This one is a no brainer. With other industry players yet to find their bearings, DJI remains the defacto choice for drone pilots across the world. Drone shipments are set to triple to 29 million by 2021 – and currently, with no competition in sight, DJI looks set to grab the lion’s share of this business. Apart from interesting commentary about the drone business, you will also get updates on any upcoming webinars.
