How To
How To Fly Drones For Beginners
A drone can be used to fly remotely controlled aircraft for photography, surveillance, scientific research, hobby and commercial purposes. Drone technology has been around since World War II. DJI introduced their Phantom series of quadcopters in 2010, but commercial use only began in 2010. There have been many drones made since then. These range from beginner-friendly drones like Parrot AR Drone 2.0 to more advanced multi-rotor craft like DJI Mavic Pro.
There are many methods to fly a Drone, including
-
Remote control - This method uses a control device attached to your hand, which enables you to steer the drone through its flight path. There are two main types: Joysticks (like a radio), and On/Off switches (like an alarm clock).
-
Manual Control - Using a smartphone app, this method allows users to remotely operate the drone via GPS coordinates. The app will provide instructions and help you to locate the drone.
-
Autonomous flight - The drone takes over the piloting duties. It's basically flying autonomously without any human intervention. It must have a builtin camera, sensors capable of taking images and data to enable autonomous flight.
-
Triggered Flight - This method is similar to manual control, except the pilot manually sets up a preprogrammed route, and the drone follows that route until it reaches the endpoint. Once the programmed route has been completed, the drone returns to the base automatically.
