learn

Human beings have longed for flying in the sky since ancient times. In 1783, the hot air balloon designed by the Montgolfier brothers enabled humans to take off for the first time. Because of this, the French photographer Nadal became the world’s first aerial photographer in 1858, and has since opened up humanity. Aerial history. The source of UAV aerial photography is war. It was successfully manufactured after World War I and has a history of nearly a hundred years. With the development of science and technology, many technical problems of UAVs have been overcome. The civilianization and commercialization of drones was slowly realized around the beginning of the 21st century.

Today, drone aerial photography has been widely used in many fields, such as architectural surveying and mapping, agriculture, search and rescue, etc. It is also a gospel for travelers, adding new fun and options to photography and outdoor tourism. Travelers can use drones to take pictures of curvaceous coastlines, beaches, grand canyons, volcanic eruptions, and the glorious lights of the metropolis at night, etc., and record a variety of stories in innovative ways.

Human society is changing with each passing day. Whoever masters the drone can see higher and farther.

Prepare

Preparation before departure

There are many aspects that need to be prepared:

• Know the local flight and aerial photography laws and regulations.
• Check the weather forecast to get the local weather conditions and sunrise and sunset times.
• The equipment must be adjusted before departure.
• Make sure that the TV is fully charged, bring the charger, and prepare memory cards, card readers and other equipment.
• Make a list, plan what needs to be shot, and adjust it according to the actual situation.
• Ensure that the propeller and motor are clean and undamaged, and the propeller must be firmly installed on the motor, the motor can start normally, and the camera lens needs to be cleaned.

Destination selection

When you want to use drones to shoot, you need to pay attention to local geographic conditions and other influencing factors.

The local altitude is very important. Some drones have altitude restrictions. If the altitude is exceeded, they will not be able to fly! Afterwards, I will also investigate the surrounding environment. Tall steel buildings may interfere with the positioning system and signals on the drone. Your drone flight will also be affected by mobile phone base stations, etc.), so you should choose a more open place.

All electronic products have a temperature limit, and drones are no exception. They can only be used between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius.

During shooting

The issues that need to be paid attention to during shooting are:

• Takeoff and landing,The drone should hover for a while at an altitude of 5-6 meters at the beginning. After confirming that there is no abnormal operation, proceed to the next step. During takeoff, it is necessary to ensure that the signal is in the best transmission state.

• Sudden weather changes,You should check the weather forecast before flying to get weather information. Never fly or take aerial photography under severe weather (such as strong wind, blizzard, or heavy fog). If you encounter a sudden change in the weather, please call the drone back manually immediately; some devices also have an intelligent return-to-home system, which can also be made to return automatically.

• The crowd watched,Due to the novelty of drones, there are always many people watching during its flight. In view of this, please try to take off in an open area with few people, or find friends and other people to help block the crowd from approaching. Because if there are more people, it will affect the flight to a certain extent. For example, if you encounter the first class, you also need to stay away from animals like cats and dogs.

• Be familiar with the environment and ensure that the drone is within the visible range,"Know yourself and the enemy, you must be familiar with the surrounding environment before flying, so that you can determine which areas can be safely flown. At the same time, try to ensure that the drone is within the visible range, you can control the flying direction of the drone at any time, and you can respond to any problems that may occur.

• Flying in different flying environments,The main environment can be divided into four types:
  • city,The city is dense with high-rise buildings. Not only do some cities prohibit drones from flying in the city, but they also have certain limitations when flying, requiring full attention. At the same time, the surrounding buildings may affect the GPS signal, making the drone unable to accurately locate and affecting the flight, so you must be skilled in flying here. In addition, it is recommended not to fly in crowded downtown areas.
  • suburbs,In the suburban environment, always pay attention to changes in the weather. If you don’t understand the surrounding environment, you need to test the flight first, and you must stay away from interference such as high-voltage lines. In addition, please try to ensure that the drone takes off in a relatively flat and open area to avoid obstacles such as flowers, plants and trees that affect the signal transmission.
  • High Altitude Area,At high altitudes, the air pressure is low and the air is thin, which may cause some adverse effects on the flight. Please try your best to fly within the recommended flight altitude range of the drone (usually below 6000 meters), and perform a more relaxed control, and do not violently lift and fly.
  • Low temperature areas,For aerial photography of drones in low temperature areas, it is recommended to warm up the drone before flying and keep the temperature of the drone and battery. After taking off, it is recommended to stay in the air for a while to allow the battery to adapt to this harsh environment for a while. Because the low temperature environment has a certain impact on the efficiency of the battery, the flight time must be strictly controlled, not to fly too high or far, and not to violently lift and fly. Since the low temperature makes the plastic shell very fragile and fragile, the drone should be kept as stable as possible, and special care should be taken during the landing to avoid excessive impact to damage the drone.

• Concentrate on,Although some drones are equipped with intelligent systems that can avoid many dangers, the controller also uses full attention to control the drone to avoid distractions caused by communication with others.

• Don't challenge the danger,Drones are not performing stunts, don't try their best, and challenge the danger. Do not operate when the body is weak or lacking energy. After landing, please turn off the drone first, and then turn off the remote control.

After shooting

After each shooting is completed, it is necessary to check in time to ensure that the desired effect is achieved. If it is not reached, you can retake it. The photos taken should be backed up in time to avoid loss.

Insurance purchase

Buy in mainland China

If you purchase DJI UAVs in mainland China, you will automatically get a third-party liability insurance. The third party’s property damage and the third party’s personal injury are covered, but the insurance does not include insurance. Property and personal damage caused by the person, the insured, the insurer, the actual operator of the multi-axis aircraft and the family members of the above.
