Were you desperate for your own drone as soon as they became popular on the mainstream market? For many tech enthusiasts, the idea of being able to own and control a drone was too much to resist, and now loads of us are in possession of these awesome flying devices. From drones with fancy night vision cameras through to hydrofoil drones, the number of features you can get on personal drones these days is pretty astounding, and they are becoming cheaper all the time. However, after you have taken out your drone, learned to fly it around and control it decently, and had some fun chasing your pets, what are some fun ways you can employ your drone after that?

Here, we give you three cute ideas for playing with your own drone.

Take More Epic Selfies Than Ever

We all know how lame selfie sticks are. However, quite often, you want to take a picture that includes a bit more than you can get in the frame holding your phone. Well, if you have a camera equipped drone, you can set up some great selfies using it. Want to take a unique picture of all of your friends at a party, wedding, or graduation? A drone selfie can be a great way to do it. Want to take a picture of yourself next to an amazing landmark or piece of scenery? Again, your drone is well equipped to help you.  Drone selfies can be taken almost anywhere it’s safe and legal to fly, and by combining a selfie and a drone view you can create some truly stunning videos to share with your friends.  Naturally, you don’t have to stop at selfies, either, and can also take some impressive video of yourself from perspectives you wouldn’t normally be able to get – great for things like sport.

Cosplay with Your Drone

Whether it’s for Halloween, a fancy dress party, or as part of a more elaborate cosplay for a convention, dressing up your drone and having it as part of your costume can be fun, and look really inventive. People have tried this using costumes for their drones to make them look like dragons (such as Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon or Drogon from Game of Thrones), birds, butterflies, ghosts, and all kinds of other things, and as long as what you use to create the costume is lightweight and doesn’t interfere with the drone’s operation, you can really do whatever you like!

Deliver Gifts to Your Friends

Whether you want to leave mysterious surprises as a way to play a prank on a friend, or you want to cheer them up with a cute gift or note, it can be easy to do with a drone. Using your drone’s camera you can even watch their reaction from where you are hiding and controlling it! How heavy an item your drone can carry will depend on its spec, but just about any drone can carry a note for you.

These are just a few ideas for silly, fun ways to enjoy your drone once you have mastered flying it.
