How To

How to Fly Drones With Beginners

A drone refers to a remote-controlled aircraft designed for aerial photography, surveillance and scientific research. Drones are a technology that has been around since World War II. DJI's Phantom series of quadcopters was the first to be commercially used. 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.

You can fly a drone in many different ways, including:

1. Remote control – This is when you attach a device to your hand that allows you to control the drone's flight path. There are two main types of controllers: On/Off switches (like a radio) and joysticks.
2. Manual Control - This method uses a smartphone app to remotely control the drone using GPS coordinates. You must keep track of the location where you want the drone to go and follow the instructions from the app.
3. Autonomous Flight – This is when the drone handles all the piloting tasks. It allows the drone to fly independently without any 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 is similar in concept to manual control. The pilot manually creates a route and the drone then follows it until it reaches that endpoint. The drone automatically lands once the route has been completed and returns to the base.
5. Landing Gear – Some drones are equipped with landing gear, which allows them to safely land if they lose power during flight.
6. Goggles - Some pilots wear goggles to protect themselves from debris while operating.
7. Camera – Some drones have cameras, which allow you to take photos or videos from up high.
8. Obstacles. Some drones can have obstacle avoidance technology that stops them from hitting obstacles.
9. Speed - Some drones can reach speeds of over 40 mph.
10. Battery Life: Most drones have a battery life of between 20 and 30 minutes depending on how many power sources you use.
11. Range - Some drones can travel upto 30 miles depending on their models.
12. Power source: Some drones will require an external power source while others can be powered by internal batteries.
13. Weight - Some drones are lighter than others, while some models can weigh as much as 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 - 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.
