Frequently Asked Questions

How to fly my drone?

Practice is key to flying a drone. Although drones are much more stable than regular aircraft, pilots still need to get experience. For beginners, we recommend practicing indoors or close to home.

Three skills are necessary to learn how to fly a drone. These skills include hovering, taking off and landing.

Take Off

Simply lift the drone in the air to take off. Once the drone is moving upward, hold down the button on the controller. Stop pushing the button when the drone reaches a desired height.

Hovering

Hovering refers to keeping the drone in midair. To hover, press and hold the left or the right triggers. Tilt the controller to move the drone. Hold down both triggers.

Landing

Landing refers to returning the drone safely to Earth. To land, release the throttle and tilt the controller downward toward the ground. The drone will slow down and eventually land.

Fly your drone as comfortable as possible. Make sure you don't crash into anything.


What are the downsides of drone photography

Drone photography is a great way to capture images as well as video. However, there are some downsides to flying small aircraft.

Drone flying is expensive. It could cost you hundreds, or even thousands of dollars depending on the drone that you buy.

To fly a drone safely, you will need certification and training.

Another downside is safety. Drones pose a danger because they are constantly in need of repair and maintenance. You could inflict serious injury or property damage if you lose control of your drone when taking photos or filming videos.

You may find yourself spending more time flying your drone than you do actually taking photographs or recording footage. You may also have restricted airspace in which you can fly your drone.

Some local governments limit where you can fly your unmanned aircraft vehicle. For example, you can not fly above 400ft or within five mile of any local airports, stadiums and hospitals.

Finally, drones aren't for everyone. People feel nervous about flying drones because they fear that they will crash into the ground or fall from the sky. Some people worry about accidentally hitting another person or object.

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


Are there any good spots to fly a drone and take photos?

Drones are an extremely useful tool to capture breathtaking shots of nature and landscapes. Drones are perfect for both close-up shots and stunning photos of wildlife like butterflies and birds.

Mountains, deserts lakes oceans beaches and cities are the best places to fly drones. Drone enthusiasts are known for taking scenic shots of their homes and other local attractions.

You should try shooting at night when the lights illuminate the surrounding landscape to explore new places. You can also try shooting during different seasons, especially winter, when snow blankets the ground.


Is it possible to make money from drone photography?

Photographers trying to make a living from drones face the greatest problem: there aren’t many products available that can solve the problems of flying them. This makes it less fun to fly drones if the equipment and software are not of high quality.

You also have to worry about insurance costs and liability issues, so most photographers will stick to taking pictures from the ground. However, there is an entirely new way to take pictures that can potentially earn you a commission.

Drones work in the same way that video cameras do by capturing light. Use the same technology to take amazing photos.

Companies have already made great strides to create photo-quality images from above. We have already discussed DJI & GoPro. We're seeing more companies in the space.

Although these cameras were designed for aerial photography they can also be used on the ground. Major manufacturers invest heavily in their imaging technology.

You'll soon be able buy a drone capable of taking incredible photos and 4K video. This may be happening already. DJI has been releasing higher-resolution versions for their Phantom series drones.

DJI's Inspire 2 recently came out with a 12-megapixel sensor, capable of shooting at 5120x3456 Pixels. And if you want to shoot in RAW format, you can record 8-bit files at 30 frames per second.

Yes, drone photos can be a great way to make some extra cash.
