You should check out the Unusual Machines website. They aren't a DJI competitor, and likely never will be if they continue on their current track of selling FPV drone parts.

That's a bit of relief, but businesses do expand into markets that are natural for them. Not saying they're gonna do this - but to me as an avid DJI fan this is ominous news

I'm also an avid DJI fan (of course), and I welcome any new companies who can come to the table and compete. The more, the merrier!

That said, I don't believe any existing drone manufacturer (or drone parts manufacturer) is able to match DJI's capabilities. By the time competitors catch up, DJI will likely have already advanced to the next level.
