DJI Product History Timeline (Drones, Gimbals, Cameras, & More)
See also: DJI Drone Sensor Size Comparison Page
I was doing an internet search for a consolidated timeline of DJI product releases over the past few years because I was curious about how often they come out with new drones, gimbals, and cameras. I couldn't really find any page that had a consolidated list... all I could find with product release dates was their news archive. So, I went ahead and while I was "relaxing" and watching a movie one evening, compiled a list of (most of?) DJI's product releases of interest since July 2012 based on their press release archive. The dates in this list link to the corresponding announcements on DJI's website. If I missed any drones, cameras, or gimbals, feel free to email me and provide the corresponding link to their press release archive, and I will update the list. I'll try to keep this list up to date as new products are announced in the future.
