Some 3D Robotics (3DR) Drone PDF User Manuals above the page.
Until 2012, the American company 3D Robotics Inc. was not known to the venerable public, although 2009 is officially considered the date of its foundation.
First, 3D Robotics enters the RC market as an enterprise software developer. Now it is the largest multicopter developer and manufacturer in the United States.
The company is headquartered in Berkeley, California. There is also a branch in Mexico (Tijuana, British Columbia).
3D Robotics specializes in the design of multi-rotor systems and fixed wing drones for various purposes.
The flexible pricing policy of the manufacturer allows its products to be in the “market average” niche and at the same time demonstrate high technical characteristics. This allows 3DR drones to compete successfully with similar Chinese models.
The main direction of 3D Robotics work is the creation of multicopters for solving various production tasks. For example, in 2016, the company's engineers worked with Sony and Autodesk to develop the Solo drone.
An interesting feature of 3DR models is open source code. That is, any knowledgeable modeller can independently modify the flight characteristics of the model for solving certain problems.
