The FCC is fining HobbyKing for selling non-compliant video transmitters. Here is a link to the details: http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-drone-transmitters-complaint-spurs-proposed-2-8-million-fcc-penalty

Wow, this isn't just one or two items they've sold that are illegal but 65 models!

"ARRL told the Enforcement Bureau in 2017 that the devices “represent a real and dangerous threat to the safety of flight, especially when operated from a drone platform that can be hundreds of feet in the air.”"

These are some serious allegations and $2.8million is some pretty good chunk of change.

I wouldn't be shocked to see more shops/manufacturers listed. I'd bet the vast majority of it is made in a couple of different shops in China, and they just put whoever's manufacturer sticker on it.
