I love my drones!

I used to use them purely for filming footage to go in my videos over on my YouTube Channel, but over the last few months I’ve been using them more and more for photography too.

The compositions that can be achieved are completely unique and without the ability to get in the air, would quite literally be out of reach.

With the Drone Laws that now exist, I’ve studied and taken exams to give me qualifications I need to fly what I have, where I want to fly it.

I know the law surrounding use of Drones. I have Insurance. I fly VERY responsibly.

But to do so, i’m addition to the checks I carry out before flying, what do I actually take with me for each flight to ensure (as best I can) that it’s both safe AND successful?

Well, here’s a short (one minute) video I put together to show what I take along…

And here’s a breakdown of everything …

VERY Bright LED Lights ( LINK )
Spare Prop Blades ( I always get the ‘Fly More’ Combo )
Lens Cloth
LiPo Safety Bags for Spare Batteries ( LINK )
DJI RC Pro Controller ( LINK )
Anemometer ( For Checking Windspeed ) ( LINK )
DJI ND Filters
Fire Blanket ( LINK )
Fire Extinguisher ( For LiPo Battery Fires )
Pre Flight Checklist / Insurance and Drone Law ( I compiled this , Printed and Laminated it )
Take Off / Landing Pad ( LINK )

Here too, is the Pre Flight Checklist that I put together; the contents of which are not exhausitve, but the most obvious to check and be aware of …

If you have any questions, would like to see what I have on my pre-flight checklist, then let me know and I’ll share that here or even make it downloadable.

Safe flying,
Glyn
