Drones entered aerial photography with a big bang. And they are here to stay. From casual hobby uses to more professional ones – drone photography<\/span> is one of the most popular applications<\/a><\/span> among multirotor users. Technically we’re talking about aerial system<\/b> – not just a drone: from avionics, sensors and a payload, ground station control, communication system to GPS – and so much more. To put it in a right term it’s a Unmanned Aircraft System UAS<\/a>.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u200bOne of the major trend that we see is that the largest market for UAV’s is film, photo and video. Drone Cinematography<\/font> has been around for several years now, and is rapidly becoming widespread<\/span>. Cameras mounted on drones can deliver shots where it was impossible to get before<\/span>, or you could capture using special cranes and stabilizing equipment or manned helicopter. High end camera drone gives filmmakers this definitive edge to take amazing shots.<\/p>\n

Drones recently become more readily available to the general public<\/span> and for a decent drone, much more affordable<\/span>! This not only means anyone can now get themselves a drone, but it gives everyone the opportunity to get behind your controller and pilot your drone, shoot your own beautiful pictures and maybe if you’re feeling really confident, attempt to get some breathtaking videos to show off to everyone!<\/p>\n

No matter whom you are, from casual beginner<\/span>, looking to create a few great shots for the family album, to a downright professional<\/span>, working on a project or looking for some new information! You’ll find usefull advices about drone photography and more right here!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Types of Drones<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

When we talk about drones, it includes everything from UAV\u2019s used by the military to the multi-rotor devices we use for aerial photography! There are three main categories that drone\u2019s fall under<\/span>:<\/p>\n

Fixed-Wing Drones<\/h3>\n

Similar in design to modern day airplanes, fixed-wing drones started operating at the beginning of the 20th Century. These could be considered the beginning of the whole aviation industry. Fixed-wing drones consist of a rigid wing placed across the top of the body and they continuously move forward due to the turn of a propeller<\/span>. With a simple structure, this drone\/UAV represents minimal risks of mechanical failure<\/span>. As well as minimal mechanical failure, the simple design of these drones results in efficient aerodynamics allowing extended flight duration at higher speeds.\u200b<\/p>\n

\u200bRotary-Wing Drones<\/h3>\n

\u200bThis category of a drone is the smallest of all. Similar in design to that of modern day helicopters, a single propeller<\/span>, usually positioned on the top of the drone<\/span> allows them to remain steadily airborne. Other than this propeller, there are usually no other moving parts on the frame of this type of drone. These drones are not overly common outdoors due to their limited forward speed and high sensitivity to wind and nature.<\/p>\n

\u200bMulti-Rotor Drones<\/h3>\n

\u200bThese are the drones we now think about when someone mentions \u2018drones.’ This category of drones is the largest one<\/span>. There are a number of different rotary-wing drones, such as; bicopter<\/span> (two motors), tricopter<\/span> (three motors), quadcopter<\/span> (four motors) as well as hexacopters<\/span> and octocopters<\/span> (six and eight motors retrospectively).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The most frequently used type of multi-rotor drones found in the modern day is the quadcopter<\/span>, used within the photography industry as the drone of choice by such places as Meadows Farm Studios<\/a> and other aerial photography studios.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If you haven\u2019t already acquired your own drone, then it\u2019s best to think of a few things before making your first purchase.<\/p>\n
