Same as 99% of Chinese sellers on amazon - make a bad product, just rename, and have deepseek make you a new random short-as-possible company name with random characters and as human as possible.

DJI drones are nowhere near "bad", they're the best and nothing else comes close. It's a shame how they're sanctioned given there's no viable alternative. I always wonder why there's no Western company that has the same product offerings.

		DJI drones are the industry standard because they are very good and typically cost significantly less than non Chinese manufactured drones. I can't currently substantiate this claim with data, but I would be shocked if less than 80% of commercial drone flights in America used DJI. I think the actual number is going to be in the 90%+ range. There is one American company making comparable products, https://www.anzurobotics.com/. If I understand correctly, these are basically DJI hardware with American software. I don't know if they use DJI control boards or manufacturer their own but their FAQ does mention they license tech from DJI.

The reason for these odd names is Amazon requiring a registered trademark: https://www.slashgear.com/1336325/reason-amazon-sellers-have...

As for the quality, I’ve ordered a few products under some pretty outlandish names and I can’t say that quality was any worse than that of most other no-(real)-name things sold on Amazon.

In most electronic peripheral categories, like USB hubs, the "expensive" US stuff you buy for $100 and $150 are the same Chinese internals you get for $20.

Do you know any thunderbolt hubs like that?

		One starter article for how the market works - there are lots more. This one was discussed in HN too: https://overengineer.dev/blog/2021/04/25/usb-c-hub-madness/ Now, for hubs, I didn't need a full blown thunderbolt one, but my current hub this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F5PY4F2N?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_... which works fine - I looked at some competitors with 2x and 3x the money for the same and sometimes lesser specs.
