There are many things that you can drop from a drone. Using your drone to deliver parcels, provide entertainment with Halloween props, drop parachutes or drop bait for drone fishing can be the perfect use for an old or new drone.

Tips
How many acres can a drone cover?
Buying a drone for agricultural purposes means that you should look at the amount of area that a drone can cover. Depending on the type of activity that you want your drone to perform you can choose from either a fixed-wing drone or a quadcopter. A fixed-wing drone can cover a lot more area but is much faster and useful for surveying and crop monitoring. A quadcopter on the other hand is able to fly low and slowly across your crops in order to spray fertiliser or insecticide.
Can drones be hacked? [studies and examples]
Drones are becoming increasingly used by hobbyist photographers, companies, the government, and agriculture just to name a few. For the regular user, it is unlikely that anyone would actually want to hack your drone to gather information. I simply use my drone to capture footage of my holidays and weekend excursions which I’m sure no hackers would be particularly interested in. However, if you are a government organisation that is using drones it may become valuable for hackers to break into your drone software and steal the data.

How to turn off beginner mode on DJI drones
when you first purchase a DJI drone it is likely that it will come with beginner mode turned on. Beginner mode is a fantastic option for new pilots as it limits the altitude, distance, and speed that the drone is able to achieve whilst also putting on limits such as no intelligent flight features. This mode enables you to be able to get used to the drone. Even the most experienced of pilots still turn on beginner mode for new drones that they have never flown before.

Best drones without geofencing [Hacks and more]
There have been many occasions when I have wanted to fly my drone and been thwarted by geo-fencing restrictions. On a recent trip to Lord Howe Island, I had to self unlock my DJI Mavic air drone. On an island that does not have any mobile phone reception, this was incredibly frustrating because I needed to get a code phoned through in order to unlock the flight zones around the island. This led me to start to wonder if there were any drones without geofencing. I climbed up to the top of Lord Howe Island’s lookouts and was completely disappointed that I was not able to fly my drone. Maybe I should have had a drone on this list.
