Dive Brief:
- Inexpensive, lightweight, remote-controlled drones able to carry a camera through a job site offer a great way to document in pictures the progress of work for project managers and clients.
- Images taken from multi-rotor little aircraft can show work from angles and in detail that other methods might not be able to get at all, and they are way cheaper than hiring aerial photographers.
- Collecting drone-photographed images also can supplement the corporate bank of marketing and public relations photos with something a little different.
Dive Insight:
Drones will not provide the kind of work-tracking that a client gets by ordering one inside and one outside live video feed on every project, but they can provide daily evidence of what's going on and might even allow a manager to see a problem cropping up before it becomes a serious issue.
