10 Cool Things You Can Do With a Drone
Join a Drone Racing Circuit
As soon as humans invent a moving thing, we try to race it, and drones are no exception. Drone racing leagues have sprung up across the U.S., with the
Drone Racing League as the major professional outfit. Pilots with video goggles and catlike reflexes race high-speed, purpose-built drones through obstacle courses. Look for a local racing club near you — or, if you're feeling bold, the DRL holds periodic tryouts for a $75,000 contract!
Awesome Aerial Videography
Drones can get shots that are impossible from the ground. Imagine watching a fireworks display from 400 feet! Take pictures of your car or boat from unique angles. You can even
make an awesome drone time-lapse video.
Action Cam Drone!
Lots of drones can follow their operators around, so consider rigging your drone to watch you surf, kayak down a raging river, or race a bicycle through the mountains. If you're willing to build your own drone,
it could even take you snowboarding.
Drone Selfies
Use your drone's high-res camera to get the perfect profile pic, or to commemorate a special event with your friends. Getting the ideal angle is easy when you can move your camera anywhere. Weddings, anniversaries, bar mitzvahs – the possibilities are endless!

Look Over Your Property
Want to see if your roof is okay without breaking out a ladder? Want to check up on the tops of your trees? Need a 360-degree video for insurance? Your drone is the perfect tool for getting eyes on that hard-to-reach part of your property.
Join (or Start) a Drone Club
Flying a drone doesn't have to be a solo experience. There are thousands of model aircraft clubs across the U.S., and some even have their own airfields. Check out the
Academy of Model Aeronautics,
Meetup, or your local university. Get tech experience, new ideas, help with repairs, or just go out and have fun with new friends.
Make Maps or 3-D Models
Need an updated photo map of your property? Want a 3-D model of something big? Fly your drone around it, take a bunch of pictures from different angles, and whip up a map or model. You can use software like
Pix4D to create 3-D models from your photos, or
DroneDeploy to make maps.
Engage in Amphibious Operations
Water and drones don't normally mix, but
DroneRafts has created a set of lightweight pontoons that let your DJI Phantom 3 or 4 safely conduct amphibious and all-terrain operations. Even if you don't want to land on the water, the pontoons can give you peace of mind about hovering near it. If you don't operate near water, consider DroneRafts' (cheaper) TerraStrider legs that help drones operate in rough terrain.
Start Your Own Drone Business
Drones are being used in businesses like aerial surveying, crop management, commercial aerial videography, and small package delivery. You'll need to get a remote pilot airman certificate (the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association has a
checklist on how to get that), and you'll be able to operate under a more permissive set of rules. Once you're cleared to fly, the sky's the limit (sort of)!
