5 tips for using a drone for the first time

5 tips for using a drone for the first time

June 27, 2018

Drone usage has risen steadily over the last couple of years. These relatively unknown devices also referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are used for a broad range of uses. For instance, it’s possible to take aerial photos using a drone where the use of airplanes proves uneconomical. Drones are also employed as gaming devices, to name a few.

The use of drones, however, calls for a certain level of expertise, and we hope after reading this article, you’ll be in a better position to better operate a drone.

Consider our drones for beginners’ tips for operating a drone particularly if you’re a beginner.

1. Identify the right type of device

As earlier mentioned, drones come in varying forms depending on their purpose. Consequently, you must first establish how you plan to use the drone, say for gaming or photography. Acquiring the right drone is vital to avoiding frustrations down the road.

Beginners may lack the required expertise and hence the need to state the importance of choosing a drone based on individual needs.

2. A DIY or RTF

Drones come in two types; Ready-to-Fly (RTF) and DIY. The former comes as an already assembled drone ready for immediate use while the latter comes in parts. For DIY, the buyer assembles the drone from the parts.

Understanding the upsides and downsides to each type of drone remains vital. For instance, you must have prior experience in assembling a drone or radio controlled devices. Otherwise, you may get stuck and fail to get your device up and running.

Thus, its essential understand how the two types of drones work before placing your order.

3. Practice

The use of UAVs proves an exhilarating experience, especially for beginners. However, before embarking on sophisticated activities such as photography, we suggest that you practice to run your drone first as much as possible.

For beginners, it’s best when they practice flying the drones at a low altitude and a slow pace during the initial stages of learning. After a few practice sessions, beginners can then gradually increase speed and height when flying the drones.

4. Have your spares ready always

Similar to other human-operated devices, drones are prone to breakdowns. We, therefore, advise current and prospective drone owners to own a repair kit for unforeseen eventualities. For DIY lovers, ensure that you always have an extra spare battery.

Also, store your devices appropriately particularly on travels to avoid breakages. Own a backpack or other easy to carry accessories for storage purposes.

5. Familiarize with existing regulations

Before flying your drone, we recommend that you acquaint yourself with any current laws that touch on flying devices. Some localities prohibit the operation of flying objects. To avert the possibility of spending money on a banned device, embark on minor research as to area laws.

Key takeaway

The use of drones is set to rise with each passing year as developers discover new ways to utilize them. Therefore, the uptake of drones will inevitably rise and hence the need to educate people on the best way to run the devices.
