Drones are the newest fad in filming and hobbies. You’ve surely seen a few drones pass over your head over the last few years and those numbers have most likely increased as drones have become more and more popular.

People love to use drones to film excellent footage of their airbnbs – using it for marketing purposes – or simply to enjoy flying it around because it can truly be a lot of fun. It’s like any other hobby, it’s thrilling to do.

However, there are a few important steps you need to take before taking your dron on its first flight, a checklist for lack of a better word. Just like anything new, whether you’re canoeing for the first time or partaking in some BonusFinder Canada gaming fun – you need to do a bit of a mental safety check.

This article aims to shed light on a few drone flying tips for beginners that you’ll not want to miss out on!

The First Few Steps to Drone Flying

The very first thing that needs to be done when purchasing your drone is to register it. You must register your drone before you fly it. Many people make the mistake of purchasing their drone and then taking it for a few flights before registering it.

This is wrong to do as it is illegal and if the officials in your area find out, the drone can be confiscated. However, if the drone is a mini dron and weighs menos de 250 gramos, you do not need to register it. Now, once the drone is registered, don’t forget to make use of the manual – it is there for a reason.

You will find everything that you need to know in there, from how to start the thing to the best ways to fly it. The manual also includes any kind of features or extra bits the drone might have. It is crucial to carefully inspect the drone.

When you receive it, it will often come with the air vents closed with stickers and the propellers either not yet attached or still tied together with a string from transit. It is important to remove everything that could hinder the flight.

Furthermore, if the drone is battery-led, the battery of the drone itself must be charged (make sure to charge it fully the first time, to not damage the battery) and the controller and your phone must be charged too. You need everything to be at an optimal level to ensure smooth sailing, or rather, a smooth flight. 

Do Your Research

At this point, you have done all that you can internally but there are external factors that you need to consider. The first thing you’ll want to do is download the apps you need to make the flight, pop on the camera function and visit the home settings of the drone.

Every drone is linked with a different app, so you just need to check the manual of your drone or ask the company you bought it from which app they would recommend. Then, you need to look into the local drone laws around your area.

Each region has its own rules regarding drones so you need to either look online or take a trip down to your local townhouse to find more information about the rules regarding where, when and how you are allowed to operate your drone in accordance with the law. Once you know this, you must remember two things: weather and space.

You need to choose a day when the weather is good. You do not want it to be windy or rainy as the wind might overpower your drone and leave you without one and the rain could damage the drone itself.

Furthermore, find a wide open space where you aren’t necessarily flying over people’s private homes, as they tend to complain about that and also find a space without tall trees so that you avoid losing your drone in the tops of the trees. 

If you do all the steps above and treat them like a bit of a checklist, you should encounter no problems on your first flight with your drone. As the saying goes ‘practice makes perfect’ so go out there, give it a go and you should get better at drone flying day after day. Don’t forget to have fun while you’re at it!

Hola, me llamo Richard J. Gross y soy piloto de Airbus a tiempo completo y propietario de un negocio de drones comerciales. Me inicié en el mundo de los drones en 2015, cuando empecé a hacer fotografía aérea para empresas inmobiliarias. En aquel momento no tenía ni idea de dónde me estaba metiendo, pero resulta que llamaron a la policía poco después de empezar a volar. No les gustaba que volara con mi dron cerca de la gente, así que me pidieron que fuera a formar a sus agentes sobre las normas y regulaciones de los drones. Después de eso, decidí montar mi propio negocio de drones y enseñar a otros el uso seguro y responsable de los drones.
