four companies have form theDrone Manufacturers Alliance , a group that will specifically focus on “ policies that promote innovation and safety , and create a virtual and responsible regulative framework ” for consumer .
In decree to form the novel lobbying group , the four companies separate from the Small UAV Coalition , which still include the like of Google , Amazon , and Intel . It make sense : DJI and Parrot focus on little , consumer poke that are mostly photography tools or expensive miniature . Google and Amazon want to change the time to come of DoT , so naturally , their priorities are pass to be a slight dissimilar .
DJI already has a beneficial history of lick with the FAA , include helping set up the agency’snew registration program . The Drone Manufacturers Alliance’sinitial statementis a masterpiece of incarnate nullity , but we can still say between the lines . At a guess , the Alliance will be working on loosening restrictions on hobbyists and pro photographer , while also try out to avoid any more injured baby or shotgun intervention .
