How to play different types of remote-controlled drones?

Abstract: Different ages have different toys. Children play with remote-controlled planes, while adults play with drones. And they * * * have a common feature that they can fly! Generally, children's remote-controlled aircraft fly indoors or at low altitude, while adult drones generally have aerial photography function, which requires superb flying skills. When we fly a drone, we must register first, otherwise it is illegal to fly. Secondly, we should fly smoothly first, and then gradually increase the difficulty. At the same time, you need to master the relevant knowledge of flight, maintenance and photography. Let's take a look at the flying skills of drones! First, how to play all kinds of remote-controlled unmanned aircraft?

1, indoor type

Indoor type, relatively compact in appearance, mostly using infrared remote control. From the appearance, the remote control does not have a long remote control antenna. Generally, this kind of plane can't fly outdoors in strong sunshine and strong wind, so it's better to play in a relatively empty room indoors.

2. Outdoor style

There are also many stresses about flying outdoor remote-controlled aircraft. The first flight site should be empty, preferably away from houses, trees and water. It's best to have grass on the ground, not in crowded places, and not to have winds above level 3, let alone rainy days. When practicing flying, it is similar to an indoor aircraft. Practice flying to about one and a half meters first, and then practice keeping the plane at this height. The second channel often has an adjusting potentiometer on the nose, and a small screwdriver can be used. When you can do this skillfully, you can combine the left and right hand drill keys forward and backward to do various flying actions. Never give the remote control to a bystander, unless you teach him how to play it in detail, the plane will break down in nine cases out of ten.

3. Two channels

The two channels are relatively simple, and their main functions are ascending and descending, left hand and right hand.

4. Three channels

Three channels can realize ascending and descending, left and right hands, forward and backward. After the novice gets the plane, he should first be familiar with the function of the remote control key of the plane, pull the remote control handle first when the power switch is turned off, feel the feel of the remote control handle and carry out some simulation training.

5. Four channels

Four-channel helicopter can realize up and down (electronic governor), forward and backward (elevator), left and right steering and left and right translation (aileron steering gear).

Second, the flight skills of drones

1, "high cold" during flight.

If you want to take a good aerial photograph and fly freely, the first thing is to pay attention to safety and not to be brave. First of all, airport clearance protection areas, military restricted areas, politically sensitive areas and densely populated areas cannot fly; Don't fly if there is a temporary no-fly notice for major events.

Stay away from flying obstacles, metal buildings, radars and communication base stations, which are easy to interfere with the navigation signals of drones and may cause drones to "blow up" (crash).

Focus on flying and don't talk to bystanders. At the same time, we should also remind passers-by to stay away from flying drones and tell everyone that the power of propellers is amazing.

Our experience is that the higher the level, the more timid and cautious the flying hand is.

2. Start with taking pictures.

Shooting amazing works with drones requires flying skills and photographic knowledge, so the high-level aerial photography service of drones is expensive. But the good news is that taking still photos is relatively simple.

In recent years, digital image transmission and integrated camera have been popularized in consumer drones, and its operation interface is very close to the camera function of smart phones: you can see the framing picture in real time, adjust the exposure parameters, and control photography and video recording. Although the novice flight operation is still awkward, it is very simple to find a good angle and press the shutter like a mobile phone.

Aerial photos have been very attractive in the circle of friends, and accumulating photographic experience is also a preparation for recording aerial videos.

3. Limit speed and lighting.

Beginners should set some restrictions on the APP before going to heaven, such as limiting the flight speed, reducing the operational sensitivity and slowing down the pitch of the pan/tilt.

If the flight speed is too fast, the propeller is easy to wear, the steering speed is too fast or the pitching speed of the pan/tilt is too fast, which is easy to blur. Turn off the navigation lights when shooting at night to avoid light pollution.

4. Select the direction of forward or translation.

Drones fly in three-dimensional space, and novices are often in a hurry; The joystick stroke of the remote control is very short and light, and novices are prone to overexert (imagine driving, and hitting the steering wheel, throttle and brake to the end? )。

But in fact, aerial photography does not necessarily need to add so many stunts. After adjusting the orientation of the camera head, you can start recording, and then you can shoot natural aerial video just by pushing in one direction.

You can fly forward on the first flight, which is the simplest, with the lowest collision risk and good effect. You know, the aerial camera at the beginning of Speed ? ? and Passion 8 is just that. If it is not exciting enough, you can speed it up in the video editing software.

With a certain proficiency, you can try to fly sideways, and it is easier to push only to one side. But more attention should be paid to avoiding collision. It is best to ask a friend to help observe the distance between the drone and the obstacle.

5. Fly higher or lower.

Compared with other photographic equipment, the biggest feature of aerial drones is of course: flying! Therefore, the simplest way to show off in aerial photography is of course to fly higher. If you fly higher, you can see farther and take more magnificent photos, and you are less likely to hit obstacles.

For aerial photography, flying high is not the advantage of consumer drones. Flying high and fast is far from being driven. But the biggest advantage of drones is that they can fly close to the ground. Skimming at the height of the treetops can capture more details and be more exciting. However, flying close to the ground is more likely to hit an obstacle, so it is better to choose a suitable altitude.

6. The whole technical term: a mirror to the end.

It is unrealistic for Meng Xin to learn those advanced technologies or add too many special effects later. But there is a relatively simple skill, the "old driver", which is also useful: continuous shooting as soon as the camera is finished.

When new players use drones to take aerial photos of landscapes, they can start recording from the time of takeoff, climb forward obliquely after takeoff, and fly straight ahead at an appropriate height. There is no need to edit at all, and the scenery comes into view step by step.

It may be difficult to fly out of such a continuous route for the first time. Here's an easier way: lift the camera. Turn on the video when the lens is shooting vertically downward, and then use the wheel on the remote control to raise the angle. So you can start quickly with the coupe.

7. Try various auxiliary functions.

Nowadays, for the convenience of ordinary users, consumer drones often develop many simple and practical auxiliary functions, and novices can use these auxiliary functions to shoot many complicated actions.

Some UAVs have automatic tracking function, which can easily track moving targets after actual tracking, and the composition is satisfactory.

Most drones have automatic surround function, which can be used to shoot movies featuring themselves. However, it should be noted that these auxiliary functions have the risk of collision when used. Be sure to use them in open space.

8. wave goodbye at last

At the end of the aerial video, don't forget to say goodbye: shoot yourself at a relatively low altitude, let the surrounding synchronization wave to the sky together, and then press the joystick to climb and retreat at the same time.

If the scene on the ground is very characteristic, you can also choose vertical pull. When we wave to the sky together, we can take a very emotional shot and let our peers have a sense of participation.

9. Advanced: Practice flying skills.

If you want to shoot a more comfortable and smooth video, you need more skillful operation skills and become a real "old driver". You can choose to practice on the simulator, or you can choose to buy a smaller remote-controlled plane to practice at home. These small toys operate in a similar way to drones, but it will be more difficult to operate without a flight control system. It is more comfortable to fly a drone after practicing flying a toy plane.

10, there is no limit to learning.

My life is limited, but so is my knowledge. With restrictions, there is no restriction, and it is almost there!

The experience and skills of aerial photography can be finished in one or two articles, but most people don't have to be professional aerial photography directors, just want to see the world from another angle and record their lives from another angle. Then remember the precautions about flight safety and fly bravely! Traveling with your drone, you will take the most unforgettable works, and you will explore the experience that suits you during the flight.
