10 Cool Things You Can Do with a Drone
\n<\/strong>As soon as humans invent a moving thing, we try to race it, and drones are no exception. Drone racing leagues have sprung up across the U.S., with the Drone Racing League as the major professional outfit. Pilots with video goggles and catlike reflexes race high-speed, purpose-built drones through obstacle courses. Look for a local racing club near you.<\/p>\n

Awesome Aerial Videography
\n<\/strong>The DJI Mavic 2 Zoom Quadcopter Drone with 2x Optical Zoom<\/a> from Buydig.com can get shots that are impossible from the ground. Imagine watching a fireworks display from 400 feet! Take pictures of your car or boat from unique angles. You can even make an awesome drone time-lapse video.<\/p>\n

Action Cam Drone
\n<\/strong>Some drones, like the DJI Mavic Air<\/a> have ActiveTrack. This allows the drone to follow its operator around. Imagine being able to film yourself surfing, kayaking down a raging river, or racing a bicycle through the mountains.<\/p>\n

Drone Selfies
\n<\/strong>Use your high-performance DJI Spark<\/a> camera to get the perfect profile pic, or to commemorate a special event with your friends. Getting the ideal angle is easy when you can move your camera anywhere. Weddings, anniversaries \u2013 the possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n

\"cool
\nLook Over Your Property
\n<\/strong>Want to see if your roof is okay without breaking out a ladder? Want to check up on the tops of your trees? Need a 360-degree video for insurance? Your drone is the perfect tool for getting eyes on that hard-to-reach part of your property.<\/p>\n

\"cool<\/p>\n

Join a Drone Club
\n<\/strong>Flying a drone doesn’t have to be a solo experience. There are thousands of model aircraft clubs across the U.S., and some even have their own airfields. Check out the Academy of Model Aeronautics or your local university. Get tech experience, new ideas, help with repairs, or just go out and have fun with new friends.<\/p>\n

\"coolMake Maps or 3-D Models
\n<\/strong>Need an updated photo map of your property? Want a 3-D model of something big? Fly your DJI Inspire Drone<\/a> with the Zenmuse X5 and X5R micro 4\/3 cameras drone around it, take a bunch of pictures from different angles, and create a map or model. You can use software to create 3-D models from your photos, or to make maps.<\/p>\n

Start Your Own Drone Business
\n<\/strong>Drones are being used in businesses like aerial surveying, crop management, commercial aerial videography, and small package delivery. You’ll need to get a remote pilot airman certificate, and you’ll be able to operate under a more permissive set of rules. Once you’re cleared to fly, the sky’s the limit!<\/p>\n

Synchronized Drone Dancing
\n<\/strong>Get a bunch of drones. Light them up. Get them to fly together in interesting patterns. It’s complicated and expensive, but the payoff is amazing!<\/p>\n

Locate Lost Pets
\n<\/strong>You can use the remote controller with built-in screen on your Phantom 4 Pro Quadcopter Drone<\/a> to quickly survey a large neighborhood or wooded area for lost pets.<\/p>\n
