VIDEO: Drone 6 makes a live on-air debut

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- We're excited about a new technology here at Channel 6 that's getting a lot of buzz - or, maybe you could say it's causing a lot of buzz.

Yes, we debuted "Drone 6" live on air Friday during Action News at 4.

It will allow us to literally give you a new perspective on stories during our newsgathering process.

Drone 6 can hover at much lower altitudes, to get close-up aerial footage that compliments Chopper 6 HD.

There are guidelines set by the FAA about the use of drones, and we here at 6abc have chosen to operate with even stricter standards - for both safety, to be responsible and to respect privacy.
