Ares Drones - Ben Brautigam, Justin Miller, Sherwyn Saul
At Ares, we design and build consumer drones that everyone can fly.  By putting the user experience first, our solution allows non-technical users to capture their own aerial photos and videos. This experience is achieved simply by drawing a flight path using an iPhone or iPad.  Through design and automation, we remove the technical barriers and allow our customers to focus on what matters most:  creating amazing aerial content.
