DJI has risen to become the top consumer drone maker.
In only a handful of years DJI has risen to become the top consumer drone maker. The company's latest DJI Phantom 4, which earned a Mashable Choice award, was praised for its refined design, intelligent computer vision-based obstacle avoidance system and easy-to-use flying controls (both with a remote control and a smartphone/tablet).
As drones become more popular with consumers, more companies are entering the space. GoPro's expected to unveil its Karma drone later this year and Chinese tech giant Xiaomi will announce its own drone (likely to be called "Mi Drone") on May 25.
