How To

How to Fly Drones for Beginners

A drone is a remote-controlled aircraft used for aerial photography, cinematography, surveillance, scientific research, and hobby purposes. The technology behind drones has been around since World War II. However, commercial use began in 2010 when DJI released their Phantom series of quadcopters. Many types of drones have been made available since then, from beginner-friendly models such as the Parrot AR Drone 2.0, to high-end multi-rotor craft such as the DJI Mavic Pro.

There are many ways to fly a drone.

  1. Remote control - This method uses a control device attached to your hand, which enables you to steer the drone through its flight path. There are two main types for controllers: Joysticks or On/Off switches, which can be used to control the drone's flight path.
  2. Manual Control - This method uses a smartphone app to remotely control the drone using GPS coordinates. You will need to keep track of where the drone is going and follow the directions from the app.
  3. Autonomous Flight: This means that the drone will take care of all the piloting. It is basically flying autonomously and without human intervention. To enable autonomous flight, the drone should have a built in camera and sensors capable recording images and data.
  4. Triggered Flight - This method is similar to manual control, except the pilot manually sets up a preprogrammed route, and the drone follows that route until it reaches the endpoint. After the program is complete, the drone automatically returns to the ground.
  5. Landing Gear – A few drones come with landing gear. This allows them land safely in the event of losing power or running out of battery.
  6. Goggles: Some pilots use goggles in order to protect themselves against debris when operating.
  7. Camera - Some drones are equipped with cameras allowing you to capture photos and videos from above.
  8. Obstacles - Some drones can be equipped with obstacle avoidance systems that prevent them from crashing into obstacles.
  9. Speed - Some drones can reach speeds of over 40 mph.
  10. Battery Life - Most drones can last between 20 minutes to 3 hours, depending on how much power you're using.
  11. Range - Some drones can travel upto 30 miles depending on their models.
  12. Power source - Some drones need an external power source, while others use internal batteries.
  13. Weight - Some drones can be as light as 1 pound while others can reach 4 pounds.
  14. Size - From small drones that can be carried in the palm of one's hand to larger drones that weigh over 50 pounds, drones come in a variety of sizes.
  15. Price - High-end drones can go for thousands of dollars, while low-cost models start at $100.
