The rising popularity of drones also means that there are plenty of misconceptions about it that the general public has believed to be true. Such mistakes distort your understanding of the true potential of drones, so here, we take a look at the most common drone misconceptions.

Drones cannot fly for a long time
There are different kinds of drones for various uses, and they vary in size and shape. Usually, smaller, less expensive drones have a short flight time, which means that they cannot stay in the air for too long. However, more high-tech drones can remain in the air for hours at a time. It all depends on the battery capabilities.

Consumer drones and military drones do not have differences
Many people think that military drones and consumer drones are the same. But this is not true. Drones used for military purposes are much more powerful and are equipped with extremely complex technology. On the other hand, consumer drones are smaller, have less complex technology, and are designed for completely different purposes.

All drones have a camera attached to them
Even though there are camera options, not all drones have a camera that is attached. Many owners attach a camera for the purpose of recording during flight, but there are those who also use their drones without cameras, only for aerial tricks and/or races.

Consumer drones can easily avoid obstacles on their way
To be able to fly a drone smoothly, you need serious practice and skill. Even then, it can be difficult to avoid obstacles. Moreover, most affordable drones have limited navigation abilities. However, if your drone needs repair, an experienced drone technician can easily help you out.
