Read the drone manual<\/h2>\n<p>This might sound simple, but a lot of people don\u2019t take the time to learn about the drone they are flying before they take it out to shoot. It\u2019s important to watch videos and read the complete set-up instructions in your manual. Take time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-fly-a-drone-a-beginners-guide\/\">practice flying<\/a> in a secluded field or open area away from people, buildings, or obstacles. Learn the basics of flight before you actually go out and fly. It will result in much better and safer flying and will save you from any accidents.<\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Update your drone consistently&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Drone software updates are critically important in improving your drone\u2019s flight time and performance. It\u2019s a lot like a smartphone update \u2014 we all know if you lag behind in software updates, it lowers the phone performance. The same goes for a drone, except neglecting to update software could result in your drone crashing and possibly causing a safety concern if it lands wrongly. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time before a flight to check and update any for new software editions.<\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Acquire the necessary permits and licenses<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of your plans to fly recreationally or commercially, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Small UAS Rule (Part 107) now requires all drone users to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/uas\/getting_started\/register_drone\/\">register<\/a> their drones in their system for a small $5 fee. Any person caught flying with an unregistered drone could face serious fines.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to registering your drone, if you plan to fly commercially, you must apply for and pass the exam for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/uas\/commercial_operators\/become_a_drone_pilot\/\">Remote Pilot Certificate<\/a>. There is a $160 fee involved and the certificate must be renewed every two years.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, even if you have your Remote Pilot Certificate if you plan to fly for a project in an area, check to be sure that the area doesn\u2019t require a specific permit for commercial aerial photography. Most cities, state and national parks, or event spaces require a permit for commercial drone photography.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, flying legally, especially commercially, can take time, effort, and money. It\u2019s best to get the permits and licenses needed to stay legal and in good standing to avoid any possible penalties or fees.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_66609\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66609\" style=\"width: 899px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-66609 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-flying-winter-landscape-photography.jpg\" alt=\"drone flying over winter landscape with snow, trees, and car\" width=\"899\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-flying-winter-landscape-photography.jpg 899w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-flying-winter-landscape-photography-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-flying-winter-landscape-photography-767x1024.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-flying-winter-landscape-photography-37x50.jpg 37w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 899px) 100vw, 899px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-66609\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Erik Odiin on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>4. Do your research<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>This is another simple tip that even the most seasoned drone pilots need to remember. It\u2019s important to do your research in any new area, city, state, or country you visit. You must know the specific drone rules and regulations in each place. Some places don\u2019t have \u201cno drone flying\u201d signs but don\u2019t allow flying. In some countries around the world, bringing a drone into the country is completely illegal and you can face serious penalties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>5. Learn the drone laws and regulations<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Similar to tip #4, remember to never fly in places where drone flying is illegal.&nbsp;If you are found flying where banned, you could face substantial fines or prison time, even in the United States. It&#8217;s also incredibly easy to be caught flying illegally as a content creator. Finally, brands or clients you partner with would see your drone work. You don&#8217;t want to face dropped contracts because you didn&#8217;t follow the drone laws.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_66608\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66608\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-66608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-photo-forest-trees-landscape-photography.jpg\" alt=\"drone flying over forest and trees\" width=\"1200\" height=\"674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-photo-forest-trees-landscape-photography.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-photo-forest-trees-landscape-photography-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-photo-forest-trees-landscape-photography-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-photo-forest-trees-landscape-photography-50x28.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-66608\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Rog Shafi on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>6. Don\u2019t fly around crowds<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>This is pretty simple, but unless you have a permit to do so, it\u2019s important to not fly around crowds. Not only for privacy issues, but because a possible drone crash could cause serious harm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>7. Don\u2019t fly near private property<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Again, if you don\u2019t have a permit or permission to do so, don\u2019t fly around private property. Not only could authorities be alerted, but you could put you, the property owner, and your drone in danger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>8. Always ask for permission<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Another important tip for good drone etiquette is to always ask people around if it&#8217;s OK for you to fly. Even if you have all the correct permits and licenses, it&#8217;s courtesy to make people aware that you\u2019ll be launching a drone. Whether it\u2019s a public space or a backcountry campsite area, communication goes a long way. Even a small heads up can make the difference. Asking for permission can help as well, and simply approaching people and asking for consent is the proper way to fly.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_66610\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66610\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-66610\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-flying-sky-drone-etiquette.jpg\" alt=\"drone flying in sky\" width=\"1200\" height=\"745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-flying-sky-drone-etiquette.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-flying-sky-drone-etiquette-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-flying-sky-drone-etiquette-1024x636.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/drone-flying-sky-drone-etiquette-50x31.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-66610\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Suganth on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>9. Always avoid disaster areas<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s important to <em>never<\/em> fly near disaster zones or areas. Your drone, while small, can interfere with Air Evac rescue missions and distract first responder crews that are dealing with potentially dangerous and deadly situations. No matter if it&#8217;s a wildfire, flood, or post-hurricane, don\u2019t fly your drone in these areas. Your footage is not worth placing first responders, victims, and bystanders at risk.<\/p>\n<h2><b>10. Fly safe<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Finally, remember above all: Fly safe. Never fly a drone while under the influence, or without having the knowledge and permits to do so.
