[0032] One application of this embodiment is as follows: When installing, the base 1 is installed on the upper side of a moving vehicle, such as a police car. On the highway, the police car is driving behind, and the drone 2 can fly forward quickly. During the flight, the vehicle occupying the lane is photographed by the photographing mechanism 14 to identify the license plate.
