It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a little bit of both?

Meet the drone. No, we’re not referring to the freeloader sleeping on your couch all day. Rather, we’re talking about the remote-controlled aircraft that soared to new heights of popularity (pun intended).

While new to the consumer market, the drone is hardly new tech. In fact, it has been used by the US military for years now. But, that’s not what’s important. The most important thing is that you can now get your hands on one.

If you’re still on the fence on whether you should add a drone to your already growing list of things you want, then here are 5 reasons to help you say yes…

#1 You can take awesome aerial photos and videos… obviously

They say a picture paints a thousand words. Well, there are 3,000 words to convince you to take up drone photography. Also, watch the video below. It’s so awesome we can hardly contain ourselves.

 

#2 You can deliver stuff without leaving your house

Most drones on the market can carry a load of at least 1kg and have a flight range of at least 1km so delivering something light such as documents or even a burger is easy-peasy.

 

#3 You’ll have a head-start on a career racing drones

Let’s face it; give someone something capable of motion and they’ll race it. So, it’s no surprise that drone racing – the legal ones lah of course – is gaining momentum (another intended pun). Practice those loops and pivots, and you may just be the next Lewis Hamilton of drones.

 

#4 You get a bird’s-eye view of birds

Bird-watching is a past-time that requires patience, dedication, and a strong back because it involves quite a bit of trekking into forests whilst carrying heavy optical equipment. This, of course, is a huge turn off for many.

However, a drone armed with the ability to stream live video to a smart device can make this activity more accessible, not to mention comfortable.

 

#5 You get to survey property damage

Living in Malaysia, we are blessed with life without hurricanes or earthquakes, but that doesn’t mean things don’t break from time-to-time due to wear and tear, and age.

A drone will allow you to survey the damage to your home, especially if it’s roof damage, so you’re better informed when getting a quotation from contractors.

Want a drone yet? Of course you do! But before you rush off to the nearest store, how does getting one for free sound?

From now till the 30th of September, join the #DigiMenangBersama contest and stand a chance to win yourself a drone! Other awesome prizes you stand a chance to win include Huawei P10 smartphones, Sony PS4 Pro, Garmin Fenix 5 sport watches, and Internet bonuses.
