Drones are actually very useful accessories for filming, especially for cinematic aerial shots. The formerly tough or expensive shots can now be done cheaply and easily, plus these drones are small enough to bring wherever one needs it. (Fun fact: There is a film festival for drone... films... drone filming? I don't know, filming with drones) Drones can also be sent to places unattainable by humans, such as around an active volcano too dangerous for people to be near. Apparently Harry Potter movies had used drones, along with Skyfall.

You had me at making fun of Kanye... And irritated me with the selfie-er "dronie" as it was called... Ew... But anyway, Drones! I'm kind of sick of hearing about them because people can't shut up about them. Now it would be amazing to get some nice shots with little actual effort, so yeah these things are cool. Heck, apparently they're being used to ship packages to people now. It's also pretty sweet that you can get drones close enough to a volcano to get some sick shots that would be too dangerous for a normal dude to try and pull off. And you can use them to spy on third world countries! Oh, that's a different type of drone? Oh well. Then just spy on your neighbors, you creep. Joking aside, these can be a really cool tool for a video fanatic, and they're probably more fun than those rc helicopters that we all wanted when we were little. Don't lie, you wanted one.
