How To

How to Fly Drones With Beginners

A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle that can be remotely controlled and used for surveillance, aerial photography, film production, research, and other hobby purposes. Drone technology has existed since World War II. However, commercial use began in 2010 when DJI released their Phantom series of quadcopters. There have been many types of drones since then, including beginner-friendly drones like the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 and professional-grade multi-rotor crafts like the DJI Mavic Pro.

There are many ways to fly a drone.
