Commercial and recreational drones are a relatively new phenomena. It was introduced in 2010 when French company Parrot lofted its AR Drone. Since then the drone market has exploded. According to the Federal Aviation Administration{{Footnote.N59322}}, the U.S. alone is home to over a million registered drones of which a large number are for commercial purposes and an even larger number for recreational use.
There are many different types of drones for every level of experience, whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or a professional photographer.
Most drones are equipped with limited internal storage which is a major drawback if you’re shooting 4K video or hoping to snap off a string of landscape photos during your flight. Don’t worry because many of them offer a solution: a microSD slot.
