Fly your Drone like a Pro

Flying a drone is fun but much harder than it looks. Like in the case of using digital cameras, we’re all amateurs at first. New pilots need to start with the basics before learning how to really master their flying.

Here are some tips on how you can fly your drone like a pro:

Do not go to manual mode too fast  
Manual mode is meant for expert flyers. Learn how to fly at low altitudes first until you understand manual mode and then start flying higher. When in manual mode, the systems put in place to help make flying easier will not provide the extra stability you need, and you’ll probably take poor-quality shots, making you discouraged before you really get into drone photography.

Be aware of the weather 
Wind is the downfall of most copters. If you notice 15 - 30+ KPH winds outside, you will not want to bring your quadcopter for a flight. Although there are some drones that have automatic correction for windy conditions, it is a rule of thumb to always check the settings of your drone.

Use GPS mode if available 
GPS provides great flight advantages that the beginner and advanced pilot will be able to take advantage of from their very first flight. GPS mode also provides the major benefit of knowing exactly where your copter is located. If a crash does occur, you will be able to find the wreckage much easier if GPS mode is active.

Keep controls simple 
As a beginner pilot, the controls that you need master are up, down, left and right. It is never a good idea to try doing a roll or flip for the first time when you’re outdoors and the weather is bad. Keep all of your controls as simple as possible.

Becoming a pro drone pilot requires getting to know your equipment, conditions, and mastering the basics. For a more advanced set of drones, visit http://slrhut.co.uk/search/?keywords=drones&page=2
