Aussie Drone Dealer: XAG Tech, Rules & USA vs Australia | The DroneOn Show Episode 41

In this DroneOn Show episode, Mike and the crew sit down with Jamin Fleming from Oztech Drones in Australia. Jamin shares his journey in the spray drone space: starting with the classic DJI MG-1 in 2017–2018 (when most drones were still "dodgy"), becoming one of Australia's main XAG dealers, and navigating the unique Australian market—strict regulations, metric-only mindset (liters, not gallons!), vast remote properties, and the need for rugged, reliable gear. They geek out on XAG tech advantages, compare it to DJI in real-world use, and swap stories on everything from late-night China business dinners to cultural differences. The conversation veers into fun tangents like Bass Pro Shops, American vs. Australian perceptions, and why Aussies think the U.S. is wild. A great international perspective on spray drone life, dealer insights, and global ag drone trends.
