• Drones are used for various purposes these days.
  Originally, drones were exclusively used by the
  military for various purposes mostly surveillance
  and warfare. While these UAVs are still used by
  the military, the civil use of drones is gaining
  popularity all over the world. There are various
  types, designs and styles of drones. The small
  quadcopter with the camera has particularly
  gained popularity with the hobbyists and other
  persons who do photography for fun.

• The various areas of applications in which
  quadcopter with camera is used include the
  following-
• Science and research
• Aerial video and photography
• Surveying and Geographical informatics systems
  (GIS)
• Search and rescue
• Security
• Inspections
• Surveillance

Science and research

• Small drones are used by scientists in their
  research work especially in observing various
  occurrences in the environment or nature high up
  from the sky drone are also used for various
  archaeological excavations and for measuring
  contamination in nuclear accidents. Small drones
  have also been used for observing volcanic
  eruptions and in glacier surveillance.

Aerial video and photography

• For a drone that will get high-quality photos and
  video, you need to ensure that it is fitted with
  HD camera. Note that not every cheap quadcopter
  with the camera you come across online or in your
  local store can offer HD videos. If you need
  crisp fine photos and videos then you may have to
  invest in the higher end drones.

Surveying and Geographical informatics systems
(GIS)

• The drones with laser scanners and multi-spectral
  farmers can be used for mapping. The HD cameras
  in them can be used to take 3-D maps of high
  quality. Thus, a drone for precision agriculture,
  photogrammetry, surveying and mapping and remote
  sensing must have a higher Definition camera
  which can serve that purpose.

7
Search and rescue

• Drones are now used by military and civilians for
  search and rescue operations firefighters use
  drones for determining the quantities of carbon
  monoxide and carbon dioxide in the air.

8
Security

• Various authorities use drones for the protection
  of people and property. They have proven to be
  quite useful in the management of security of the
  people in emergency situations. They can be used
  for surveillance and also for the collection and
  preservation of evidence.

9
Inspections

• Drones can be used for inspection and
  surveillance of pipelines, wind turbines and
  power lines.

10
Surveillance

• The drone can be used for the monitoring and
  recording from the sky. Thus, they can be used
  for monitoring protests, public events and other
  suspicious events. Police units and other
  security agencies drones for various surveillance
  purposes.

• In addition to these applications, small drones
  can also be used in education, meteorology,
  mining, utilities, insurance, marketing,
  maritime, aviation, construction works,
  engineering and many more. These days, many
  private companies and government agencies and
  various other institutions have private drones.

• Besides this serious work, a small quadcopter
  with the camera can be used for purpose of
  entertainment. Although in the past the use of
  drones was restricted, these days, civil use of
  drones is very legal and you can easily buy yours
  online. Better even, these gadgets are now
  available at affordable rates. Drones are
  generally easy to control once you learn how to
  pilot them. However, if you want to use them in
  certain areas or for some purposes (such as
  commercial photography), you may be required to
  obtain an RC pilot license.
