The feed on this page is ordered newest first, so the top entry is the most recent story we have published across every beat. If you want one subject rather than the whole wire, the beat links above the feed narrow it to DJI, FAA, police, Ukraine, FPV, reviews or industry.
Our own reporting, plus primary documents — FCC filings, FAA rulemaking dockets, court records, company announcements and manufacturer firmware notes. We say where a claim comes from, and we distinguish a photographed leak or a filed document from an unsourced rumor.
The DJI news desk collects every DJI story in one feed, and the DJI Rumors page filters that down to leaks and unannounced products. Both are reachable from the DJI News item in the top menu.
One email with the drone news that matters — DJI, FAA, public safety, and everything in between, straight from the newsroom. No spam, no fluff.
