DroneXL’s Take

The addition of the handheld category represents a significant evolution in DJI’s approach to visual storytelling. While the company built its reputation on aerial photography, this expansion acknowledges the growing importance of ground-based stabilized footage in professional content creation. The contest’s impressive prize pool and partnership with Hasselblad also underscore DJI’s commitment to both professional drone applications and traditional photography excellence.
