What should I know about filming with drones?

Filming with drones enables aerial shots that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to capture.

Top tips for drone filming:

• Fly Smoothly: Avoid sudden movements. Use automated modes like Waypoints and ActiveTrack for stability.

• Adjust Camera Settings: Use manual controls, ND filters, and colour profiles like D-Log for quality footage.

• Plan Your Shots: Visualise flight paths and angles in advance; record before and after each shot for flexibility.

• Mind the Conditions: Check weather, lighting, and follow drone regulations. Avoid windy or stormy flights.

• Final Prep: Calibrate your gimbal, fly slowly, and shoot extra footage for better results in post-production.
