Syma x5C Ezplorers

Note that piloting a drone and operating the camera at the same time is not as easy as it looks. Moreover, you should also think about public safety. Depending on where you fly, you could be risking the safety of people around you. Luckily, we have some tips to help you operate your UAV safely and get amazing shots.

• If it’s your first time flying, make sure you practice far away from people, cars and houses. You should fly on a daily basis for a few weeks in different locations before using it on set. Practice a lot.
• Before you use the drone, do the research first. UAV laws vary in each country. For instance, you are not allowed to fly a drone in London unless you have a permit. As this is a new technology many countries are still catching up and don’t have any drone rules.
• The best results are produced when flying the drone slowly with long, nice, fluid movements.
• Never fly above crowds; it is very dangerous.
• Make sure you don’t fly above 500 feet or near airports. The last thing you want be doing is crashing into a plane. Make sure to check UAV rules for everywhere you’re flying before you shoot.
• Experiment with the settings on your camera that you’ve attached to the drone and see the results. The more you can understand about this technology, the better equipped you’ll be, as every shoot is different and may require a different look.
• Plan each shot before you take off. Each battery on a drone lasts about 15 minutes, so minimize flight time. Also keep spare batteries on-hand.
• Check the weather conditions before flying the drone. Most drones are good in wind, but if it’s super windy or raining, it can be unsafe to fly.
• If you want to produce something amazing, start with a good idea. Create something that entertains, moves, and inspires people.
