Stability factor

Stability is an important factor when buying a drone. This is especially true if your goal is to take aerial photos or video. Your images will look better if your drone can be stabilized. A gimbal is one way to improve drone stability. Listed below are some tips to help you decide which drone is best for you. Stability is the key to better photos and videos.

Range

While it's nice to fly your drone, it can also lose its signal if it flies too far out of range. The drone can also be thrown out of control by weather conditions, such as strong winds or sudden drops of rain. Luckily, there are several preventative measures that you can take to ensure that your drone remains within its range. First, update the firmware on your controller or transmitter according to the CE's and FCC's recommended ranges. Next, you can upgrade your receiver or antenna extender. Regardless, you should not leave this important decision up to chance.


Camera

It is important to know your goals before purchasing a drone with a camcorder. You can use the footage for your business promotion or social media presence. It's tempting just to buy a drone for fun. But you should make sure you get something of value. It is vital to have a camera for aerial photography. Spend some time learning how it works. Even if you have taken a few photos of amazing locations, you may want to purchase a professional-grade camera.

How Do I Clean My Drone?

These are some tips to help you clean your drone. This guide will teach you how to extract every bit from your drone.

  1. Make sure you have the right tools. Be sure to have everything you require before you begin any task. You'll need a soft brush (or a toothbrush) and cleaning solution (we recommend WD40)
  2. The battery pack should be removed. First, take out the battery. The battery is usually located under the propeller. Don't be alarmed if it's not obvious. Ensure that you don't lose any screws when removing the propeller.
  3. Remove all components. Next, carefully remove all the parts from under the drone. Check that none of them are loose, as they may fall off when you try to clean the machine.
  4. Use a cleaning product. Now, clean your drone. Before doing so, we recommend using a cleaning solution such as WD40. Simply spray the entire surface of your drone with the cleaner, making sure to get in between each component. Let it dry completely before you put everything back together.
  5. Replace the battery. It's crucial to place the battery after you have cleaned your drone. By doing this, you can test how well your drone functions after cleaning.
