Born in Shenzhen, the first special economic zone of China, DJI constructed its brand image as an innovation leader by developing the Phantom, the world’s first ready-made drone. After that, the age of consumer drones took off with the release of the Mavic, a compact drone with foldable wings. Regarded as the “Apple of the drone industry,” DJI continues to spearhead the global drone market.
