Four drone photography tips

Essential advice when you’re getting started with drone photography

1 GPS functionality is a must-have feature that gives the drone stability and control. With GPS you can let go of the controls and it will keep hovering in the same spot.

2 Invest in extra batteries. Generally the batteries on your drone will only last 15 or 20 minutes, so you’ll want to have a few to make the most of a shoot.

3 An FPV (firstperson-view) monitor is not essential but a very handy accessory that helps you see what exactly your drone’s camera can see while it’s up in the air.

4 When you’re starting out, pick an isolated location such as a field and practise, practise, practise until you feel more confident to take your drone out to busier locations.
