Just don't call us dronies

Just don't call us dronies

 

Not so long ago a passerby referred to us as “dronies”. Well, that was the first time anyone had used that term to describe us and weren’t sure how to respond; we simply gritted our teeth, forced a smile and gave a friendly wave. What else could we have done?

Now Lunar Aerial Imaging doesn’t have a real problem with the word; indeed it’s a great descriptor for all the hobbyists out there and we remember that all that time ago we started out as hobbyists. We respect them and think the word dronie is an accurate and affectionate way of referring to them. Let’s get this on the record: we love dronies (as long as they keep to the rules).

It was bound to happen. For only £800 000 anybody can now buy some kit that can detect a drone from 5 miles away and then disrupt the drone to the point of a crash should they choose to do so. Ouch! Read more to hear more about the new anti drone technology. 

The Curse of the Unlicensed Drone

The Curse of the Unlicensed Drone

The tail end of 2015 will see thousands of new recreational drones being unwrapped in front of the Christmas tree, mostly tiny but some larger, and a lot of them will carry cameras. Expect the skies to be thick with the little creatures on Boxing Day as users start to master their radio controllers, and expect many tears to be shed as their craft crash into trees, smash into overhead cables, or fly off out of control towards the local fishing pond. Hopefully no dog walkers will be injured.
