Camera drone

Camera drones, often referred to as drones, were small floating cameras used by news reporters, especially W3N to record images and sound for their reports. This eliminated the need for a reporter to have an operator for a camera.

The drone used hover technology to stay aloft, while the reporter controlled the small device using an arm control. To see what was being recorded, the reporter used a set of glasses that showed a heads-up display of the drone's video. The glasses could also be taped on the side to activate the machine.
