There is a general rule of thumb when buying drones: the more features it has, the more expensive it is to buy. You might say that this is true with most gadgets. Getting a long range drone means that you have fewer chances of losing the signal when you are flying it, and as a result, you have more control over what the drone can do. This is especially true when it comes to photography and videography. Long range drones offer you more dynamism in this aspect. They also come with a couple of wonderful advantages which include:
We are a highly visual species. There is no denying that fact. All you would have to do is take a look at any social media platform, and you will see a myriad of selfies to confirm it. Indeed, smartphone photography has come a long way. In that time, it has taken on a whole new dimension as smartphone manufacturers try their best to keep up with the demands of a selfie-crazed world. While front-facing cameras have higher-resolutions than most professional cameras and selfie-sticks can help you capture wider angles, today, if you have the money and are so inclined, you can take your very own professional self-portrait using your phone. However, selfie sticks don’t always allow you to get as wide an angle as most people would like. That is why selfie drones are the new craze.
Digital marketing has taken on a sharp turn; one that has seen video marketing propelled to the center-stage alongside other highly converting options such as content and email marketing. Some reports indicate using a product video on your landing can increase your conversion rate by up to 80%. 80%!! No matter how you slice it, that is an excellent ROI. So why not consider drone videography for your marketing strategy?
Drones have burst into marketing and completely revolutionized how we do a lot of things from photography, the delivery of goods, surveillance and even land surveying. Although still relatively new, drone surveying is something that most land survey professionals are quickly embracing and adding to their arsenal of tools. Granted, not very many land survey companies have adapted to the use of drones to carry out surveys. But as time goes and the technology gets better with far more powerful drones being produced, there is no doubt that most will head in this direction. Here is everything you need to know about drone surveying.
Drones have become a major part of our lives in many aspects; this includes photography, videography, but most importantly field mapping using drone surveying. Drones have the ability to map an area or object, no matter the size, in a matter of minutes whereas it takes humans hours, days, or weeks. Plus, drones have become so widely used that even the simple hobby models can achieve UAV survey grade mapping accuracy in a 3D model or a photogrammetric map.
Professional drones are distinct from their recreational counterparts in a multitude of ways. Larger, stronger, faster, and utterly capable of high-performance tasks, professional drones are marketed to consumers seeking a cutting-edge addition to their commercial operations and management.
Vastly different from their smaller, lighter weight, and cheaper counterparts, professional drones are heavy duty pieces of machinery that are equipped with an arsenal of performance accessories to result in a multifunctional tool that is readily capable of taking on a remarkable array of tasks.

Photogrammetry is a process involving the generation of precise measurements from photographs and is typically used an application for line plotting on topography maps. In recent times, however, photogrammetry has evolved into a multipurpose technique that has been readily integrated into an array of modern applications.
Photogrammetry incorporates remote sensing and accelerated photography to create precision measurements that are capable of processing two-dimensional photographs into three-dimensional models. This unique ability of photogrammetry has produced an intense level of interest from a large collection of businesses, programs, and individuals.
