Twitter recently announced Twitter Periscope drone video broadcasting. A new service where Twitter account holders using Twitter's Periscope live video broadcasting application could soon live stream photos and videos from their drones.
That's right Twitter Periscope drone video.
The new feature will only be available if you use an iPhone or better and certain DJI drones.
DJI Inspire, Phantom 4, Phantom 3 Professional or Advanced, Osmo, drones.
Hopefully the list of qualified drone and phone will expand with time.
How do I broadcast from my DJI drone?
We first heard some information or had some clue that Twitter has thoughts of of service along these lines of photos and video taken from drones and sending the data to users accounts back around December 21, 2015. At that time CNBC ran a story that Twitter was granted a patent for such a technology.
Twitter was granted a patent last week for an unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV, that takes photos and videos that can be shared on user accounts. Twitter users could control the drone's movement and stream what it captures.
Twitter has been working on this idea for well over a year now and it looks like we will be seeing the results of this work in the not too distant future.
