Statistics

• Here's proof: according to an analysis of FAA drone registration numbers by drone market research and data group Drone Industry Insights, DJI had a 76.8% market share in the U.S. (thedronegirl.com)
• Homes with aerial images sold 68% faster than homes with standard images. (alexdronephotography.com)
• A grey card is just a piece of thick paper that is a specific shade of grey (18%), which will be the foundation on which we choose our color temperature. (dronegenuity.com)
• Greater than 50% throttle stick position generates positive thrust, but less than 50% throttle stick position reverses the direction of the motors, allowing upside-down flying! (photographypro.com)
• Again, no stabilization is applied, and the 50% throttle stick position cuts the power to the motors. (photographypro.com)
