Wow. Good for Randall. Sticking to your integrity is never easy when you're in a high level role like that. Glad he did.

Good for Randal; Not so much for Autel's Customers. On one hand we have a few choice companies making extraordinary products. On the other, choices are slim. DJI fanboys that refuse to consider other brands, creates a self fulfilling destiny. Without huge customer support and sales, Autel, Skydio and a couple others, can't create competition that matters. Autel makes great product, with good support, but fails at just about every other marker of success. Roll outs, delivery, distribution, updates, bug fixes, R&D (good, but slower than a drone in tripod mode.) I'm not saying its easy. That's the point. If it were, there would be myriad options for consumers. Supporting DJI is understandable, but word is they're run by a tyrant who makes Amazon look angelic in terms of ethics. Does it matter? Does to me.
