Drones for the Holidays: Aerial Video + Photo for Every Budget + Skill Level
Thursday, December 4, 2014 19:21
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
There is one product out there that has completely revolutionized the way we think about videography and photography, more so than any other in the last five years, and it’s not even made by a camera company. The multi-rotor, AKA “UAV” (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), AKA “drone,” has emerged from seemingly nowhere and captured everyone's imagination. The child in us loves to see machines fly. The nerd in us loves to learn how these things fly. The artist in us loves to imagine what sorts of amazing shots we could get if we only had a camera that could fly.
Multi-rotors are remote-controlled model aircraft that have more than two spinning blades. There are tri-copters, quad-copters, hexa-copters, octo-copters, and about any other kind of ’copter you can think of out there. What that amounts to, for photographers, is a very stable platform that can lift payloads such as cameras and gimbals (an essential tool that stabilizes the attached camera).
