Unlike common aerial photography uses, commercial drones are targeted at specific industry needs that require them to adapt to complex work environments and perform aerial operations. A bird's eye view allows people to plant their eyes in the air for surveillance, inspection, search and rescue, patrol, mapping, or other industry purposes.

Flight technology makes drone shows, supplies relief, high-altitude firefighting and more a reality, greatly saving manpower and reducing risk. The features of commercial drones vary widely, with most customized to specific needs and a few off-the-shelf, so go into the selection with a clear requirement. This article will give a brief overview of commercial drones and commercial drone uses.

Commercial drones are usually equipped with high-resolution cameras, sensors and other technologies for a wide range of commercial purposes and are widely used in various industries. Drone pilots need to obtain a drone flight license when using professional drones for commercial activities.

Commercial drone photography

Commercial drones are widely used in the aerial photography and photography industry, and can provide unique visual effects from a high-altitude perspective. Commercial drones with high-definition cameras can be fully used for real estate drone photography, drone wedding photography, tourism promotion, sports events drone photography, etc., to help customers show panoramic images and videos of target objects, such as Autel EVO II Pro V3.

Public safety

Police departments are also deploying specialized drones. Commercial drones play an important role in public safety. They can monitor the scene of the incident in real time, provide a real-time perspective from the air, and support the emergency response and situation assessment of the police and fire departments.

Search and rescue

Commercial drones are equipped with thermal imaging and infrared cameras to find missing persons or victims in field search and rescue operations. Even in the dark, thermal imaging commercial drones can observe heat changes, effectively improve search efficiency and reduce risks.

Firefighting

In forest and wildland fires, advanced autonomous commercial drones can respond quickly, monitor fire conditions and smoke spread, and provide real-time information to support fire fighting and emergency evacuation decisions.

Drone mapping

Drones can be equipped with RTK modules, LiDAR (laser radar) and multispectral cameras to quickly obtain large-scale geographic data, and convert image data into 2D/3D model maps through drone mapping software for use in urban planning, agricultural management, environmental monitoring and other fields.
