Ask HN: What are you using drones for?

1 points by msangi 7y ago ↗ HN

I've seen a few people buying drones and using them for photography.

While that's a perfectly fine use case, I was wondering what other applications drone could have.

I can easily imagine them being used for agriculture/environment monitoring.

Although I don't personally use them for this purpose, I would expect to see more assassination attempts via explosive consumer drones in the future.

I have two of them, a "huge" transport model that I use for quality video recording, and a very small one (that I'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.
