Australia’s first magazine dedicated to the booming unmanned aerial vehicle market has just gone on sale.
Drones are everywhere and the market continues to grow at an exponential rate. There are drones for kids, drones for hobbyists, drones for business and drones for government. Drones for agriculture, drones for industry, drones for mining, drones for security.
Personal drone and quadcopter sales in the US more than doubled last year and the US Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) predicts the global market will increase by more than 750% over the next three years.
To tap into this exciting market, Yaffa Media, specialists in niche media brands, has launched DRONE, Australia’s first publication dedicated to the booming unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market.
Targeted at professionals, amateurs and beginners alike, its content spans all aspects of owning and operating a drone, including flying tips, buyer’s guides, product test flights, rules and regulations, privacy issues and much more. There are aerial video competitions with drones as prizes, profiles of leading drone operators and a fascinating article about FPV (first person view) drone racing.
DRONE draws on the experience of seasoned editor, and commercial pilot, James Ostinga (Managing Editor of Australian Photography + digital and Capture magazines), and CASA-certified pilots and commercial drone operators Craig Newlyn and Andy Willmott.
Publisher Jeremy Light says, "This is one of the fastest-moving product categories around, driven by amazing new advances in technology. This publication is for all drone enthusiasts..."
DRONE magazine is available nationwide from all good newsagents, or you can order a copy at www.greatmagazines.com.au/drone. The magazine is also available digitally (compatible with iPad, iPhone, Win8, Android and ZR4) for $9.99.
