DJI, the industry leader by volume in camera drones, has introduced a new version of its flagship Phantom camera drone, the Phantom 4 Advanced. The Phantom 4 Advanced sits in between its consumer-grade Phantom 4 and its Phantom 4 Pro for prosumers and professional photographers. Demand for drones continues to increase, with Strategy Analytics forecasting 72% annual global growth for the segment in 2017.
