# Handheld Drone Camera Controllers This Camera Control System Boosts Aerial Photography Quality By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-06-09 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camera-control-system References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/dji-focus-drone-camera-control/43712/) & [dji](http://www.dji.com/product/focus) Drone photography is certainly taking off in more ways than one, but the advent of this innovative and revolutionary kind of photography necessitates the use of camera control systems that makes it easier than ever for photographers and drone operators to capture the kinds of shots and scenes that they desire. This is where the [DJI](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-sdr-transmission) [Focus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-record-player) comes in. This particular camera control system takes a compact, handheld form and is designed to work in conjunction with the DJI [Inspire](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inspire-2) drone. The system comes with a special wheel that allows you to select the degree of stiffness, so as to optimize your control of your drone. The Focus can work with other cameras on the drone and take advantage of its full 5-km range. At $2,000, the DJI Focus camera control system is not cheap, but this is still a small price to pay for unprecedented drone photography control. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Drone Photography:** Drone photography is becoming popular, creating a trend for more precise camera control systems and photo editing software. - **Handheld Camera Control Systems:** There is a trend for more compact and easy-to-use handheld camera control systems for aerial photography. - **Range Expansion:** The trend for longer drone ranges continues, encouraging camera control system manufacturers to develop products that take advantage of this extended range. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography Equipment:** Manufacturers of photography equipment have an opportunity to create drone-specific products tailored to the increasing demand for aerial photography. - **Consumer Electronics:** The growth of drone photography and the consumer market for drones creates opportunities for electronics companies to develop and market compatible products such as handheld camera controllers and smartphone apps. - **Drone Manufacturing:** Drone manufacturers can differentiate themselves and create new revenue streams by partnering with and/or developing new camera control systems that optimize their drones’ capabilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Mode Camera Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimode-camera-drones.md) - [Wearable Drone Controller Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-controller-concept.md) - [Remote Camera Control Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-sdr-transmission.md) - [Self-Stabilizing Photography Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-x1-selfflying-camera.md) - [4G Drone Remote Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-remote-controller.md) - [4-Axis Gimbal Cinema Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-ronin-4d.md) - [Foldable Camera Drone Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-1.md) - [Subject-Tracking Touchscreen Gimbals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-rs-5.md) - [Miniature Light Camera Stabilizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rs-3.md)
