technology

GPS hover technology uses satellite positioning combined with barometric altitude sensing to keep a drone (Deals) locked in three-dimensional space. This feature revolutionized aerial photography by allowing pilots to focus on camera work rather than constantly adjusting controls. Modern consumer drones can hold position within centimeters, even in moderate wind conditions.
