• The use of drones in aerial cinematography is
  becoming popular by day. From simple agricultural
  projects to complex projects in the filming
  industry many more people are embracing drones by
  day. If you love drones and think you could work

  tricks you should learn about drones.

Master your Drone

• First and foremost, master your drone. Know how
  to fly your drone. Know the maximum weight it can
  carry. Know the stunts it can easily do. Learn
  the controls including hovering and auto
  piloting. Know the size of camera that fits your
  drone best. Know the maximum runtime of your
  batteries.

Know your Place

• As a drone pilot you are flying an unmanned plane
  from the ground. This position is important to
  know so that when you look into the FAA websites
  you should easily identify the rules that apply
  to your position. FAA points out that you dont
  have to be licensed to fly a drone but you must
  know the rules.

Know the Rules

• Do not pilot your drone near crowd, government
  premises, air ports, or unmanned. Any of these is
  against the rules and could easily lead to
  maximum charges. Dont also fly your drone where
  there is any form of emergency including fire out
  breaks. Rules come first. Remember them always.

6
Set Equipments

• Try out your drone if it is functioning properly.
  A test flight is ideal before packing up for a
  shoot. Make sure the battery is charged to
  capacity and that you have an extra pair with
  you. Fine tune your camera and control pads. Have
  a co pilot ready (to help you keep an eye on the
  drone). Finally balance your propeller.

7
Know your Time

• Best drone photos and films are found at sunrise
  or just before sunset. You can also do a few
  during the night. Know your perfect weather
  conditions too. Avoid windy or rainy weather.
  Your drone need to be stable when taking shots
  but wind and rain might hinder it from doing so.
  This can give a poor shot.

8
Use Best Camera

• Cameras have different settings just like drones
  come in different sizes. Set your camera
  according to model and make. The best aerial
  cinematography dictates that you set your camera
  to the best settings. This allows you to take
  numerous shots and different angles but still
  have the very best.

Get Best Location

• The area that you will be using for your aerial
  film must be determined in advance. Always look
  for places that are out of heavy traffic. Unused
  fields are cool. Visit the place before you shoot
  so that you have the finally strategy in place.

10
Get a Gimbal

• If you are no pro you should get a gimbal.
  Gimbals help you to mount your camera during
  flight times so that you can to take precision
  pictures. It helps you to maintain focus even
  when your camera is on the move. Gimbals are
  often customized for specific drone models.
  Choose the suitable one.

Focus on GPS

• GPS mode is cool! It is the best mode for
  stabilization weather you are a pro or not. Here
  is how it works. Choose your location, fly your
  copter to it, and finally let go off all the
  controls. The drone will then stabilize alone and
  allow you to take still photos or films for your
  drone projects.
