In the past aerial photography was undertaken by either fixed wing aircraft or helicopters which were both very expensive and came with major restrictions such as an airfield or helipad to operate from which may be some distance from where the filming was to take place.
The technology of modern unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or drones as they are called, has provided operators with an almost unlimited scope of applications to provide clients with a wide range of services to meet their individual needs and at a far more reasonable cost. Modern UAVs are highly portable, incorporate high quality cameras and can be used in areas and situations previously inaccessible to fixed wing aircraft or helicopters and at a much more reasonable cost.
Ideal applications for using small UAVs or drones can be divided into 3 sectors: Commercial, Entertainment and Public Service.
A. Commercial:-
Formal Events - weddings, family reunions, school proms, promotional parties and PR
Sporting Events - where the flexibility of the UAV can allow different perspectives and angles without having to move.
Real Estate - exterior shots to put property in its full context, something additional to competitors, on-line tours, sales videos, PR
Construction - site surveys, site mapping, progress updates, structural analysis, damage analysis, PR.
Energy Industry Monitoring - powerline surveys, wind turbine surveys, solar farm surveys both photo and thermal, PR.
Agriculture - crop surveys both photo and thermal, PR.
B. Entertainment:-
Film Making - commercial productions, You Tube, instructional, personal memories.
C. Public Services:-
