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

What You Need to Know when Buying Drones and Quadcopters

Drones and quadcopters give photos and videos new angles for enthusiasts. They are fairly inexpensive, they capture high-definition photos, and many new models are coming out.
Before buying a quadcopter, consider these features:

Camera
While former models have needed a separate video camera or GoPro, there are models now that have built-in cameras like the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+.
Built-in cameras are lighter than most other cameras and are more functional. Other considerations are resolution, the ability for the camera to be controlled, and the range of the camera.


Range
The range that you can control the drone is very important. Knowing the range is not so vital for casual users, but if you want to take aerial footage, you will need to know the range at which you can control your drone.

Live feed
There are models that transmit the live feed over Wi-Fi and may be able to be viewed from the controller or on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Controllers that have an LCD display will often have a feed that is sent and allows you to see what the drone camera is capturing. When there is no live feed present, footage can often be stored on an SD card or flash drive.

Battery Life
Whether the quadcopter is for personal use or professional use, such as in real estate, the last thing you want is for your drone to die mid-flight. The average time for a quadcopter to be functional is around 15 minutes before it needs to be charged on ground or have the battery replaced.


Height and Speed
The point of having a drone is to capture a larger scene in one frame, so height is important. Often times, the speed of the drone will be 15 - 25 KPH. If you’re capturing a sports game, speed is an even bigger factor.


Aside from these factors, consider the design, weight, warranty, and replacement option for parts of your drone. For a wide selection of drones and capabilities, you can visit http://slrhut.co.uk/search/?q=drones
