Inexpensive, capable, consumer drones have hit the market recently, creating what can only be described as drone mania amongst a diverse range of potential users. Because camera-carrying drones still really only exist on the edge between hobby and the mainstream, there is still a lot of confusion about what these small drones are capable of doing. The decision to purchase one is just the first in a long stream of things a new (potential) owner must think about. This book aims to answer these questions and be the definitive guide to aerial photography and videography using consumer drones. Topics in the book include equipment required, tips on how to get started, a pilot training tutorial, aerial imaging techniques, and post-shoot workflow. The drones used in the book are DJI Phantoms, which are by far the most mature and popular in their space, but all of the instruction will be presented so that any drone owner can easily follow along. Sample videos taken from a camera-carrying drone are included, as well as pre-flight checklists and worksheets for flight training. * Definitive guide to aerial imaging using consumer drones, with practical instruction and techniques for creating beautiful and engaging aerial photography and videography. * Part how-to and part inspiration, this guide covers it all—equipment required, tips on how to get started, a pilot training tutorial, aerial imaging techniques, and post-shoot workflow. * Author is sought out for his knowledge in aerial photography and has an insider perspective as the Director of Imaging at DJI, the popular drone maker. **The full text downloaded to your computer** With eBooks you can: * search for key concepts, words and phrases * make highlights and notes as you study * share your notes with friends **eBooks** are downloaded to your computer and accessible either offline through the Bookshelf (available as a free download), available online and also via the iPad and Android apps.
