Let's Talk Drones – Details, episodes & analysis

On this episode of the LTD Podcast we are joined by Randall Warnas, the Chief Executive Officer of Anzu Robotics.

Anzu Robotics has been shaking up the commercial drone industry in recent months with the announcement of their brand-new UAV platforms: the Raptor and Raptor T (Thermal).

The Raptor series is a reimagination of DJI's Mavic 3 Enterprise, touting nearly identical specs and features for pilots to sink their teeth into. Based in the United States. Manufactured in Malaysia. Serving the International drone market. Anzu Robotics and the Raptor drone series have piqued the interest of nearly every serious drone enthusiast in the game today.

In light of the recent proposed bans of DJI drones in the United States, will Anzu Robotics have what it takes to rise to the occasion? Let's learn more, Let's Talk Drones!

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!

This month's episode of Let's Talk Drones the Podcast features...well, me! I had an unfortunate cancellation from my intended guest for July's episode, so I decided to fill the gap with an episode where I answer questions from my followers on Instagram! This one is a little different from our previous episodes of the podcast, but I hope you enjoy it regardless! Instead of plugging my own social platforms in the description, I'm going to give this episode's sponsor a plug instead!

Edgar Hurtado is a drone enthusiast and Part 107 certified remote pilot based in Southern California. While many drone pilots on the podcast and in general tend to lean more toward photography and videography, Edgar puts a Phantom 4 V2 to work for mapping and land surveying with DRG, Inc. in Camarillo, California (I say Camarito at the beginning of the show like a buffoon, don't mind me).

Edgar has a unique perspective on drones in the workforce and puts his skills behind the sticks to use every single day for both business and pleasure. That's why it was such an honor to host him on Let's Talk Drones for a different take on flying UAVs!
