LTD Podcast #0017 | Wayne Baker of DJI

On this episode of the LTD Podcast we are joined by DJI's very own cowboy, Wayne Baker! Wayne is the Director of Stakeholder Relations for DJI and is most famously known for his work in North America for DJI's Enterprise division. If you want anything DJI for your commercial drone operation, Wayne is the guy to talk to at DJI and he's happy to provide technology that is effective and affordable, especially for first responders. During this conversation we touch on quite a few topics, but specifically we touch upon DJI's position on the recent passing and proposal of anti-DJI (Chinese) drone legislation in the United States on a federal and state level. We discuss how DJI is responding to these allegations of unsafe and malicious data practices and how they are working with the US government to maintain position in the North American market. All that and more with Wayne Baker, so Let's Talk Drones!
