Martha Stewart, the original queen of crafts and one-time jail-bird, has become as successful as she is thanks to her vast array of interests and hobbies, and that has now even extended to drones.

Writing on TIME, Stewart talks about how her drone has helped her get a different perspective on her life, literally. She recalls her first experience with a photo drone:

In just a few minutes I was hooked. The view I was “seeing” on my iPad with the help of the drone would have otherwise been impossible without the use of a private plane, helicopter, or balloon. With any of those vehicles, I would have needed a telephoto lens, and all of them would have made an unacceptable commotion on the beach. What’s more, I would not have been in the photos!

My mind started racing and I imagined all the different applications for my drone. I knew that every type of use had already been thought of by others (governmental agencies, businesses, Amazon.com, Google Maps), and I knew I could not even begin to fathom even a fraction of the social, ethical, and political challenges the widespread use of drones would create.

You too can also get the epic Phantom drone (like the one Martha used to get some shots on Marthastewart.com) and more from Drone Photo, who have some different models and options available, including drones with GPS, camera and stabilising features on offer.
