DJI Drone and Camera Systems

DJI, short for Da-Jiang Innovations, is the world's leading manufacturer of civilian drones and creative camera technology. Founded in 2006 by Frank Wang in a college dorm room at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the brand quickly established itself as a pioneer in the industry. Its headquarters and primary manufacturing facilities are located in Shenzhen, China, often referred to as the 'Silicon Valley of Hardware'.

Since its inception, DJI has grown from a small prototype startup into a global powerhouse, capturing a significant majority of the consumer drone market. The company is privately held and is famous for its Phantom, Mavic, and Enterprise series, as well as its Ronin gimbal systems. While DJI has faced increasing regulatory scrutiny in international markets like the United States, it remains the dominant player in the global UAV sector, maintaining its innovation edge through internal R&D and vertical manufacturing in mainland China.
