Amazing Things Drones Can Help You Do
While most people are still getting used to the new level of opportunities opened up by the innovative technologies, some people already benefit from it. The unmanned drones are the perfect example for this. People use drones to solve various problems: from delivering goods to fishing to entertainment. Here are the most fascinating things drones can help you with.
Become a better photographer
The first photo was taken in the beginning of the 19th century. For the next few decades, photos were something rare, special, and not quite accessible for everyone. Today, you can easily take thousands of pictures in a few hours, even if you do not have a professional camera. But with the newest drones coming to the market, you do not need to hold anything in your hands in order to find a perfect view and take a picture. Drones will do that for you.
These three UAV may be a great alternative for your professional camera and selfie stick.
Nixie: the wearable camera that can fly
Nixie is one of the finalists of the Make It Wearable challenge organized by Intel. The device the guys created is still in the early development stage, but it looks like we will see in on the market sooner, rather than later.
According to Nixie’s founder Christoph Kohstall, the main idea is to combine drone with a camera and to make the new device look like a watch. With that made, people will be able to literally wear a flying camera and use it whenever they need: on a walk, while climbing a mountain, inside and outside any building.
Since the device is not yet finished, there is not much technical information available. But you can imagine how it would be like to own this Nixie drone while watching the video below.
SKEYE Nano Drone with Camera
In contrast to Nixie, SKEYE Nano Drone is already available and costs only $69. The device is actually a quadcopter with an in-built camera. This drone can fly around, take pictures or shoot video. It can help you improve your photography skills and brings a lot of fun to your family, friends, and even pets.
To see how it works, watch the following video.
TBS Discovery Pro
Team Black Sheep, or simply TBS, has a few flying devices with professional cameras on board that can be really helpful when you want to capture something from the bird’s eye view. A few years ago, the only way to do that was to take a plane or helicopter. Today, you do not need world best airlines to help you raise above Burj Khalifa in Dubai and take a perfect picture of it. The drone can do this for you.
Get rid of your fears
Every person has a list of fears they have to live with. And although facing your biggest fear often may be a good thing to do, you do not have to put your life and health at risk all the time. Some drones can help you accomplish your mission and keep you away from danger.
Here are the three most dangerous situations when you can use a drone instead of a human.
Watch an eruption
Some people want or even need to be extremely close to a volcano, despite the fact that this may cost them their lives. But if you have a drone with all the required equipment attached, you may stay far away from the danger yet still achieve your goal. For example, if you are a completely crazy photographer or a scientist who needs to take a closer look at an eruption, you may use a drone instead of actually walking to the volcano crater with a camera in your hands.
Furthermore, you can enjoy the hypnotizing view of an eruption and feel like you were there, right above the awakened volcano, without leaving your home.
Fight the fire
Whether or not you are a firefighter, a firefighting drone is a thing that might come in handy one day. This drone may be really helpful when it comes to extinguishing the fire. With drone’s help, you can find the source of the fire or identify the most dangerous parts of it. The drones may also be used by the rescue teams that are looking for people who get lost in a flaming forest. The bigger UAVs may even be used as an alternative to planes that bring water to the heat source.
Rescue people from the water
A drone with a camera is a perfect assistant for the rescue teams when it comes to finding people lost in the water. It helps you expand the search area without involving too many people in the process. Moreover, there is a drone that can fly, float and function underwater. This broad range of features make it an ideal tool for search and rescue missions over and under water.
Set new records
There are some newest technologies that let people set new records, and drones are definitely on the list of the innovations of that kind. Here are the latest records set with the help of the drones.
Drone Megacopter
A group of Norwegian scientists created a giant remote-controlled drone with 48 propellers. The device was able to lift 61 kg (over 134 lbs), which is the heaviest weight lifted by a remote-controlled drone so far.
Drone Flash Mob
This year, Intel has set a Guinness World Record by launching 100 drones simultaneously. These UAVs were not simply flying above the ground; they were performing a quite amusing show. There was even an orchestra playing Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 during the drone’s flight. Instead of the final movement of the symphony, though, the orchestra played Intel’s melody.
Get a new flying pet
While most innovators work on the UAVs that are useful and may help people on a daily basis, like the delivery drones, the others try to bring their dreams to live. And some of them even succeed, giving the world something truly special and unique, like the bionic birds, butterflies, or dragonflies.
If you always wanted to keep a bird in your house, you do not actually need to keep a real bird in a cell anymore. There is a robotic drone that behaves almost like a real bird.
You can also choose some really beautiful insect instead of a bird, and enjoy it flying around without harming any living creatures. Moreover, these drones usually are way bigger than their prototypes and are not afraid of you at all.
