- Check your local weather first to see if the conditions are favorable to fly. If there is rain on the way, there’s no reason to risk damage to your drone.
- Ensure that all of your batteries are charged and in good condition.
- Check your controller, monitor, and/or other devices such as your iPhone, tablet, phone, or iPad to make sure they’re fully charged. Take any appropriate car charges with you for emergencies.
- Make sure there are no flight restrictions or no-fly zones in the area you want to fly. Use the B4UFLY app and check for any temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) currently in effect by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
- Give your drone a quick look, make sure there is no physical damage.
- Take spare parts with you, such as propellers, guards, chargers, etc. Did I mention extra BATTERIES?!
- Double check your firmware. Make sure there hasn’t been a recent update before heading out.
- Remember to bring enough Micro SD cards (with enough memory) to film more than enough footage for your project. Also check your cards for proper ratings and correct formats.
