FIVE BASIC TIPS FOR EVERY DRONE CONTENT CREATOR
Arnau will be much more specific about the flight, photo and video techniques we’ll be able to experience with a drone, but there is a list of basic tips that both novices and experts cannot ignore.
- The first step isto learn as much as possible about the drone, so you should immerse yourself in the manuals and familiarize yourself with the controls in controlled environments. Flight practice is essential before attempting complex shots, so you must learn to fly before you learn to take photos.
- Planning your shotsis really important. You should research the area using apps like Google Earth or by looking at what other photographers have done. Keep in mind that a drone’s flight time is less than 20 minutes, so it’s best to think before you fly.
- Prepare the drone. Check that the batteries are charged, determine the number of memory cards you will need, and thoroughly clean the lenses. You should also have your usual camera settings ready.
- The weather can be a challenge. Stay as informed about the weather as possible, as strong winds, rain, snow, or even very low temperatures can take you out of the game.
- Safety and ethics above all. Respect people’s privacy, avoid entering restricted areas, and above all, make sure you can fly in the area legally and safely. Even if you comply with all of this, don’t take unnecessary risks with your shots.
A DJI DRONE FOR EVERY TYPE OF USER AND NEED
DJI is currently the market leader in drones, thanks to its ability to offer cutting-edge technology at affordable prices. Among the technologies featured in all its models, we must highlight camera stabilization with gimbals, integrated obstacle avoidance systems, and autonomous flight capabilities.
It’s worth noting that devices as complex as those from DJI have been designed to be easy to use, with intuitive interfaces and simplified control systems. This has satisfied a broad user base, from hobbyists to professionals. DJI also offers a complete ecosystem beyond drones: accessories, software, and services.
Last but not least, it’s worth highlighting their incredibly compact size, making them as easy to transport as a camera. All these features make them an ideal tool for professionals who work on the go, as well as for recreational users.
Taking a drone on vacation can be a great idea if you’re interested in aerial photography and videography; it can enrich your travel experience and allow you to capture unique memories. However, it’s important to be well-prepared and to know and respect local regulations.
Immersive flight experience with DJI Avata 2
The DJI Avata 2 is the perfect choice for those who want an immersive FPV flight experience , with improved image quality, safety, and battery life. Enhance the fun by pairing the drone with the new DJI Goggles 3.
The DJI RC Motion 3 control system allows you to ascend, descend, or flip simply by moving the joystick, enabling you to record stunning aerial videos. As for image quality, its upgraded 1/1.3-inch image sensor allows for super-wide close-up shots in 4K at 60 frames per second with HDR.
The updated design of the integrated propeller guard allows Avata 2 to be lighter and more agile for free flight in confined spaces.
Mini at full power: DJI Mini 4 PRO
You can’t pack more features into less space. The DJI Mini 4 Pro is a drone that weighs only 240 grams and has virtually no weaknesses, from powerful imaging capabilities to an omnidirectional obstacle avoidance system.
The DJI Mini drone is incredibly safe , thanks to the use of four wide-angle vision sensors and a pair of downward-facing vision sensors. The Advanced Pilot Assistance System (APAS) ensures added safety by enabling the drone to automatically brake and avoid obstacles during flight.
Adapting to new content platforms, it allows for vertical recording in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second and HDR format. Despite its small size, the drone boasts a flight time of nearly 34 minutes.
ARE YOU STARTING OUT IN THE WORLD OF DRONES?
DJI offers a wide range of products, from drones for beginners to professional models for cinematography and industrial applications. This allows them to cater to a diverse clientele with varying needs and budgets.
At the entry-level price point, you can find fantastic drones like the DJI Tello, ideal for learning to fly , with an integrated camera and the ability to transmit video in 720p format. Its flight distance can reach up to 100 meters.
If our budget is very tight, but we need a drone with professional flight and recording capabilities, it’s advisable to look at DJI’s catalog from previous years. Among the quadcopters currently worth considering, the DJI Mini 2 remains a good option.
What are the standout features of the DJI Mini 2 ? First, its weight, less than 250 grams. Second, a battery life of over half an hour. A third noteworthy feature is its HD video transmission range of up to 10 km.
MAGNIFICENT STABILIZATION ALSO IN YOUR HANDS
If there’s one feature highly valued in all DJI products, it’s undoubtedly image stabilization. This is due to their advanced gimbal technology, the sensors and processors that analyze movement, the stabilization software that works in conjunction with the hardware, and the build quality of the components.
Thanks to these factors, DJI has managed to establish itself as a leader in the market for drones and stabilized cameras, which we can also integrate into mobile phones or independent cameras through the company’s motorized stabilizers .
