Cituji z úvodu:"SolarDrone, established from the laboratory of National Taiwan University, teamed up with experts in photovoltaic and UAV technologies to tackle the enduring problem of drone flight time. The product will be showcased at CES2018 Eureka Startup Marketplace (booth#52105), where some of the newest technology trends are featured.
SolarDrone’s solar-powered quadcopters have been re-designed, re-engineered, and reprogrammed to be able to extend its flight time from less than 30mins to hours. In order to achieve this feat, the team focused on developing a lightweight form factor and sufficient power harvested from the solar panels. SolarDrone’s flight time extension not only increases pleasure for recreational drone usage, but also opens up possible new applications in agricultural, security, rescue, and exploration......".

1. Drone-Aréna v Japonsku
Text informující o první dron-aréně v Japonsku byl publikován 18.12.2017 na portálu "dronblog.cz" a to na adrese:
https://dronblog.cz/dron-arena-v-japonsku/
Cituji z úvodní části článku:
"....V poslední době proniká využívání dronů i do profesionální oblasti. S pomocí dronů jsou natáčena unikátní videa či dokumenty a z akrobatického létání se pomalu, ale jistě stává sport. Důkazem toho jsou mimo jiné vzrůstající počty „dronistů“ registrovaných po celém světě či nárůst různých vyhlášek a zákonů, které země napříč kontinenty přijímají, aby zajistily bezpečný „let“. A důkazem vzrůstající obliby a profesionality létání s drony může být také nově otevřená dron aréna v Japonsku."
Nadpisy vybraných odstavců článku:
- Kdy začala dron aréna fungovat?
- Na co je komu aréna pro drony?
"Dron aréna byla vybudována s cílem společnosti DJI zvýšit oblibu dronů. Její představitelé jsou přesvědčeni, že právě drony znamenají budoucnost a jejich využití je daleko širší, než jak jsme doposud zvyklí. I proto se rozhodli postavit tyto arény, aby si zde lidé, kteří s drony zatím nemají žádné či jen velmi malé zkušenosti, tato bezpilotní letadla vyzkoušeli. Chtějí, aby i prostřednictvím jejich arén lidé zažili to neskutečné vzrušení při ovládání dronu a také aby zjistili, co všechno je s tímto zařízením možné. Cílí rovněž na profesionály z oborů, kterým mohou drony nabídnout neuvěřitelné možnosti......".

Flyability Elios: Dron, který si libuje uvnitř budovy
Flyability Elios, model dronu, který je určen pro létání v interiéru.
Autor: Jan Dolejš vystavil 10.10.2016 článek, který najdete na portálu "droni.cz", na adrese:
https://www.droni.cz/flyability-elios-dron/
Cituji z úvodní části textu:
"Dron se díky svému pohybu ve vzduchu dostane do míst, kam lidská noha nevkročí, v uzavřených prostorách je ale běžný dron ztracen. Dnes se ovšem podíváme na model Flyability Elios, který je naopak určen pro létání v interiéru.
Flyability Elios: Dron, který si libuje uvnitř budovy
Běžné drony jsou určeny pro let ve volném prostoru a nejlépe za ideálních větrných podmínek. Co ale dělat, pokud se potřebujete dostat do nepřístupných míst uvnitř budovy? Na řadu přichází dron Flyability Elios, kterému pohyb uvnitř budov nevadí díky ochranné kleci.
Součástí výbavy je nejen standardní digitální kamera, ale i infrakamera od společnosti Flir. Díky tomu dokáže dron monitorovat i případné úniky tepla či tepelné zdroje ve tmě či za snížené viditelnosti. Potěší, že švýcarský výrobce vybavil drona technologií DJI Lightbridge pro ovládání a přenos obrazu. Díky tomu lze drona ovládat aplikací DJI Go a obraz přenášet do mobilního zařízení........".
Závěr:Flyability Elios představuje nesmírně zajímavého drona, který si na rozdíl od většiny rozumí s interiéry. Jeho cena se ovšem pohybuje okolo astronomické částky 750 tisíc korun, což jej zcela vylučuje domácímu použití. Naopak – Flyability Elios najde své uplatnění především v průmyslu a u záchranných složek (policie, hasiči), kde dokáže prozkoumávat špatně dostupná místa a použití jeřábů, plošin či helikoptér by ve výsledku bylo nákladnější.

Cituji úvod a 8 předpovědí:
"Photo courtesy of Airobotics When it comes to the future of the drone industry, the only real consensus around what’s going to happen is that there is no consensus around what’s going to happen.
- Firms from across the world continue to churn out forecasts that predict a bright future for UAVs in commercial applications of all types, but when and how we’ll arrive at that future is much less agreed upon.
- Despite the uncertainty, it’s a worthwhile endeavor to take a look at the landscape as a whole and try to figure out when certain developments are going to take place. Our predictions around what 2017 would bring when it came to disputes with regulatory authority, a new focus on insurance and a slew of industry shake-outs were more accurate than not.
- There are arguments to be made on both sides around whether or not we truly saw the emergence of a worldwide drone market as well as a shift for organizations moving from “exploring” to “implementing” drone technology. - Unfortunately, there was not tremendous progress when it came to changes in the public’s reaction to the technology and major considerations around what it means to scale a program."
Regardless of how true or not any of those predictions were, we can safely say we’ll see further developments for all of those topics in 2018.
8 Commercial Drone Predictions for 2018
1) We’ll See Significant Growth in the Overall Drone Economy Which Will be Highlighted by an Expansion of LAANC in the United States and a Powerful Combination of Services, Regulation and Business Models
Across the World
2) Data Will Drive Growth in Various Markets, but the Lessons and Opportunities in the Survey Space Will be Especially Significant
3) Data Will be Used in the Inspection Space to to Prioritize and Predict Maintenance Activities at a Much Lower Operational Expense
4) More Companies Will Pay More Attention to Data Security
5) Get Ready for HALE
6) We’ll See a Breakthrough in Automation
7) A Number of UTM Initiatives Will be Launched and Become Operational in 2018
8) The Role of Counter Drone Technology Will Become Increasingly Important."

"If there’s one thing I’ve come to realize after being involved with the commercial UAV space, it’s that a lot of people have a lot of questions. Those questions can be about anything from how to choose a particular solution to what approach needs to be taken around quantifying an ROI, but they can also get very specific.
What does it mean to legally operate a drone in a given region? Does a particular company have a solution that is specifically designed for the application you have in mind? How can an operator effectively turn raw data into actionable information? This directory is designed to showcase the manufactures and organizations that can help provide you with answers and solutions that will allow you to effectively utilize drone technology. Whether your questions are centered on the industry you’re working in, or on a product or service, this guide focuses on the companies you’re able to connect with in-person at the Commercial UAV Expo to help you get a better understanding of the answers they’ll be able to provide for you."

Drone-Catching Eagles are being retired by Dutch Police
Adresa plného znění článku:
https://www.dronethusiast.com/drone-catching-eagles-retired-dutch-police/
Cituji z úvodu:
"Although they sound like something straight out of a Hollywood film, drone-catching eagles are actually something that has been used by the Dutch police. Many may wonder why something like this was needed, and even how these birds were taught to do their job. Police in the Netherlands began the training of these birds in 2016, but have now determined that they aren’t quite working out the way they anticipated.
In early 2016, Netherland police decided to train eagles to catch drones. The thought behind this was that the eagle’s sharp talons would be no match for a drone and they would be able to quickly pluck them from the sky. What actually happened, was the birds were distracted during training and not up to par with what was needed in the field.
The use of the birds was going to protect various air spaces from drones. Places such as airports and other secure areas where drones were not supposed to fly would be monitored, and if needed, an eagle would be sent to retrieve any drones that violated air laws. Since the eagles didn’t always do as they were expected to, it made it hard on the cops to safely send the birds into these restricted areas. Many animal lovers also feared that the eagles would be injured by the fast-moving blades if they were only slightly off aim on their target drone."

The 2018 drone journalism forecast
The 2018 drone journalism forecast | Poynter
BY AL TOMPKINS · DECEMBER 27, 2017
Článek najdete na portálu "pointer.org", na adrese:
https://www.poynter.org/news/2018-drone-journalism-forecast
Cituji úvod textu, seznam dotazovaných žurnalistů a přehled otázek:
"One year ago, I hoped to be able to say to you now that drone journalism took off in 2017. This year, Poynter — along with the National Press Photographers Association, The Drone Journalism Lab at the University of Nebraska and DJI — taught nearly 400 journalists how to legally and safely fly. But the never-ending flow of local and state restrictions and the slow response of the FAA to airspace waiver requests keep drones from being the daily tool they can be. There is reason to believe 2018 will give those of us who are licensed drone pilots more freedom to fly.
In July, the FAA announced that in 2018, it will be rolling out a new "instant waiver" program that should allow you to get an airspace waiver in minutes. The system is called the LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) program. ..... And the FAA produced a map that makes it easier to see what kinds of restrictions you will encounter where you want to fly.
This year, drones also gave journalists the ability to document the floods and destruction from hurricanes and the devastation that California wildfires left behind.
I asked some of the people who I taught with this year to give us a glimpse of where drone journalism stands and where we are heading. Our gurus include:
- Matt Waite, University of Nebraska Drone Journalism Lab
- Mickey Osterreicher, general counsel, National Press Photographers Association
- Sally French, known as "The Drone Girl" at thedronegirl.com
Otázky: ( po každé otázce následující odpovědi všech tří osobností )
- How would you assess 2017 for drone journalists? We hoped the year would be the breakthrough year with the Part 107 licenses being issued. Did it live up to the expectations?
Watch Mickey Osterreicher describe drone privacy issues
- What will be the single biggest development for drone journalists in 2018?
- What concerns you most about the drone landscape ahead?
Watch Sally French describe the testing process for drone licensing
Watch Matt Waite describe who needs to get certified to fly
- Point us to a remarkable piece of drone photography that you saw in 2017.
A quick survey
The Center for Journalism Ethics at the University of Wisconsin along with the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) is interested in your thoughts about drone journalism. Both UW and NPPA were partners with Poynter in our 2017 drone journalism workshops. We are asking you to take a short survey to better understand your attitudes and beliefs about the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAS) for news-gathering and reporting.We estimate the survey will take about 14 minutes to complete."

Trump Signs Bill Reinstating Registration For Hobbyist Drones
Trump Signs Bill Reinstating Registration For Hobbyist Drones : Foster Folly News, Chipley, Florida
Na adrese:
http://fosterfollynews.com/2017/12/22/trump-signs-bill-reinstating-registration-for-hobbyist-drones/
najdete úvahu Patricka C. Millera, UAS Magazine, týkající se rozhodnutí prezidenta Trumpa, týkající se registrace dronů.
Cituji podstatnou část:
"Trump signed the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act, which applies primarily to defense funding, but also includes a measure reinstating the requirement for hobbyists to register drones with the FAA. Last May, a federal judge ruled that the agency had exceeded its authority regulate hobbyist and recreational drones, a category Congress had specifically excluded.
The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA)—the world’s largest model aviation association with 195,000 members, believes “registration makes sense at some level.” However, the organization continues to advocate “for a more reasonable threshold........”
The Property Drone Consortium (PDC), which represents a collaboration of insurance carriers, construction industry leaders and supporting enterprises, applauded Trump’s signing of the legislation reinstating the registration requirement."

Cituji z průvodního textu:
"Heo said he evaluates the need of a drone using the questions: “Does it add news value? Does it actually give us a new perspective? Are there angles or cinematic effects that you cannot get with a normal camera?”
As a journalist, he is always investigating to tell stories and said you must thoroughly plan shots because “if you are telling a story, it still has to make sense.”
One of the most controversial technology issues in recent memory, camera drones have been hotly contested for their potential to interfere with citizens’ privacy.
For anyone who has flown or seen a drone in action, this is evidently impossible as the devices are often prohibitively loud for these uses.
However, these tools can be used for major advances in journalism and cinematography when used appropriately.
The caveat to those statements is when the tech is used properly. The Federal Aviation Administration is the agency in charge of controlling U.S. airspace for both manned and unmanned aircraft. Their duty lies with keeping aerial traffic organized and the skies safe."

"US military forces could one day send 3D printers to the battlefront along with its soldiers. The US Army on Monday shared a look at a custom-printed, on-demand aerial drone program that would let the Army and Marines create flying machines built for specific missions."
"Imagine needing to check a potential hot spot for threats. You want something small, quiet and able to carry a camera. So you open an app on a tablet, choose your drone specifications and send it off to be made by a 3D printer at your base camp. You get your finished drone within hours."
"An Army statement describes this sort of drone as a "3D-printed aviation asset." Army researchers have already tested prototype 3D-printed drones and are looking to further develop and expand the program. The experimental drones are modular and can be assembled quickly."

Úpravy fotografií - Photomatix Pro 6
Drony a fotografie patří neodmyslitelně k sobě. Téma úpravy fotografií, je proto předmětem pozornosti většiny pilotů dronů. Existují různé způsoby zpracování fotografií pořízených z kamery dronu. Mezi umělecky nejpřitažlivější patří zpracování t. zv. HDR fotografií.
Pro uživatele, kteří nejsou obeznámeni s HDR, doporučuji k prostudování velmi pěkný a užitečný článek Josefa Krause, publikovaný na portálu "živě.cz". Text byl pořízen v roce 2011, což znamená, že nemohl postihnout nejnovější verzi, nicméně jeho obsah je převážně stále aktuální. Článek nese název: "Photomatix: Specialista na HDR fotografie".
Najdete ho na adrese:

Photomatix zatím nebyl lokaizován do češtiny, takže pečlivě připravená dokumentace je k dispozici v hlavních světových jazycích, především v angličtině.
Program Photomatix je na webu nabízen na adrese:

Každopádně doporučuji věnovat pozornost uživatelské příručce, kterou najdete pod názvem "Photomatix Pro 6 - User Manual" na adrese:
https://www.hdrsoft.com/support/doc/PhotomatixPro6.0_UserManual_Win.pdf

Verze Photomatix Pro 6 je zatím nejnovější. Co nová verze obsahuje, se dozvíte z následujících řádků, převzatých z originálu, tedy v angličtině.
Nejdříve charakteristika programu:
Introduction
"Photomatix Pro works with photographs of the same scene taken under different exposure settings. These differently exposed images of the same scene are often called “bracketed” images in reference to the autobracketing exposure functions available on many camera models.
Taking Photos for HDR
The shooting phase is essential for getting good results with Photomatix Pro. To photograph a high contrast scene, you need to take several exposures in order to capture information in both the highlights and the shadows of the scene. The exposures taken must properly cover the dynamic range of the scene, especially the shadows.
The number of photos you need depends on the scene. It also depends on the Exposure Value (EV) spacing separating the photos. If you take them in one-EV steps (e.g., -1, 0, +1 EV), you will need more photos than if you take them in two-EV steps (e.g., -2, 0, +2 EV).
We recommend shooting in two-EV steps whenever possible.
High contrast scenes can be grouped into roughly two types depending on their dynamic range.
The source photographs for HDR processing can be taken with digital or film-based cameras. The only requirement is that the exposure can be adjusted when taking pictures. If you use a film-based camera, you will need to scan the photographs into your computer before processing them."
A nyní co nového nejnovější šestá verze přináší:
New in Photomatix Pro 6
- More style choices for realistic results
A new HDR rendering method called Tone Balancer gives you more options for achieving a realistic look. It is well-suited to real estate and natural style landscapes.
- Refine your image with more control over color
With the new interactive brush tool, you can make color changes to just parts of the image by painting over those areas. You can also remove color casts, enhance skies, and adjust other image features by fine-tuning the saturation, hue, and brightness of individual colors.
- Avoid overdoing it
If you want a more realistic look, you can blend your original photo with the HDR rendered image. You can also use a brush to blend specific areas with the original photo, or one of the other photos from a bracketed set.
- Remove distortion from your photos
If the horizon isn't straight or vertical objects like buildings aren't vertical, you can quickly straighten your photo and fix perspective issues where lines don't look parallel when they should. These are particularly helpful features for architectural and landscape photographers.
- A more intuitive workflow
Whether you are working with a single image, or a bracketed set of photos, a more intuitive workflow makes it easier to load and choose images and proceed through to editing.

Verze Photomatix Pro 6 je zatím nejnovější. Co nová verze obsahuje, se dozvíte z následujících řádků, převzatých z originálu, tedy v angličtině.
Nejdříve charakteristika programu:
Introduction
"Photomatix Pro works with photographs of the same scene taken under different exposure settings. These differently exposed images of the same scene are often called “bracketed” images in reference to the autobracketing exposure functions available on many camera models.
Taking Photos for HDR
The shooting phase is essential for getting good results with Photomatix Pro. To photograph a high contrast scene, you need to take several exposures in order to capture information in both the highlights and the shadows of the scene. The exposures taken must properly cover the dynamic range of the scene, especially the shadows.
The number of photos you need depends on the scene. It also depends on the Exposure Value (EV) spacing separating the photos. If you take them in one-EV steps (e.g., -1, 0, +1 EV), you will need more photos than if you take them in two-EV steps (e.g., -2, 0, +2 EV).
We recommend shooting in two-EV steps whenever possible.
High contrast scenes can be grouped into roughly two types depending on their dynamic range.
The source photographs for HDR processing can be taken with digital or film-based cameras. The only requirement is that the exposure can be adjusted when taking pictures. If you use a film-based camera, you will need to scan the photographs into your computer before processing them."
A nyní co nového nejnovější šestá verze přináší:
New in Photomatix Pro 6
- More style choices for realistic results
A new HDR rendering method called Tone Balancer gives you more options for achieving a realistic look. It is well-suited to real estate and natural style landscapes.
- Refine your image with more control over color
With the new interactive brush tool, you can make color changes to just parts of the image by painting over those areas. You can also remove color casts, enhance skies, and adjust other image features by fine-tuning the saturation, hue, and brightness of individual colors.
- Avoid overdoing it
If you want a more realistic look, you can blend your original photo with the HDR rendered image. You can also use a brush to blend specific areas with the original photo, or one of the other photos from a bracketed set.
- Remove distortion from your photos
If the horizon isn't straight or vertical objects like buildings aren't vertical, you can quickly straighten your photo and fix perspective issues where lines don't look parallel when they should. These are particularly helpful features for architectural and landscape photographers.
- A more intuitive workflow
Whether you are working with a single image, or a bracketed set of photos, a more intuitive workflow makes it easier to load and choose images and proceed through to editing.

"Some twelve months ago there was a far greater concern from the general public regarding the risk to both safety and privacy that UAVs could potentially introduce, but a corner has been turned, and it has become much more expected that drones will be used in a number of different ways."
"There is a more balanced perception of drones now, which previously was subject to a lot of negative coverage due to irresponsible use by untrained operators that did not understand the regulations surrounding the use of these systems."
"There is also a noticeable momentum from larger enterprises that are seeing the benefit of using drones to bolster their varying businesses, although there is still some work to be done in promoting the safety of such systems, particularly in large enterprises that are risk-averse with regards to compromising their commercial interests."

"The most advanced drones use GPS sensors for Smart navigation functions such as keeping its position at a fixed altitude and position, “Go Home” maneuvers enabling the drone to go back to the takeoff location, autonomous flights which are possible due to a route prepared in advance and made of referenced points by GPS locations… All these smart functions can be optimized through the use of a dual GPS sensor in our drone."
"Drones that use a dual GPS sensor are more reliable, since they have redundancy when there is a failure of signal loss in one of the GPS modules. "
"Drones with dual GPS sensor can be used in situations with electromagnetic interferences, such as powerlines inspections, monitoring mining works in iron mines or other environments with strong electromagnetic fields."
Cituji závěr článku:
"It is remarkable that Veronte Autopilot embeds redundancy for its IMU, therefore it has two independent instruments for navigation, providing higher reliability and performance. The main advantage of having the said redundancy is that data coming from two different IMUs within the same system permit Veronte Autopilot to include extended corrections for positioning and orientation, which improves the position estimation of the dual GPS sensor.:

"...DroneGun však ze své hlavně kulku vystřelit nedokáže. Jeho specialita tkví ve schopnosti vyslat směrem k letícímu dronu rádiové vlny, díky kterým dokáže majitel pušky převzít řízení nad dronem a okamžitě s ním přistát na požadovaném místě. ..."
"Na závěr je dobré dodat, že DroneGun není první “zbraní” tohoto typu. Konkurenční DroneDefender je momentálně testován americkou armádou. Jeho nedostatkem je ovšem vzdálenost, na kterou dokáže dron ovládat, ta činí pouhých 400 metrů, zatímco nový DroneGun dokáže převzít řízení nad strojem vzdáleným až 2 kilometry!"

In this video, he gives an overview of the commercial applications of drones and explains how advances in AI are impacting the drone industry."
"What are some of the most surprising business applications of drones that you have seen?
Jesse Clayton: Before we talk about the applications, it's important to understand some of the big trends that are happening in technology right now. Modern artificial intelligence -- and, specifically, deep learning -- is making it possible to solve problems that were practically unsolvable before. There are three big things that have happened to make this possible: The first is big data, the second is new algorithms, and the third is GPUs from Nvidia. Artificial intelligence is so powerful that it's impacting almost every industry...."

"JERUSALEM – The Israeli military says it has shot down an unmanned aircraft that attempted to infiltrate Israeli airspace from neighboring Syria."
"In September, Israel also shot down an Iranian-made drone sent by the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in the same area. Both Iranian and Hezbollah forces have been backing Syrian President Bashar Assad in the Syrian civil war.
Israel has warned that it will not accept a permanent presence of Iran or its allied militias near its border in postwar Syria."

"Amazon has been granted a patent on self-destructing drones. Or, if you want to use the more technical term, "directed fragmentation of an unmanned aerial vehicle."
"Spotted by The Verge, the patent describes what could happen if an Amazon package drone were to fail mid-delivery. Drones can fail for any number of reasons: battery failure, hitting a bird, or even getting shot down. If Amazon drone delivery wants to get off the ground, its drones will need plenty of fail-safes to win the several levels of governmental approval, from federal to city."
"When loss of flight operation is detected, the UAV can enter a fragmentation sequence mode," the patent, invented by Amazon employees Dushyant Goyal and Pragyana K. Mishra, reads. "During the fragmentation sequence, one or more parts or components of the UAV can be released. In doing so, the weight, speed, air drag coefficient, and other factors related to the UAV can be altered. At the same time, the momentum and trajectory of the UAV are also altered."

"Tým Multi-robotických systémů Fakulty elektrotechnické ČVUT v Praze, vedený Dr. Martinem Saskou, se v posledních měsících zaměřil na snímání interiérů historických objektů pomocí dronů."
"Skupina Martina Sasky v loňském roce pomocí formace dronů úspěšně zdokumentovala kostel sv. Mikuláše na Staroměstském náměstí v Praze. Právě na tuto aktivitu navázala při mapování dalších památek.
Tým Dr. Martina Sasky používá pro snímání vysoko položených míst, jako jsou například kopule kostelů, unikátní techniku, založenou na vzájemné stabilizaci formace autonomních helikoptér, kde jedna z helikoptér nese kameru a ostatní helikoptéry nesou zdroj světla osvětlující scénu v předem určeném úhlu."
"Unikátnost nasazené technologie bezpilotních helikoptér spočívala v možnosti létat i ve velmi úzkých vysokých prostorách objektu."

"A Chinese startup has developed a flying car that it plans to roll out as soon as next year."
"EHang Inc.’s E-184 drone can carry one passenger in its small cockpit, but the firm says it’s working on a model that can carry two. EHang’s Chief Executive Officer Hu Huazhi says they’ll be in operation as “taxi drones” in Dubai in 2018 — as long as they get approval from regulators there."
"It’s currently being tested at EHang’s headquarters: a disused theme-park on the outskirts of Guangzhou, southern China, a city that’s at the vanguard of the country’s push to move away from cheap, low-end manufacturing and toward cutting-edge technology."
“We will start mass production of our passenger drones at the beginning of next year,” Hu told Bloomberg TV. “We also plan to install fully automated production lines to enlarge manufacturing capacity in 2018.”
"EHang has big ambitions — it wants to develop a network of taxi drones around the world. The company plans to sign deals in Saudi Arabia, Singapore and “several European cites” next year, the CEO said."

• By connecting your smartphone to your handheld remote control unit, you can see on-screen exactly what the drone is viewing. This makes for perfect compositional adjustments.
• Camera controls are extensive – auto or full manual control, RAW capture, even time-lapse
• The drone will hover in the one spot with incredible stability, almost like an aerial tripod! You can take your hands off the controls and the drone will stay in that position.
• Failsafe flight options. With an average 20 minutes flight time per battery charge, the drone can detect when your battery is getting low and will go into RTH mode (automatic return-to-home), ensuring the drone comes back to you! If for some reason the lightbridge connection between the remote control and the machine itself is lost (this can happen when flying behind buildings or trees), once again RTH is activated. Another great use for the RTH feature is when you have lost sight of the drone, which is quite easy to do once it gets some distance away from you, by pressing the RTH button your flying camera will happily return to you before you know it.
Aerial Photography
"When you first start flying, it’s very exciting to get home, load your images, and marvel at the amazing scenes you have captured. In my first few weeks of flying, everything I took was thrilling. However, I quickly realized that aerial photography is no different to other forms of photography – it’s still all about the light! So rather than just heading out randomly, I once again started to chase the light and conditions, which has always been the strength of my landscape photography."
