Apart from the well-recognized name DJI, more than 300 Shenzhen-based drone makers are expanding their territories around the world, making the city the hub of world's civilian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

"Shenzhen has become the distribution hub of the drone industry around the globe. Seventy percent of the world's civilian drone market share has been captured by the city, and more than 300 domestic manufacturers are working in the sector, generating more than 20 billion yuan ($3 billion) in sales," said a report in National Business Daily on Monday, citing Yang Jincai, director of Shenzhen UAV Industry Association (SZUAVIA).

According to Yang, 90 percent of world's drone products, especially UAVs produced for civilian customers, are manufactured in Shenzhen and shipped around the globe.

As of December last year, the number of domestic enterprises associated with manufacturing and R&D of civilian drones have surpassed 400, with one in four making drones for agriculture and farming.

Statistics from China's Ministry of Agriculture estimated that the occurrence area of crop diseases and insect pests will reach 5.5 billion mu (3.7 million square kilometers), and if one third of the farmland is able to utilize drones to approach insect pests control services, the market scale will reach 80 billion yuan.

"In addition to the endurance and loading capabilities that are needed to be improved, the bottlenecks of domestic agriculture drone development also come from the immature market acceptance and business operating models," said Hu Xuedong, an industry insider from smart hardware department of avc-mr.com.

An exhibition titled the 5th Shenzhen International Intelligent Transportation System and Location-based Services Expo that focuses on UAV industry was held in the city through June 17 to 19. About 110 manufacturers displayed more than 230 latest drones, including fixed-wing drones, multi-propeller drones and even airships.

According to Beijing-based iResearch Consulting Group, the value of China's drone industry could rise as high as 75 billion yuan ($11.4 billion) in the next decade.

At the end of 2025, UAV will be used largely for aerial photography, farm chemical spraying, forest protection and security, it said, adding that the civilian drone market has grown more than 50 percent in recent years.

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- InterDrone 2016 -- Epson, providers of the Moverio® augmented reality (AR) smart eyewear platform, today announced a partnership with DJI, the world's leading maker of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), to create new solutions for the Epson Moverio smart glasses and DJI's suite of products and software development kit (SDK) that enhance the safety, productivity and capabilities of UAVs for hobbyists and professionals alike.

As one of the first initiatives of the partnership, DJI will optimize the DJI GO app for the Epson Moverio BT-300 AR smart glasses, shipping late Q4. With the app and the Moverio glasses, drone pilots will be able to see crystal clear, transparent first person views (FPV) from the drone camera while simultaneously maintaining their line of sight with their aircraft. The DJI GO app works with the DJI Phantom, Inspire and Matrice series flying platforms as well as the Osmo handheld gimbal and camera.

The two companies will co-market the Moverio BT-300 as a compatible DJI accessory. The Epson smart glasses will be available for purchase on DJI.com while the DJI GO app will be available for download from the Moverio Apps Market.

The Epson/DJI partnership arrives as newly streamlined FAA regulations for UAVs took effect last week, making it easier for businesses to expand the use of drones for a variety of aerial photography and videography purposes. Construction, real estate, insurance, agriculture, emergency response, conservation, academic research, film and video production and numerous other fields that benefit from UAVs have embraced the relaxed rules. However, the FAA has maintained the rule that UAVs must remain within the visual line-of-sight (VLOS) of the remote pilot, reinforcing the relevance of the Epson and DJI partnership.

"The Moverio BT-300 marks an impressive advance in performance for the platform and will make flying and filming safer and help users stay in compliance with federal regulations," said Michael Perry, director of strategic partnerships, DJI. "We are excited to see the incredible applications that can be built with the BT-300 and the recently relaunched DJI SDK – the possibilities truly are endless."

DJI maintains a 70 percent market share of the $2 billion consumer drone market, and its aerial platforms are used by two-thirds of businesses approved by the FAA to operate commercially. More than 600,000 UAVs are expected to be in use in 2017. 1

"We believe this partnership with DJI will revolutionize how UAV pilots operate their aircraft in this fast-growing industry, now and into the future," said Eric Mizufuka, product manager, New Ventures for Epson America. "In addition to validating Epson's investment in its Moverio line, this is the first time AR smart glasses will be widely available for a mass-market consumer application, marking an historic milestone in the evolution of the category."

In addition to making drone piloting safer, the goals of the partnership include providing pilots and film-makers with new AR tools for enhanced productivity when using a UAV. Epson and DJI will also work together to create entirely new experiences for the fast-growing number of UAV hobbyists and businesses, as well as conduct joint sales and marketing efforts worldwide.

Launching its first-generation smart glasses in 2011, the Epson Moverio BT-300 represent the world's lightest binocular, transparent smart glasses with an OLED display. Combining breakthrough silicon-based OLED digital display technology and Android OS 5.1, the Moverio BT-300 enables truly transparent mobile AR experiences. The Epson Moverio BT-300 will be available in late Q4 and may be pre-ordered at Epson.com/Moverio. For a complete product overview of the Moverio BT-300, please visit the following link.

Epson will be demonstrating the DJI GO app on the Moverio BT-300 during InterDrone 2016 in Las Vegas, Booth 81 this week, Sept. 7-9

China's Da Jiang Innovation (DJI), world's largest drone maker, recently launched its first pocket-sized drone: DJI Mavic Pro.

Featured with the following, DJI Mavic Pro is a small yet powerful drone that turns the sky into your creative canvas easily:
- Compact: H83mm x W83mm x L198mm, 743g in weight only

- Flight Autonomy: Mavic uses FlightAutonomy technology to sense obstacles up to 15m away. It can then bypass these obstacles or brake to hover, preventing accidents even when flying beyond visual range.

- Precision Hover: with forward and downward vision sensors, the Mavic can hover precisely indoors or in places without GPS

- Stay flying longer: Mavic actually flies much longer than you would expect from its compact size. It is capable of reaching an absolute max flight time of 27 minutes and a maximum distance of 13km due to its powerful, high efficiency motors.

- Active tracking: You will not need a film crew when you fly the Mavic because all you need is ActiveTrack. Just tell it who to track and it handles the rest, making you shoot like a pro.

- Wave for your dronie: With the Mavic in the air pointing at you, a gesture is all it takes to snap a photo. Get selfies like you’ve never seen before with Mavic’s Gesture Mode

- See the world like a bird: Fly with a turn of your head and see the world from the eyes of a bird when you wear the super high quality wireless DJI Goggles, a VR glass!

With all these features, it costs only RMB 6,499, or $980.
