Suspicious DJI clones appear on the market after the FCC banned foreign-made drones — Xtra and Skyrover drones look awfully familiar

After the FCC banned foreign-made drones in the U.S., DJI faces challenges, but new suspiciously similar drone models from Xtra and Skyrover have emerged. Xtra, a Delaware-based startup, offers drones that closely resemble DJI's designs and specifications. Skyrover, based in Hong Kong, also presents drones resembling DJI's models, though lacking published specifications. Despite the ban affecting new drone certifications, DJI can still import and sell existing models and introduce new action cameras. The companies involved have not commented on the product similarities, but DJI's recent diversification into acquiring a 3D printer manufacturer hints at adapting to the changing market landscape.
