12 Top Drones With Cameras, GPS, Autopilot And Low Prices

Walkera Scout X4 With Drone GPS Autopilot and 4k Camera

The top drones with 4k cameras reviewed here also have excellent GPS and autopilot systems, giving you many options, when it comes to flying, aerial filming and photography.

Along with great cameras, GPS and autopilot, these drones with low prices have many safety features.

These top drones featured below all have 4k cameras and can be flown by pilot manually or on autopilot. A drone flying on autopilot has big advantages over manual flight.  With an autopilot programmed route, called waypoints, the drone can take aerial photos or video much better than any pilot can.

This is especially true in difficult weather conditions.  A drone flying in autopilot mode is monitoring and adjusting its position thousands of times per second.  Manual flying will never be able to achieve this flight accuracy.

For aerial photography, it is great to let the drone fly on autopilot on a given route, while you concentrate on working the camera capturing the best of video and stills.

Having a drone with a GPS autopilot flight system and a 4k camera is very  essential for aerial photogrammetry, 3D mapping and multispectral imaging in the agricultural sector.

Drones For Deliveries From Medicine To Post, Packages And Pizza

Drone Delivery Service - Is it the way forward

Drones for delivering parcels and all types of goods is receiving massive investment from some really big players all over the globe.

With large companies such as Amazon, Walmart, UPS, Google and other global postal companies investing in drone delivery projects, it is only a matter of time before their drone parcel delivery service goals become a reality?

Will the day come, when we look above and see thousands of drones busily zipping along to deliver mail, parcels, medicine, pizza and any other small to medium sized item?

It is probably only a matter of a few years before we have our skies full of drones delivering parcels.  There certainly are loads of technical challenges to overcome.  There are also widespread privacy concerns to overcome. Perhaps drones for delivering parcels will be limited to just far out hard to reach places.

Multispectral Remote Sensing Drones For Golf Course Vitality

Multispectral Remote Sensing Drones For Golf Courses

Data from multispectral remote sensing drones provide essential feedback on the health of a golf course. Multispectral sensor data can detect problems from pests, disease, invasive weeds and stress to greens, fairways, rough, shrubs and trees long before the naked eye will notice.

This article explains why multispectral drones often called Remote Sensing Platforms are fast becoming a very essential tool every golf course should invest in.

12 Top Lidar Sensors For UAVs, Best Lidar Drones And Great Uses

7 Top Lidar Sensors For Drones

Lidar sensors on UAVs capture imagery which only a few years ago needed an aircraft carrying large heavy lidar sensors and a crew to accomplish.

Here, we look at 12 of the best lidar sensors for drones along with the best lidar drones.

We feature lidar sensors from manufacturers such as Velodyne, Routescene, Leddartech, Riegl, YellowScan, Leica and Geodetics.

The lidar drones include quadcopters, fixed wing drones, UAV helicopters from manufacturers such as DJI, Harris, Velos, Vulcan, OnyxStar and many more.

A lidar sensor mounted on a UAV, along with the lidar software can process images very quickly in the cloud, allowing for effective decisions to be made by stakeholders and relevant parties.

The output from these lidar drones and sensors is outstanding.  The pace of development and improvement in the lidar sensors over the past few years has been tremendous and will continue with more entrants into this sector.

Over the coming years, we are going to see most of the lidar sensor work moving from aircraft to lidar drones.

In fact, all the manufacturers of the large lidar sensors for airplanes have developed smaller lidar sensors for drones.

We start off this post with the lidar drones being used for the various sensors, followed by how lidar sensor technology works. Then, we look at the best lidar sensors for drones.  Along the way, we have some terrific lidar drone sensor videos.

Stunning Mavic Mini Filming Over Bali, Hawaii, Thailand And Italy

Best DJI Mavic Mini Aerial Footage

Here are 6 top DJI Mavic Mini scenic aerial videos from around the globe, including stunning footage from Almsee Lake in Austria, Bali, Hawaii, Amsterdam, Italy and Thailand .

This Mavic Mini drone films with exceptional quality. The Mavic Mini flies super smooth, while capturing outstanding footage vividly.

This Mavic Mini drone was designed to have a very light takeoff weight coming in at 249 grams (8.78 ounces), which in many countries will exempt it from flight regulations. For example, in the United States and Canada, you can fly the Mavic Mini as a hobbyist, without the need to register this drone with the government.
