There's no doubt about it – DJI is the industry-leading maker of the best drones. However, if you're in the US that's a problem because of the uncertainty around future restrictions and current bans on Chinese-made drone tech amid data security concerns. Cue Anzu Robotics, a new name in the drone space and a DJI alternative that actually uses DJI tech.
Launched by former Autel Robotics CEO Randal Warnas, the new company Anzu Robotics has fast-tracked the creation of high-quality drones by licensing proven DJI drone technology. In a one-time deal for its new Raptor series of drones (and no ongoing DJI partnership being reported), Anzu Robotics has used DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise hardware: a highly-rated professional folding drone from 2022 with superb 20MP micro four thirds sensor.
