Some positives about using a drone to capture yet another view of a property might have some benefits, but have you thought about the problems as well? I think it would be really neat to get a good view from the air of a property, especially a luxury property, or one with some land with it. One way people have used to do this has been to pay someone who has a small plane to fly over and take pictures. One way is to rent a boom truck to have at least a higher view of the home. Both are not very cost effective. Now you might want to buy a drone in order to fly over it and get a photo, or possibly a video of the property. As of today drones have only been approved for recreational purposes, so doing this is not currently legal.
Looking at the drawbacks to using a drone is first....and it is huge, that we legally can't do this to help sell a property. The FAA has to consider several things before they decide to allow this to happen in commercial venues. If they allowed it....should they also allow companies to use drones as a method of faster delivery of packages? Can you imagine having a package delivered to your home or business? Will it be left outside if it is being left at a business? Will people watch for where the next drone is dropping something to be able to pick it up and keep it for themselves, or resale what you have paid for? How safe will it be to fly to your vacation spot if they have to watch out for drones flying in the sky? If a bird can cause major damage to a plane, what would a drone do?
I found the following article interesting.....and that's what started me to think regarding this new technology. http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2015/01/26/crash-near-white-house-a-blow-to-drone-lobbyists/
