The Matrice 600 is only the beginning of a new line of powerful camera-carrying drones that is changing the very nature of filmmaking as we know it. Previously, large movie franchises like James Bond’s Skyfall and the Harry Potter series have used drones to film some famous scenes.
With the success of these filming techniques, one can only expect that at some point flying drones and unmanned aerial vehicles will take over film cinematography entirely, rendering the regular cameraman obsolete and reducing his role to a remote control holder. Luckily for the film industry, directors are tinkerers by nature and learning new tricks always falls in the audience’s favor.
