> I think we have a tendency to look down on Chinese manufacturers as copycats, but DJI is an exception to that rule.

Either they are an exception to the rule, or we under-estimate the work needed to make proper copycats.

Maybe we are just realizing that it takes a lot of work to learn what's needed to "copy", as we are trying to copy DJI ourselves.

DJI is just extremely good. It feels like we have been trying to copy them for 10 years, but they are still moving faster than we can catch up. It feels like the gap is getting bigger, sometimes...
