In recent years, digital image transmission and integrated cameras have been widely used in consumer UAVs, and more and more aerial UAVs are serving for program recording and short video production; More and more ordinary people around have bought consumer grade aerial UAVs. Although the current consumer UAV operation is very simple, there is still a lot of knowledge to produce satisfactory aerial photography. Here are some super simple and practical aerial photography techniques.
1. Find the right place
Many place seem to be unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or excessive, which can produce great UAV photography themes. Therefore, the best suggestion is that you should not exclude anything unless you are in the air. In other words, eliminating Google Maps may be a good way to find places that can be photographed in the air, because you basically preview what you can capture.
Personally, I have found it successful to build a mini road trip around UAV photography. Go out of the city and explore. Take the scenic route. Keep your eyes in interesting positions and stop often. As with more traditional photography, time is also important. Shooting in prime time will make your UAV shooting look great, and the long shadows will look especially noticeable. But before you leave, don’t forget to check the weather forecast and make sure it doesn’t fly too much.
2.Keep calm when flying
If you want to take good aerial photography and enjoy flying, the first thing is to pay attention to safety and not show off. First of all, airport clearance reserves, military restricted areas, political sensitive areas and densely populated areas cannot be flown; Do not fly when there is a temporary no flight notice for major activities. Keep away from obstructions, metal buildings, radars and communication base stations during flight. Such places are likely to interfere with the navigation signal of the UAV and may lead to the crash of the UAV. Focus on the flight and don’t talk to the onlookers. At the same time, we should remind passers-by to stay away from UAVs in flight, and tell everyone that the power of propeller is amazing.
3. Limit the speed and light
Novice had to set some restrictions on the APP last day. The flight speed should be limited, the operation sensitivity should be lowered, and the pan tilt should be lowered. If the flight speed is too fast, the propeller is easy to help, and if the turning speed is too fast or the tilt speed of the PTZ is too fast, it is easy to blur. When shooting at night, turn off the navigation lights to avoid light pollution.
4. Select a direction to move forward or translate
When a UAV flies in three-dimensional space, novices are often in a hurry. The travel of the remote control lever is short and light, and novices are easy to use too much force (imagine driving a car, and the steering wheel, accelerator, and brake are all at the bottom.
But in fact, aerial photography does not necessarily need to add so many special effects. After adjusting the nose pointing, start recording, and then just push the stick in one direction to take a natural aerial video. After becoming more proficient, you can try to fly sideways. It is also relatively simple to just push the stick to the side. But more attention should be paid to avoiding collisions. It is better to ask friends to help you observe the distance between the UAV and the obstacles.
