Quadcopter photography is used in many different scenarios. It is used for military and police surveillance. Firefighters employ it in situations that would be hazardous to manned aircraft. The use is also growing in the civilian commercial and private sectors.
Cameras may be mounted on the aircrafts and some quadcopters include equipment built in that can shoot photos and videos in high definition.
Photographers are realizing that using a quadcopter for aerial photography opens up a whole sphere of new possibilities for both commercial and personal uses. Quadcopters, a type of unmanned aerial vehicle, are maneuverable enough to allow for photos and videos that have been impossible before.
