| Summary: | Learn to master your drone--the gear, the technique, the photography, the video--and create jaw-dropping visuals! Over the last few years, drones and quadcopters have become the hottest new gear in photography, whether you're a professional photographer or an amateur shooter. These "flying tripods" have given photographers the ability to place their cameras virtually anywhere they want, creating still images and video footage that was previously impossible to capture. Many photographers have a drone or quadcopter right at the top of their "I want" list. And many others have already purchased a drone but haven't mastered its use yet. No matter what model you may own--whether that's a popular Mavic, Mini, Air, or Phantom from DJI, or another brand--you need to learn how to put this new gear to good use in your aerial photography. You need to learn how to safely operate and fly a drone, how to create compelling photos and video, and how to make your work stand out from the crowd.
