How To
How to Fly Drones for Beginners
A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle that can be remotely controlled and used for surveillance, aerial photography, film production, research, and other hobby 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. Since then, there have been many different types of drones available, from beginner-friendly models like the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 to professional-grade multi-rotor craft like the DJI Mavic Pro.
You can fly a drone in many different ways, including:
-
