Commercial and recreational drones are a relatively new phenomenon. They was introduced in 2010 when French company Parrot lofted its AR Drone. Since then, the drone market has exploded. According to the Federal Aviation Administration1, the USA alone is home to over a million registered drones, of which a large number are for commercial purposes and an even larger number for recreational use.
There are many different types of drones for every level of experience, whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or a professional photographer.
Most drones are equipped with limited internal storage, which is a major drawback if you’re shooting 4K video or hoping to snap off a string of landscape photos during your flight. But don’t worry, because many of them offer a solution: a microSD slot.
