Drone1.0 (Competition for aerial Photography)-2016

Among aerial photography majors, aerial photography in the form of customized body single-lens reflector cameras has expanded around 2012 (this is a profitable time for those who start the aerial photography business). Since around 2014, the Phantom of DJI has appeared, and the body has stabilized with each chase version, as well as professional aerial cameras such as Inspire. Among them, the resolution of HD, full HD, 4K and cameras are also improving, aerial photos are close, and high quality.

At the same time, as a result of falling into the White House and the Prime Minister's residence in 2015, "drones" have attracted a lot of attention as a social event, making it difficult to fly easily (radio-controlled vs drones have also emerged in Japan). Taking advantage of the changes to the air law at the end of 2015, drones have changed from gadgets for Consumer and Prosumo to devices for business use (it is not just Japan, where rules for flying around the world have become stricter and positioning has been changed in the same way).

In this Drone1.0, DJI is very competitive.

Here, the biggest competitor is 3DR. But it was defeated in the first battle.

Parrot has also pulled out of the Kansumo market, and industrial use is not very strong. In this case, the era of strong DJI1 in 2016 has come. It is also almost everywhere in the world.
