Who invented the aerial camera? If we want to discuss which company pioneered drone aerial photography, this topic seems to have triggered a round of war of words. However, if anyone wants to push the drone aerial photography market to the public, then Wang Tao, the founder of DJI, must be among them.
When you see this, don't think Fei Feijun is going to endorse DJI today. Fei Feijun introduced the German photographer Neubronner and his pigeons, the originator of aerial drones.
/kloc-More than 0/00 years ago, Neubronner, a German photographer as a pharmacist, began to train pigeons as couriers in order to let patients get medicines faster. Once, a pigeon flew back a month late for no reason. Neubronner's brain was wide open, and he wanted to see where the pigeon flew, so he began to install a small camera for the pigeon to record its flight history.
Strict Germans applied for a patent for this pigeon portable camera suit.
Wearing this equipment, pigeons look proud!
These pigeons also formed a decent aerial photography team.
Neubronner, the founder of "pigeon aerial photography", also made posters for his brand-new career.
Seeing this flying "flying pigeon", do you feel that any GPS ground station, intelligent obstacle avoidance technology and flight control open source technology are very weak? According to the level of intelligence, this is the smartest drone ever!
"Aerial pigeon" has left us precious photographic works.
Later, Neubronner began to promote his invention patent, flying pigeons at the exhibition site for aerial photography, recording the grand exhibition, and then making these photos into postcards for sale. "Pigeon aerial photography" was once all the rage and even favored by the military.
Although "pigeon aerial photography" has not gone to glory, we still want to praise Mr. Neubronner's innovative spirit. Today, his career is worth at least tens of billions of dollars.
