Overview: More than just remote-controlled gadgets, drones can be used for marketing, real estate, cinematography, photojournalism, data capture, precision agriculture, law enforcement, and more. But if you want to fly a drone for your business, there's a lot to consider -- what kind of drone to buy, the basics of airspace management (our speaker is a student pilot), how to get your remote pilot's license (our speaker is a licensed remote pilot), drone pilot insurance, and regulatory protocol.
