For the past few years I’ve been learning to fly airplanes. Simultaneously over same past several years there has been a revolution in powerful cameras mounted miniature remote controlled helicoptors (DRONES or DOVES) specifically in the area of aerial photography and videography. This Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology has become cheap, user-friendly and safe.

Drones are a definitely a trending topic. They are so new and combine so many cutting edge technologies that people react very strongly when the topic of these flying computers come up. Many people are intrigued and inspired by them and are drawn to the operator like curious little kids. Lots of those people ARE curious little kids. Others find them disturbing. They worry about their privacy and their safety and that makes a lot of sense.
