Just as Apple and Samsung are industry leaders in the smartphone market, DJI (Dà-Jiāng Innovation) completely dominates the drone field. There's no question: DJI drones offer superb image quality, seamless flying capability, and complete portability.
Their supremacy in the drone world forced many companies to fold, but there are still a couple of small drone makers that continue to stay afloat and for good reason. They offer something completely new to bring to the table (or in this case, air), and they're worth a look for drone fanatics and beginners alike. Here are a few worth considering.
