Why A Drone?

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!
