I think the grounds on the airfield was done on purposely to look kind of shabby as to avoid attention from spy satellites and such.

My question is does a UAV of that size have that kind of range. Those shots are pretty high up. The site where I got those shots said the UAV was captured by the rebels so that brings up a lot of questions if true.
Interesting that their "about" page mentions nothing about having an HQ in shenzhen (which would naturally lead one to believe they are a chinese company).
Brand power?

Btw the walkera drone is definitely also a chinese company
I saw a video a year or so ago where a chinese quad copter drone was being used by a police department in the US. I wonder how the civilian uav industry of china compares with the rest of the world...

DJI Innovations is a Western company. It's CEO is Colin Guinn. There's a video here .
It's not uncommon for Western companies to set up their headquarters in China. A big one is Wison Engineering, dealing among other things, power generation.
BTW, their webpage has a western feel to it. The font, layout, etc.
