2 What is Drone? Originally Drones were developed and used by the military and used for reconnaissance, targe<ng, combat and logis<cs. The official name is Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) which includes all forms of pilotless crae adopted by the US DoD and FAA. The UAV is controlled from the ground by a pilot via radio control.

Professional grade UAV for Photography & Videography require addi<onal power/lie capacity

3 Commercial UAV for Photography & Videography are also commonly called Quadcopters based on the use of 4 motors/propellers that give a stable planorm. Professional grade UAV for Photography & Videography require addi<onal power/lie capacity due to the heavier cameras and longer dura<on baperies, these use 6 or 8 motors/propellers and are call Hexacopter and Octocopter.

17 INTERACTIVE FLIGHT SIMULATOR PracOce flying and perfect your skills anywhere. The included flight simulator gives you the lifelike experience of flying your Phantom 3 in a safe, controlled virtual environment.

18 Before You Fly Pre-Flight check Safety First. Check GPS signal strength. Calibrate the Compass at each new loca<on: Set new Home point for the loca<on. Set Return to Home height for the loca<on. Verify that there are no overhead lines or obstruc<on in the area

19 Weather CondiOons Check the weather forecast for the loca<on ahead of <me and before you fly. Important: Check the wind speed at flying al<tude as this can be drama<cally lower on the ground (look at the cloud and tree movement). Ideally fly when the wind speed is below 10 mph (dependent on drone and pilot limits). Be cau<ous of gusty wind condi<ons. Do not fly in rain and snow.

22 Automated FuncOons

23 Intelligent Flight Modes Waypoints: Record a flight path, then tell your Phantom 3 to fly along the same path repeatedly while you control the camera and orientation. Point of Interest: Tell your Phantom 3 to automatically revolve around a designated object in a perfect circle. Follow Me: Tell your Phantom 3 to follow you, and it automatically flies and keeps you in the camera's view wherever you go. Home Lock: Customize your flight controls to be relative to you at all times. Flick a switch, and flight will be set in relation to the Home Point.# Course Lock: Easily fly along a set path by putting your platform into Course Lock, which sets all flight controls to directions relative to its current heading

24 A Different PerspecOve The next series of photography's have been compiled to demonstrate how a drone can give a different perspec<ve on a subject compared to the normal image captured from ground level. The subject for the images is the water fall and bridge. Normal perspec<ve taken with iphone camera from the river bank:

25 Ground Level Perspec<ve closer to the falls to increases it presence in the shot without gekng your feet wet.

26 1 Meter higher perspec<ve level with the bridge and you can see the full width and increased depth of the falls.

27 3 Meters high gives increased perspec<ve of the falls.

28 12 Meters high perspec<ve give greater depth to the falls and bridge.

29 14 Meters high perspec<ve and looking down gives a birds eye view of the falls and bridge

30 21 Meter high perspec<ve gives a wider birds eye view, slight rota<on gives a different leading lines.

31 32 Meter perspec<ve gives a wider view but the subject maper is star<ng to be lost.

32 1 Meter Close-up perspec<ve of the falls to increases it presence in the shot.

33 4 Meter Close-up birds eye perspec<ve focused on the white water of the falls.
