A month ago a video series of DJI's history was released on youtube, mostly focusing on founder Wang Tao (Frank Wang).
I found it interesting, especially the financial troubles he had in the beginning and how a mentor and professor helped him out.
And also that DJI a period had a North American branch.

Stumbled across the first two completely by chance on YouTube. Followed your link for part 3... thanks...

Genuinely interesting mini-documentary, intriguing to note the corporate stab-in-the-back from his American marketing 'partner'.
 
I watched the first part a few weeks ago! Good to know the sequels have been released.

So much of the drone tech we take for granted every day took an intense amount of time and energy (and money) to research and perfect.

Take hovering for example. It was a long and difficult road for consumer drones to reach the hovering capabilities we enjoy today.
I remember when I first got my Air 3, I was amazed at the hovering and stabilization capabilities and even took a video of it hovering and stabilizing the gimbal perfectly under intense wind conditions!

Yes, and still we are not even close to the hovering capabilities of birds - but they have had millions of years to perfect their gimbal :)
