I have become super interested in drones and doing a lot of
research in preparation of buying one and that day finally came..... I bought a DJI Phantom 3 Advance. Drones are also known as UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle).Why a drone? Well to begin with I
believe it will be an important tool for my land brokerage business and I
believe it will help sell more property. A drone provides photographs (and
video) from oblique angle that are awesome! If you are buying a large tract of
land, farm or ranch you really want to see lots of aerial views including
satellite images.
The software even records your flight and photo/videos!!
There are many uses from drones and some include:
Agriculture - "Agriculture, far and away, is going
to be the dominant market for UAV operations," according to Gielow. The
precision agriculture movement uses technology to monitor fields, increasing
yields and saving money. Gielow noted that precision applications of
pesticides, water, or fertilizers, which drones can help by identifying exactly
where such resources are needed. Drone cameras can spot where nitrogen levels
are low, meanwhile, or watch the growth of a specific field section, can also
help farmers. Drones with infrared light cameras can reveal plant health by
reflecting how efficient photosynthesis is in various plants. The uses of
drones in agriculture are endless.
Security and reconnaissance – commonly use in police force and military.
Drones can photograph suspected illegal activity including immigrants crossing
the borders so law enforcement can react in a timely manner. The military uses
drones to deliver munitions.
Photography (Real Estate) – Drones deliver great aerial photographs from
oblique angles. However, change
is on the horizon. The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 tasked the FAA
with implementing clear-cut regulations allowing for the commercial use of
UAVs, by no later than September 30, 2015. In the meantime, Realtors ® are in a
wait and hold pattern.
Entertainment - use for simple recreation these vehicles are just fun! However images
and videos are commonly used in sporting events, film making, the list is
endless.
Commercial – Even Amazon has on the drawing board plans
to deliver packages in urban areas.
As you can see, the
uses are endless and this in not a comprehensive list.
Have fun and fly
safe!
