Until now, Drone batteries have a very limited usage time. So, we recommend you to have a shooting plan to avoid any energy waste and dedicate it only to capture your footage. Also, if you have one, always carry a charged battery just in case.

3.- Laws and regulation:

As we always care about your security, please read what’s permitted and in your state and what’s not. This could certainly save you a lot of problems and your drone’s integrity.

4.- Recording settings:

Always remember that any footage requires it’s specific setting. This means that there’s no better configuration that which the situation needs to get enough visual information. Also, have in mind that it won’t be perfect at the moment, so have patience to post process it at the studio.

Nevertheless, always remember that faster shutter means less blur and more FPS!

5.- Use references:

Before thinking using a drone, there’s always a scene that you can get inspired of. Then, you’ll have a clearer idea of what you want to capture. So, always include references in your shooting plan to compare and decide which suits you best.
