11-Steps of Drone Filming :

1. Choosing the Right Drone: Select the appropriate type based on your filming requirements. For slow-motion filming, increase the frames per second (FPS). In areas with strong winds, choose a model suitable for those conditions. Image resolution also varies by camera type, as some cameras support up to 2K while others go up to 4K.
2. Planning the Filming Location: Study the site and select suitable angles while considering weather conditions such as temperature, wind speed, or rain.
3. Preparing the Equipment: Charge the batteries, mount the cameras, and adjust the settings. Note that flight time varies depending on the drone model, wind speed, and flight mode (e.g., sport mode or normal mode). In any case, a filming session usually lasts between 15 and 40 minutes before the drone must land to replace the battery. Drones typically come with two or three batteries depending on the model.
4. Executing the Filming: Operate the drone and capture photos and videos according to the planned schedule. Filming is usually done in video format, from which still shots can also be extracted.
5. Data Analysis: Review the footage after transferring it to devices, select the best shots, and prepare them for editing.
