Posted by Forrest Haller on May 24, 2016 at 9:11am I know that CANaerospace and MAVLink are frequently used, but I am having trouble finding out what DJI uses and what 3DR uses.

They were spec'ed for different purposes.
CAN is a high speed onboard interconnect. MAVLink is an offboard interconnect, primarily designed to interface with a GCS or other MAVs.
The OSI layers above number 4 (transport) are identical in terms of protocol. The message definitions are of course spec'ed for UAVs.
