Drones are modern technology that can be used for various purposes, from delivering packages to performing search and rescue operations. In this article, we will focus specifically on the use of drones for surveillance, photography and videography as well as their use in building and roof inspections.
Drones have become increasingly popular for surveillance and photography in recent years, as they offer a unique perspective that can be difficult to obtain from the ground. Drones can be equipped with high-quality cameras and can be flown into areas that are otherwise inaccessible, making them ideal for capturing images and footage of events as well as tasks like building and roof inspections.
Surveillance
Drones are the perfect, modern choice for surveillance as they can be equipped with a variety of cameras and other sensors to gather data from many different angles simultaneously, for solutions such as traffic management, land surveying, search and rescue, and more. For these reasons, drones are becoming increasingly popular for both commercial and government use.
Some drones can also fly for long periods of time, and have incredible range and battery life, meaning they can cover large areas quickly and thoroughly.
Photography and Videography
As drones have developed and advanced over time, as have the quality of cameras that can be attached to drones, resulting in a large rise in drone use for photography and videography for a wide variety of sectors.
Drone photography and videography have become incredibly popular in recent years, as the technology has advanced to a point where it is now possible to get stunning aerial footage that was once only possible with expensive helicopters or aeroplanes.
The benefits of drone photography and videography are many, including the ability to capture footage in inaccessible or dangerous areas, as well as the ability to get shots that would be impossible with traditional methods. Not only this, but drones are much cheaper (and logistically simpler) than needing to hire camera cranes, or fly helicopters containing a camera crew.
Promotional Media
Promotional media is a broad term that covers any kind of marketing or advertising that uses video or photography, and drones have become a popular tool for capturing this type of content
Drones can be used to capture both photos and videos of events, products, or landscapes from a variety of different angles and perspectives, offering a unique and eye-catching way to promote whatever it is you are trying to sell.
Property & Construction
At XES Drones, we have years of experience working with estate agents to present properties in a new way that promotes properties from a different perspective to attract buyers.
Aerial perspectives of properties stand out to potential buyers when promoting a beautiful property, often providing cinematography angles that are often only seen in Hollywood movies and television.
Events
The use of drones at social and commercial events is also becoming one of the most highly requested within the aerial world. From weddings and christenings to live stage performances, a new perspective is now possible for anyone to capture and re-live their favourite moments
Not only are drones a great way to capture large crowds and fun events, but they’re a great way to show any prospective client around the land for their ideas to show them an aerial view to better visualise their plans. As always, the safety of the public is always our priority which is why we strictly follow CAA safety guidance to keep everyone safe.
Building & Roof Inspections
The construction sector is a large industry that has been changed dramatically by the use of drones, as they are now being used for tasks such as building and roof inspections.
In the past, these kinds of inspections would require scaffolding or cherry pickers to be brought in, which was both time-consuming and expensive. Now, with drones, these inspections can be carried out quickly, easily, and cheaply, without the need for any advanced machinery.
Conclusion
Drones are becoming more and more popular for a variety of reasons, including their versatility in being able to be used for a range of different tasks. In this article, we have looked at some of the most common uses for drones in commercial and government settings, as well as some of the benefits that come with using drones for photography, videography, promotional media, and building & roof inspections.
