In today’s show, we share our predictions for the drone industry in 2021.

2020 was a particularly turbulent year for the drone industry. Along with the pandemic, we also witnessed a significant increase in the anti-China rhetoric which compounded troubles for industry leader, DJI.

But with the end of the pandemic finally in sight, can we expect things to finally turn a corner in 2021? Can we expect a slew of new drones to be launched in 2021? What about the DJI Mavic 3? 

And, are there any industry dark horses that might challenge DJI’s dominant position?

Tune in to our animated discussion as we share our predictions for 2021. Fly Safe!
