I've had several drones. Started with hobby built models a few years back. Last drone I purchased, DJI Mavic Pro. Really don't need to buy another.... The Mavic flys further than I ever need, travels and folds well, and has plenty of accessories available. The water proof hardcase for controller and extra batteries is a must for being on the road.
Anyways, the utility of these little devices is pretty incredible. Some of its uses are pretty obvious, but others you may discover later.
Because the Mavic streams video right to your cell phone, there isn't much hassle involved with the scouting process. Unpack and unfold the drone, boot up the controller and cellphone. Send the launch command, and the drone practically flies itself and sends its video image back to your phone instantly.
Other than just general photography, the drone serves as a pretty handy scouting tool. Most of my scouting is for fishing and hunting. I can launch the drone when showing up to a new area to get a birds eye view of the land. They also make a pretty good conversation piece, and it has been a great ice breaker for neighbors at RV parks.
Anyways, pretty handy. And if your traveling to sight-see, a drone gives you a completely new angle for sights that most will miss.
First picture is a river I've parked by to scout. No visibility of the river at all because of tall brush and bank.
Second picture.... much better.
Pit stops can be frequent.
Some pictures you just cant get from the ground.
