How To

How to Fly Drones at a Beginning Level

A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle that can be remotely controlled and used for surveillance, aerial photography, film production, research, and other hobby purposes. Drone technology has been around since World War II. DJI's Phantom series quadcopters were first commercially available in 2010. From beginner-friendly drones such as Parrot AR Drone 2.0 through professional-grade multirotor craft like DJI Mavic Pro, many types have been available.

There are several ways to fly a drone, including;

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, On/Off switches (like radios) and joysticks.
2. Manual Control – This method lets users remotely control the drone by using a smartphone app. The app will give you instructions.
3. Autonomous Flying - This allows the drone to take over all of the piloting duties. It's basically flying autonomously without any human intervention. It must have a builtin camera, sensors capable of taking images and data to enable autonomous flight.
4. Triggered flight - This is similar to manual control except that the pilot sets up a preprogrammed route and the drone follows the route until it reaches its destination. Once the programmed route has been completed, the drone returns to the base automatically.
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 wear goggles to protect themselves from debris while operating.
7. Camera - Certain drones come with cameras that allow you to take photos and videos from high above.
8. Obstacles-Some drones come with obstacle avoidance devices that keep them from hitting obstructions.
9. Speed - Some drones can travel at speeds over 40 mph.
10. Battery Life – Most drones will last 20 minutes to three hours depending on how powerful they are.
11. Range - Depending on the model, some drones can travel up to 30 miles away.
12. Power source – Some drones require external power sources, others require internal batteries.
13. Weight - Some drones are lighter than others, while some models can weigh as much as 4 pounds.
14. Size - Drones range from small devices that fit in one's palm to large crafts that weigh more than 50 pounds.
15. Price - Drones come in a variety of price categories, including high-end models which can run into the thousands and low-cost options that can start at $100.
