The DJI Avata has been out for one year now and it has become without a doubt my all-time favorite drone to fly. Even with the incredible lineup of drones that DJI has right now, this is the one I always choose when I want to fly. This is for several reasons as I discuss in my long-term review. In this video, I share my thoughts on the DJI Avata after 1 year of incredible flights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth buying a drone for photography?

A great product is essential if you are serious about your business. If you want to make a name for yourself, you need to have a great product.

Many photographers don't know how to sell themselves. Instead of selling their products, they are trying to persuade others to buy them.

If you are running your own company, it won't make sense to wait around for others. You'll need to start looking for customers right away.

You will need to tell compelling stories that help them understand why your products are better than others.

You'll also need to come up with an effective strategy for marketing those products. Even if you do all of that, it's possible to fail because you don't know how to correctly price your products.

It is possible to decide to charge too high. You could decide to charge too low. Either way, if you don’t know what your charges are, you’re most likely making a mistake.

These mistakes can be avoided by thinking like a businessman. This doesn't necessarily mean that you need to be a capitalist. You must learn to value your effort, time, and money.

You must also develop strategies to measure the success of your company.

Once you know the price, you can start building the best product. A product that makes sense both financially and creatively.

A product that solves problems and provides real benefits.

One that stands out from the rest.

Once you have built the product, it's ready for launch. Now you are ready to build your business.

You can take aerial photos with your drone. It will enable you to become a professional photographer. It will improve your skills. It will also help to expand your business.


Which drone is best for beginners?

It is easy to fly a drone, and the best drones for beginners. These include drones that have an FPV (firstperson view) camera. Users can remotely control the drone with a smartphone application.

Quadcopters can be used for aerial photography. Multirotor models are better suited for advanced features like obstacle avoidance and autonomous flight mode.

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 often have limited range and battery life. But the best models are more reliable and can fly longer distances.

As they are simpler to use and handle, beginners tend to choose the cheapest options. If you plan on spending hours flying your drone, you might be interested in a higher-end model.


Can drones take night photos?

Yes. But we've been doing it for years now. We have been taking photos at night for many decades.

But there's a catch. Night photography requires specialist equipment. It's impossible to achieve night photography with a camera less than $10,000.

When light hits an object, it bounces back in a series of wavelengths.

These wavelengths can be combined to form white light over very long distances.

This is why we can see colors even though it is thousands of miles away.

Instead, light reflects narrow bands of wavelengths when it strikes objects that are close to the source. These wavelengths bounce directly back to us and do not overlap.

That means that the closer the object is, the brighter it appears. This is why objects can glow under black lights.

The energy the object absorbs influences how much light is reflected. Therefore, if light hits an object, it might reflect more blue than red light.

Blue light is the most sensitive for the human eye. Therefore, objects that are viewed under black lights will look more blue.

What does this have do with drones, then? You need a bright light source if you want to photograph dark objects, such as caves or forests.

An ordinary lamp won't be powerful enough to illuminate the entire scene. It will only provide a shadowed view and not much else.

If you want to get a great picture, you will need a flashgun. And since you don't want to carry around a huge flashgun, you'll need to buy a small one.

Because they produce flashes that are so rapid, these lights are often called speedlights.

When we say "stroboscopic," you can watch the light pulse across the screen. The higher the speed, the better the picture.

We won’t talk about how to setup a Speedlight. But there are plenty of tutorials online.

We will tell you to make sure that the subject is properly illuminated in order for a clear photograph.

To achieve this, you should aim the beam at a 45-degree angle. You can adjust light intensity by moving your flashgun's head.

Once you've found the perfect setting, keep the gun steady and press the shutter release button.

Once the flash has reached the subject's area, press the shutter yet again. This will activate the flashgun and fire another burst.

The first burst is the most visible, and the second captures the moment after the burst has ended.

This creates a continuous exposure in which both bursts or light are recorded.

Now that you're comfortable taking photos during the day let's get to night photography.

So far, I have told you everything you need to know about photographing things at night.

One thing is left to cover, however: the color harmony.

Most people assume that all images taken at nights will be too dark.

And that's true - but it's also true for daytime pictures.

The camera will always record darker images regardless of whether you are taking photos at dawn and dusk.


What time is best for drone photography?

When there's not much activity on ground, a drone can capture aerial images at sunrise and sunset.

Drones make great tools for photographing beautiful landscapes and the skies above them. However, drones may not be allowed to fly at nights so you will miss out on some spectacular views.

You can capture amazing photos by flying between sunrise and sunset. These times allow for stunning shots of nature and are often more popular because there are fewer cars on roads and fewer people.

You'll find that you can shoot at lower levels of light, which makes it easier for you to take pictures without worrying about overexposing.

Additionally, the drone can withstand strong winds, rain and snow. All of these factors make daylight perfect to take photos with drones.

However, if you want to capture some nighttime scenes, consider flying during moonlit nights. This will allow you to see the cityscape from a different perspective.
