Remember when using a camera meant knowing F-stop and aperture settings? If you’re under 50, the answer is probably no. But you might recall a time when flying cameras were the stuff of sci-fi legend or at least reserved for the military-industrial complex, rather than average Joes.
Today, anyone with a hankering to capture aerial footage of real estate, weddings, a family vacay, or even a day hike can purchase a drone and make their cinematic dreams a reality. Of course, it will cost a pretty penny, and most drones are not exactly what you’d call user-friendly.
Without an experienced “pilot” to navigate your drone, you could end up with a very expensive paperweight after a crash. After wrecking more than a few costly drones, the founders of EXO Drones decided they needed something better. If they couldn’t find it, they’d make it themselves.
The result was an SLC-based company that produced a lineup of innovative drones packed with smart features at a fraction of competitor prices. Needless to say, there’s a lot to love about these user-friendly contraptions.
