Top drone features in 2017

Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that many people considered crazy years ago.

However, drones suddenly became very well known in the consumer market.

Drones can be used for various things, be it educational, commercial or even military purposes (originally created for it). These little robotic machines give us a new perspective on the world.

Non-military drones are also a cheaper version and a readily available way to help many large and small businesses accomplish many tasks.

It is known that drones can reduce operating costs, unnecessary risks and the lives of many people.

Want to know more about these robotic planes? Below are some of the uses of drones:

Inspection

Inspection has become easier; risk-free and has improved safety at work. Before the invention of drones, inspectors risked their incredible lives by revealing themselves to extreme conditions and dangerous areas.

Drones provide faster access and real-time visual inspection without putting anyone’s life at risk. These UAVS are excellent inspection equipment for power lines, gas and oil pipelines, weak buildings and other dangerous and inaccessible areas.

aerial photography and video

Before UAVs, some extraordinary and impressive movie shoots and even some photography required a sky-like view, especially from a helicopter or some kind of tall structure.

Drones have allowed these experts to take photos and Full HD/4K videos from the air. That benefited the industry significantly simply because those expensive and complicated helicopter shoots disappeared.

Shipping and Delivery

Big and powerful companies like Amazon, DHL and UPS have found potential when it comes to delivering and shipping packages. It is said that they will revolutionize the small package delivery industries, such as pizza, medicine and letters.

Medical Care/Search and Rescue/Law Enforcement

In most cases, drones are equipped with thermal sensors and some other technologies to pinpoint the location of missing persons. Your camera also has a night vision feature, which allows you to navigate difficult terrain at night and in dark areas.

In difficult conditions, drones are very useful devices for searching and rescuing people. It can be deployed in a matter of seconds and increases the chances of survival.

A superior perspective improves the work of surveillance and that is something that several police departments around the world are aware of.

Topography and geographic mapping

Drones were made to reach hard-to-reach places like mountain tops, deserts, coastlines, and many more. In addition, they are equipped with a very high resolution camera and data to create 3D maps. From basic mapping to topographical results, drones have made everything much easier and cheaper.
