About me (the guy behind the cryptic three T's):

my name is Tom David Frey. I'm half Swiss and half German and have lived in many fantastic places, from the United States to Israel. Somehow cool.
My age? Well, it rapidly changes. But you can surely do the math: I was born in 1992, somewhere in a small town in mid-Rhineland-Palatinate.
Now the relevant things you came here for: I have a strong passion for cameras and drones. I got my first Sony at the age of six and started my own business when I turned 18 (don't ever let people tell you that you will not succeed; Live your dreams!).
Nowadays, I'm shooting videos in many countries. I have private clients as well as major companies I'm working with, f.e. Netflix. And everyone knows that one, right?
But, more importantly, I love to fly and shoot (video) with my drones. I've flown in so many countries already (China, Switzerland, the USA, Spain, Iceland, Israel, Germany, and plenty more) and love to explore the world from above in all its beauty.
That's why my main business is all about drones. I capture the world from above. And I share my experiences, knowledge, and the best new inventions with you.
Drones and cameras excite me so much that I put a lot of time and hard work into creating my videos. And I love that you guys appreciate them!

Now, join me on my adventures and subscribe to my channel.
Stay tuned and fly safe!

The fine print quickly summed up 💻

Some of the links above are so named "affiliate links". By using those, I can get a small provision for purchases you guys make. That way, I can stay true to you because I don't need companies to pay me for creating videos. I'm independent and loyal to you - the best audience!
Therefore, if you purchase your gear through my links, I can keep up the honest work. 👏

The videos on my channel are property of Tom David Frey. Duplicating and re-uploading them without a written permission is prohibited. Sorry, guys, but that's necessary. I work hard on my content and somehow need to make a living. Maybe instead share my videos, by spreading the link or embedding it to your websites or forums. But please, don't steal my work. 😎

By law, I have to mark my video as a "commercial." I herewith do so: this video is a commercial. Though I promise to be honest to you, my audience, all of the time. I like nothing less than fake reviews and videos that spread half-truths just for the financial gain of someone. I believe that being honest to you is much worthier in the long run than making quick money by spreading fake information. Truth rules! Don't believe me? I already had to give up on two promising cooperations because the companies found my videos to be too honest. I call that my occupational risk. 🦾

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the disadvantages of drone photography?

Drone photography offers a unique way to capture photos and video. But there are also downsides when choosing to fly a small aircraft.

The biggest disadvantage of flying drones are their cost. It could cost you hundreds, or even thousands of dollars depending on the drone that you buy.

You will need to be certified and trained to fly a drone.

Safety is another problem. Drones can be dangerous as they need to be repaired and maintained constantly. You could inflict serious injury or property damage if you lose control of your drone when taking photos or filming videos.

You might find that you spend more time operating a drone than actually capturing photographs or recording footage. Additionally, your drone may not be able to fly in the airspace you have.

You may be restricted by local governments as to where your unmanned aerial vehicle can fly. You cannot fly more than 400 feet and within five miles from any airports, stadiums hospitals, schools or prisons.

Drones are not for everyone. People feel nervous about flying drones because they fear that they will crash into the ground or fall from the sky. Others are concerned that they may accidentally hit someone or something else.

If you don't feel comfortable flying a helicopter, you may want to stick with traditional aerial photography and videography techniques.


How much money do drone photographers make?

Photographers can earn more than $10k depending on how long they fly and where they shoot. If you shoot in remote areas such as national parks or forests, you could earn upwards of $20-30 an hour.

Retail workers make $15-25 an hour, so you could easily earn $50-$75 flying drones. There are plenty of ways to earn more. Many drone pilots work for companies that require them fly across the country and even internationally.

Prices for flights can range from $100 to $300 depending on the amount of time spent flying and the distance covered. Although this can quickly add up, if you are passionate about photography and enjoy flying, it could be worthwhile.


Which drone do you recommend for beginners?

These drones are great for beginners as they don't require any advanced skills. These include drones that have an FPV (firstperson view) camera. Users can remotely control the drone with a smartphone application.

Some quadcopters have been specifically designed to be used for aerial photography. If you are planning to explore more advanced features such as autonomous flight mode, obstacle avoidance, etc., you might opt for a multirotor model.

In terms of price, there are two types of drones; cheap ones that cost under $100 and expensive ones that cost above $300.

The cheapest models usually come with a limited range and battery life, while the most expensive ones feature better performance and longer flight times.

Because they are easier to control and operate, most beginners choose to purchase cheaper models. If you plan to fly your drone for many hours, you might consider buying an expensive model.


Which drone is the best for photography?

Drones are a fascinating technology that can be used in many ways. They can be used to take aerial photos, make movies, or even deliver packages. But what makes drones such useful tool? Drones are becoming increasingly popular due to two main reasons. They can be used in so many different ways. There are many uses for drones. Drones can be used to perform almost every type of task that a camera is capable of. They are easy to use. It is very easy to fly a quadcopter if you have ever flown one.

Drones are also great because they can capture amazing images. Amazing photos can be captured by drones in places you would not normally visit. These include remote areas where you could potentially fall into dangerous situations.

Drones require very little skill to operate. Once you know the basics, you can fly your drone anywhere and shoot amazing photos. Check out our drone collection if you want to take better photographs.


Which time of the day is best to take drone photos?

A drone could capture aerial images during sunrise and sunset hours when there isn't much activity on the ground.

Drones make great tools for photographing beautiful landscapes and the skies above them. Sometimes drones can't fly at night so you might miss spectacular views.

Consider flying at sunrise or sunset to ensure that you are not missing out on any photo opportunities. These times provide more opportunities to capture stunning shots of nature because there are usually fewer cars on the road and fewer people walking around.

You will find it easier to shoot in low light levels.

Additionally, the drone can withstand strong winds, rain and snow. These conditions make daylight perfect for photographing with a drone.

You can capture nighttime scenes by flying at night. This will give you a unique perspective of the cityscape below.


What should I know about the laws regarding drone photography?

Drone flights are regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Local laws may also apply in addition to the FAA regulations. To find out which drone flight rules apply to your state, check with the transportation department.

In most cases, drone owners are required to obtain a license from the FAA. The FAA has guidelines for licensing. These guidelines are available for more information.

Some states require drone operators to register their drones with the government. Check out our Guide to Drone Registration for more information.

How To

How to Create a Time-Lapse Using a Drone?

Time-lapses can be made with two types of cameras: DSLRs (Digital Single Lens Reflex), and which are more expensive than point-and shoot digital cameras.

The way light enters DSLR cameras can also make them produce better quality images. They are not ideal for video because they require manual focus, exposure and exposure settings.

Point-and-shoot cameras, such as those made by GoPro, are easier to operate for beginners. Videos will look grainy because of the lower resolution.

Consumer drones are the best choice for time-lapse photography. These small flying robots are popular because they provide an affordable alternative to professional drones.

A drone can be described as a remote controlled aircraft that is autonomous and does not require human intervention. A drone generally uses one propeller to fly. Quadcopter drones could have multiple propellers.

A drone can not only capture aerial footage but also cinematic shots with a bird’s-eye view. A gimbal stabilizer can be added to drones for smooth handheld footage.

You can create a time lapse by recording the drone above your subject. If there is no direct sunlight overhead, the sky will appear darker during the shot.

The aperture and shutter speed can be adjusted to create the desired effect. For example, you could set your shutter speed to 30 seconds for a sunset shot and keep the aperture wide open in order to capture as much natural daylight as possible.

Night shots can be shot using the opposite approach. To reduce light entering the camera's sensor, set the shutter speed at 1 second. This produces bright images with details clearly visible.
