Ask HN: What are you using drones for?

1 pointsby msangiover 6 years ago
I&#x27;ve seen a few people buying drones and using them for photography.<p>While that&#x27;s a perfectly fine use case, I was wondering what other applications drone could have.<p>I can easily imagine them being used for agriculture&#x2F;environment monitoring.

Although I don&#x27;t personally use them for this purpose, I would expect to see more assassination attempts via explosive consumer drones in the future.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;world-latin-america-45073385" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;world-latin-america-45073385</a>

I have two of them, a &quot;huge&quot; transport model that I use for quality video recording, and a very small one (that I&#x27;m pretty much still building) with a fast but low-qual. FPV camera, which I input the feed on my computer with a special receiver.
