Drones: use, safety and regulation

Drones are remotely controlled unmanned flying vehicles that can also be used for specific jobs in addition to being able to fly. Whether they are larger or mini drones, some criteria below will help you know what is best for you.

• Ease of use (How easy is it to fly?)
• Size (the best overall drone is not the best mini drone, and the best mini drone is not the best micro drone – these things can get really small)
• Battery duration
• Safety (some drones have soft outer parts to avoid, for example, a broken TV screen)
• Camera (some drones come with cameras, and the cameras can be attached to most of the ones that don’t)
• Value for money (we expect performance to increase along with price)
• Features (this may be the least important criterion, because one would prefer a really solid mini drone with minor features to one that can’t fly well but has a lot of additional functions)
• Other differences between drones understood of the flight range; 25 minutes on a battery charge for the Parrot and up to 40 minutes for the DJI Phantom. The DJI Phantom is also a bit heavier and some reports say it provides better stability in windy conditions, but both drones are reasonably stable for that. Replacement parts are readily available to purchase on Amazon for both models.

Drones have been gaining popularity and more and more commercial applications have been developed for them. The two main competitors are Parrot, which has now released version 2.0 of its AR Drone for hobbyists, and DJI Phantom, which launches PRO versions of drones.

Are you intrigued by being able to fly it around your city and take pictures from perspectives and angles that you couldn’t access before?

The good news is that HD video cameras have gotten cheaper and cheaper nowadays and both the Parrot AR Drone and DJI Phantom have them.

Upgraded versions come with GPS capability and a built-in ‘homecoming’ feature.

1. They can be your Wi-Fi hotspot that connects to your smartphone or tablet and this allows you to stream HD video directly to your device.
2. You can also control the drone by tilting your phone forward, backward, left, or right, just like you would in a flying game. The basic technology of a drone consists of some type of power plant, some propulsion mechanism, some type of steering mechanism, some type of sensors to recognize the place and the route and a transmitter-receiver unit to transmit and receive signals to the direction and recording.
3. Drones are found in all the shapes that you can find on larger airplanes, and also in all kinds of exotic shapes, such as oblong aircrafts, discs, triangles, donuts, stars, or they can look like large insects or birds.

Safety regulations

Since most uses of drones are kept secret or simply not publicly announced, it is difficult to give a full description of the scope of their use and who is using them, but a fairly clear picture emerges based on official sources, articles journalistic and scientific. commercials from drone producers and stories of people coming into contact with drones in use.

Since larger drones are comparable to other aerial vehicles, they are required to maintain flashlights and other means to warn against the possibility of collision, but since government bodies operating drones generally want to keep the flight secret, such flashlights are possibly they will light only when other traffic is in the neighborhood, or when operators want eye contact.
