Did you get a DJI Drone for Christmas? Please see my 3 tips for safe flying

A big thank you to everybody who ordered a DJI Drone from me this Christmas. Please see these three tips so your first flight is as amazing as you've imagined it!

1. Inspect your aircraft and batteries

Before you head out to fly, make sure that the batteries in your remote controller and aircraft including any spares are all fully charged. When you are flying regularly check the battery level indicator on your screen.


2. Calibrate your compass before taking off

Before you take off from a new site calibrate your compass. Each location has slightly different electromagnetic profiles and for best performance and most accurate positioning, you should calibrate for each specific location. Your take off position will then automatically be recorded as the Home Point and you will be able to use the Return to Home button any time you feel it's time to land.

3. Fly in open, outdoor areas

Always choose a wide open area for every flight, well away from people and property. Head out to a large field or similar open space, with no or few trees and buildings. This way, you can more easily focus on flying and start to build up your skills.

Many thanks for reading and enjoy your flying.
