Why would you ever need a camera drone in your life?
As demand for drones continues to grow, one thing's for sure – more and more people want to put cameras into the sky. But what could everyday sort of people actually do with one? As it turns out, you can use them for more than just zipping around your local neighborhood. And you don't have to be into extreme sports or filmmaking either. Here are five videos that show what anyone could do with a camera drone.

4. Go fish!
This one's so whacky it's genius! Watch as these guys use a drone to find tuna far offshore, then cast down from the sky and reel their catch in. Not into big game fish? Not to worry. You'll find other drone fishers on YouTube if bass is more your thing.
