Authorized Dealer for DJI (www.dji.com)UpTop Imaging, bringing a creative perspective...to an open world!!2014 has been the year of drone video, and it's almost entirely thanks to this Shenzhen, China-based company that makes the suddenly ubiquitous Phantom line of consumer drones. Phantoms are relatively inexpensive (about $1,300) remote-control quad-copters that are made for filming, some with stabilized HD cameras built in. The small and light drones are fairly user-friendly and extremely high-performance. They fly at speeds of up to 35 miles an hour and up to 400 feet. They also have GPS and stabilizing sensors to idiot-proof them as much as possible, with features that allow them to automatically return to where they launched should they lose contact with their remote. The company was founded in 2006, but in just the last three years, its sales have grown by a factor of 150, making it the fastest-growing drone manufacturer in the world. The most recent data has DJI's annual sales at $163 million, and we'd bet on that being a lot higher at the next tally.http://www.fastcompany.com/3041639/most-innovative-companies-2015/the-worlds-top-10-most-innovative-companies-of-2015-in-consum
