In the past few years, many professionals have started flying drone cameras for aerial photography and videography. But flying a drone is not easy for beginners; one should follow instructions carefully while flying a drone camera. So, here are few very important instructions enlisted:

STEP 1: CONNECT YOUR PROPELLER WITH A DRONE

Insert the black propeller with the black ring & the white propeller with the

white ring. Don’t push too hard while inserting propeller in drone ring. If

you’re using much force while pushing, it may result in damaging the

motor.

STEP 2: INSERT BATTERY IN YOUR QUADCOPTER/DRONE

Always check that your battery pin has bottom end & switch on/off button

towards right hand side. Charge your battery 100% before flying a drone

camera because the life cycle of charged battery would be 15-20 minutes

only, so be careful.

STEP 3: INSERT MEMORY CARD IN YOUR DRONE CAMERA

Always remember, your card pin must be upper side & don’t forget to

format your memory card before you start to flying drone. You can format

memory card through your phone using the app. It is always advisable to

carry spare memory cards.

STEP 4: INSTALL DJI APP IN YOUR IPAD/ANDROID MOBILE PHONE 

Firstly, connect your iPad/mobile phone with remote. Before using drone,

always put your mobile on aeroplane mode. If you don’t do that, you might

get a call while flying and consequently connection could be lost.

STEP 5: NOW CHOOSE A TAKEOFF LOCATION (PREFERABLY OPEN AREA/GROUND)

Always remember camera’s face should be opposite to your position.

Keep in mind, if in any case, the camera faces the operator; all the

controls of remote will be reversed. Avoid accident by not flying drone in a

closed space or stormy weather. Always look for an open space for flying.

STEP 6: SWITCH ON THE DRONE POWER BY PRESSING THE BATTERY BUTTON TWICE

Always check twice that your phone and drone remote work properly

before you start to flying drone. Don’t take risk of flying a drone if battery

isn’t fully charged. Uncharged batteries often result in crash landing.

STEP 7: PULL BOTH THE JOYSTICKS DOWNWARDS TO START THE PROPELLER

Your rotary wings spin in opposite direction. Now, you are ready to fly your

drone camera. Once the drone has started flying make sure, there is no

sound other than motor’s. Also, check if there is any error message on the

phone screen.

STEP 8: TO GO UP & DOWN, PUSH LEFT JOYSTICK UP & DOWN

To fly a drone, keep moving the joystick to the left side. Avoid pushing

joystick with jerk. If there are jerks while using joystick, there can occur

problem with motor system. To move/rotate drone camera towards left &

right, push left joystick left & right.

STEP 9: TO GO FRONT & BACK SIDE, PUSH RIGHT JOYSTICK UP & DOWN.

FOR LEFT & RIGHT MOVEMENT, PUSH THE RIGHT JOYSTICK LEFT & RIGHT

Make sure, drone is there in front of your eyes. Its direction shouldn’t be

changed at any point of time.

STEP 10: FOR LANDING, PULL DOWN THE LEFT JOYSTICK SLOWLY

Always avoid high-speed landing. Before the drone touches the surface,

release the joystick to the center & gently pull down the left joystick for a

smooth landing. To turn off the motor/propeller, pull down the left joystick

& hold for 3 seconds. After rotary wings are stopped, switch off the battery

& remote by pressing their button.
