So with the DJI Air 3 and Mini 4 Pro in the bag (Sorry Mini 4 Pro, today was not your day!) we head out to Silbury Hill in Wiltshire and along the way I run through what I do when planning a drone shoot.
Not a natural ‘prepper’? Neither am I, but these tips have really helped with my drone flights, and I’m happy to share them with you…
It’s easy to just go out and fly your drone, but if you want to get a specific set of shots and time is a factor then it’s worth following the 7Ps principle : Prior Preparation and Planning Prevents P*ss Poor Performance.
The results are at the end, so make sure you watch the entire video to see the fun micro-documentary that gets produced from all the planning (facts in the documentary are for comic effect – please don’t quote them in your History exam 🤣).
Links for the various Apps can be found on the Google Play or Apple App Stores.
Just search up : ‘UAV Forecast’ and ‘Drone Assist’ By Altitude Angel.
Also on the web :
Other useful apps are (currently UK only) and Wordle….
Yes I know Wordle isn’t anything to do with this video, but I like it.
Does anyone actually read this stuff by the way or am I p*ssing in the wind here? 🤣 If you do, please leave a comment and let me know! 😉
