Escribens Media pilots almost exclusively fly drones manufactured by DJI Enterprise. DJI is the industry leader and currently owns approximately 70% market share. The specific model of drone that will be used on your project can vary; however, all are minimally equipped with cameras capable of shooting video in 4K resolution. In almost all cases, the pilot assigned to your project will be using a DJI Mavic, Phantom, or Inspire model drone.
