DJI drones can now run 3DR's Site Scan software as old competitors become friends

But its flagship drone, the Solo, never really became a big hit, and soon after the company exited the consumer business and raised a last-ditch funding round to try to pivot to an enterprise offering.

This is a big deal for two reasons.
