Summary: The commenter, a small business owner in the pet rescue industry, opposes the proposal because it would restrict their ability to use and repair affordable drones from DJI and Autel. They argue that American-made alternatives lack the necessary performance and cost-effectiveness for their community service.
I am currently starting a business doing pet/animal rescue in my community, folks are thanking me for taking on this adventure, I have invested in drones with thermal imaging, these drones are capable of the task, but made by DJI and Autel, I tried to buy American made but the cost and performance is lacking, my understanding is I will not be able to repair or service these expensive needed items wit your proposal, costing me greatly, and the community misses out on a affordable service, i feel like my rights are being taken away, I’m not sure how a thermal drone poses a threat
