Drones are more than just futuristic gadgets that give photographers and videographers an edge. As shown by Lady Gaga in her epic Super Bowl performance, drones can be used as much more than a photography tool. Here are 6 reasons why you should invest in this versatile gadget.

Drone Art

Drone Art can be whatever you want it to be. For the Super Bowl, it was the background of Lady Gaga’s jaw-dropping performance. Drones assembled in the sky to not only create the American flag but also the Pepsi logo. If that isn’t art, I don’t know what is. But you can use drones for whatever you want to, however you want to. Let your creativity go wild with drone art!

Drone Racing 

Drone racing is a thing. Its a popular thing, so popular that an official Drone Racing League exists. The best pilots around the world compete to be crowned world champion. So if you have a competitive streak or if you’re looking for a new sport, why not try your luck at drone racing? 

Up Close With Animals

From whale watching to safari rides, drones give us the opportunity to get up close and personal with animals that are larger than life. Fly over an ocean and watch a humpback whale breach or get a closer look at a lion as it chases its prey in the wild. Observe animals from an intimate distance that only drones allow you access to. 

See Nature Like Never Before

Drones offer us an entirely new perspective of nature! Marvel at a breathtaking bird’s eye view of a snowy mountain or experience what Niagara Falls looks like from above. Wherever you decide to travel to, drones allow you the opportunity to see nature as you’ve never seen it before. 

Futuristic Edge

Let’s face it, drones are the future. These aerial vehicles are no longer just used in the military but are used in the world of consumerism too. Pretty soon, your Amazon or Domino’s order will be arriving via drone. So why not acquaint your self with the future now by investing in this popular gadget?

It’s Fun!

There’s no denying that flying a drone is fun. There’s something exhilarating about watching a small device take flight and float into the air, knowing that you’re controlling it. It’s even more exciting when a camera is involved and you get a glimpse of what it’s like to have eyes in the sky.
