IT security researcher Konrad Iturbe has discovered DJI logos in Federal Communications Commission documentation for Lyno Dynamics LLC, a company registered just days ago. The FCC filing for the LD220RC controller contains technical drawings showing DJI branding, despite the company presenting itself as a separate manufacturer of agricultural drone equipment.
The discovery adds another entity to the growing network of companies bringing DJI-based technology to market through alternative branding as the Chinese drone giant faces a December 2025 regulatory deadline.
DJI Branding in New Company’s Federal Filing
The evidence appears in Lyno Dynamics’ FCC filing for its LD220RC remote controller, identified under FCC ID 2BQ98-LD220RC. Technical documentation within the filing shows DJI logos on controller components, revealing the manufacturing origin despite the rebranding effort.
The filing’s filename references “LD220-Steady.png,” while the controller designation matches the company’s brand identity. However, the internal documentation tells a different story about the hardware’s true manufacturer.
Connection to Skyhigh Components and Talos Distribution
Iturbe’s investigation reveals that components branded as “Skyhigh” in earlier FCC filings are now appearing under multiple company names. The researcher explained that Skyhigh drone technology is “now sold under Lyno Dynamics brand, as well as Talos brand.”
Talos Drones operates as a DJI authorized dealer and partner, selling both genuine DJI Agras equipment and its own branded T60X agricultural sprayer. Talos represents a more transparent operation compared to newly formed entities like Lyno Dynamics.
Skyhigh Tech LLC’s earlier YKBP RC 2 controller filing from April 2025 showed components operating on standard DJI OcuSync frequencies: 2.4-2.483GHz, 5.15-5.25GHz, and 5.725-5.85GHz. These frequency ranges create technical fingerprints specific to DJI’s proprietary communication protocols.
Agricultural Market Adaptation Under Regulatory Pressure
Lyno Dynamics appears to be marketing an agricultural drone variant, possibly related to DJI’s Agras T100 or similar commercial spraying equipment. The agricultural drone market has become a focal point for alternative branding strategies as companies race against regulatory deadlines.
DJI faces a December 23, 2025 deadline for a mandatory security review under the FY 2025 National Defense Authorization Act. If incomplete, DJI will automatically join the FCC’s “Covered List,” effectively banning new drone sales by restricting spectrum access.
Iturbe’s automated monitoring system scans FCC filings daily for DJI’s OcuSync frequency signatures, enabling rapid detection of new entities. His documentation now includes Anzu Robotics, Cogito Tech, Knowact Robot, SkyRover, WaveGo Tech, Skyany, Fikaxo, Jovistar, and now Lyno Dynamics.
DroneXL’s Take
Lyno Dynamics’ formation timeline tells the story—registered within days and already submitting FCC documentation containing manufacturer logos that should have been removed. This speed suggests either remarkable efficiency or established infrastructure enabling rapid market entry for DJI-based products under new brand names.
The agricultural sector presents unique dynamics that complicate straightforward categorization. Farmers need working equipment regardless of Washington politics, and DJI’s technical dominance means few alternatives exist at comparable price points. The market is adapting through multiple channels: authorized dealers like Talos, component suppliers like Skyhigh, and newly formed entities like Lyno Dynamics.
The December deadline continues driving rapid company formations. Researchers like Iturbe provide systematic documentation that traditional regulatory approaches might miss, creating a paper trail of logos, component specifications, and frequency signatures that reveal true manufacturers behind the alternative brand names.

Correction: An earlier version of this article focused on Talos Drones and incorrectly stated that Skyhigh Tech’s FCC filing contained DJI logos. The logos actually appear in Lyno Dynamics LLC’s FCC filing for the LD220RC controller. This corrected article reflects the accurate information about Lyno Dynamics as the newly registered company with DJI branding in federal documents.
