John Dickow and Sally French delve into the world of DJI drone alternatives and the challenges that come with finding suitable options in various budget ranges. While there are a few alternatives to DJI drones available, Sally points out that most of them are still Chinese-made products, especially in the higher price range of thousands of dollars. American drone companies do offer alternatives, but these are predominantly enterprise-grade products in the $10,000 to $50,000 range.
The real challenge arises when individuals seek camera drones with a budget under $2,000, which is considered reasonable for more professional photographers. Finding a non-DJI product within this budget range becomes quite difficult. Even more so for those with tighter budgets around $500, as DJI dominates the market by offering remarkable products at every price point.
