186 - Becoming A Pro Drone Operator with Alexander Mills

Be educated. Before flying your drone, make sure you understand the rules for the country and region you're playing in. Knowing basic laws about airspace and using common sense when choosing where you fly will help keep everyone safe, and your drone intact.

The government sees almost no drone flying as recreational, even though you might. As soon as you're flying a drone with a camera attached the government views it as a commercial flight because you could film, create a video, post that video on YouTube and the video could be monetized. Even if this isn't your intention, because of the possibility of monetization, your flight could be categorized as commercial flying.

Fly slower. Create a cinematic feel by flying slow enough to allow the scene to unfold rather than creating scenes that feel rushed.
