way let's get started all these tips are quite Universal and very common-sense
again hopefully this tips will help you or enable you to sort of be a better
drone pilot and also pick up a couple new things or new skills that you can
incorporate whenever you fly your turn tip number one is learn the controls
mastering the controls is probably one of the key to be successful as a drone
pilot whether it's a manual mode or GPS mode learn the controls next one is
practice practice and more practice learn what each button and function of
your drone does and practice using them together and in combination just to give
you context if you're taking a drone exam like I did I needed practice some
of the moves in there because they were gonna tell you to do this particular
moves in your drone and you got to really do it you know as perfectly as
you can take number three quite self-explanatory but remember before you
fly check your drone if you look at any Air Force pilots they do pre-flight
checklist before they fly same goes with the drone pilot you still need to do a
pre-flight checklist before you even fly your throne
make sure your mode controls fully charged make sure the propellers are
working snow damage to your drone you know and those are some of the key
things it's very simple to do but sometimes we flew tend to forget it
number four not that you're ready and you're about to fly make sure that you
keep your eyes on the drone when you're flying the golden rule of drone flying
is to keep your drone inside by keeping visual contact you'll be able to better
see potential obstacles or hazards and find it harder to accidentally fly out
of frame saying this time and time where people are just too much focusing on the
you know the screens but without even checking word
is gonna go to be and they end up hitting you know an obstacle a tree or
here and there so try to balance it out looking at the screens but also having
that visual line of sight of where your drone is going which leads me to tip
number five pay attention when you're flying this goes hand-in-hand with
number four the most common way people crash their drone is by getting
distracted while flying whether you're flying and he's suddenly
looking at you know beautiful girls at the beach or you get distracted with a
dog suddenly barking at you trying to have that presence of mind that you are
flying you're keeping eyes on the drone and also in the remote control and the
screens and also make sure that you're you're aware of your surroundings as
well okay tip number six and this could be a sensitive topic do not fly your
drone or crowded places depending on where you live and which country you
live in if you're flying your drone in a very crowded places
it's definitely frowned upon sometimes it's illegal tip number seven be careful
when flying in the wind windy days are some of the most difficult conditions
when you're flying a drone in it doesn't help because it impacts your stability
of your drone flight and also the accuracy of your drone flight so think
about it the wind is so strong but your drone is starting like this part if
you're flying gets away and forget it because your spark will end up using a
lot of battery to sort of use all the power to actually push through the wind
tip number eight is particularly on filmmaking make sure you plan your shots
before you even fly make sure you plan your flag route and
shots before you start flying your drone you got to do some research survey that
area or location that you're gonna go how am I gonna fly what type of shots
I'm gonna take my new route you know what you want to do you know what type
of shots you're gonna take it's gonna save you a lot of time you know juggling
around thinking what to do tip number nine keep space on hand whether it's a
spare propeller and spare batteries you know make sure you actually have spares
in your bag let's just say one of the well is broke or there's something wrong
with this belt propeller when you landed at a place you have a spare one you can
easily replace that and you can continue on with your
drone flight okay and finally tip number 10 educate yourself with the drone laws
that's applicable in your area or the country that you live in or also the
country that you potentially be flying into to fly your drone this is probably
the most important one because we get too excited when we have that drone last
thing you wanna do is we're here at the airport and the security officer tells
you oh you know drones not prevented in this country we have to confiscate that
generally now you know a lot of countries are tend to be more acceptable
with drones plus there's still specific countries or locations where drones are
banned or illegal so make sure that you educate yourself on the places that
you're gonna go into but also educate yourself with the drone law so that's
applicable in your area or the country you live in
remember to keep yourself up to date with the drone laws like I said they
tend to change from time to time so yeah those are the tips that I can share for
