From diving views to the most exciting selfie videos ever, a drone can capture everything. The advice in this aerial video tips article will help make your footage soar to new heights.
Get That Film Appearance
The initial setting to set is frame time: 30 frames/second looks like reality TV, while 24 fps resembles a Hollywood feature — put to 24. You typically need to take in 4K, which will catch the tiniest features and provide you the adaptability to crop the frame while editing.
For action shots, select for 1080p at 60 or even 120 fps, so it is possible to slow down the footage afterward.

Get The Right Light
Do you know how you always look hot with gentle light but resemble a troll under bright rays? The same thing refers to drone video.
Recording at “golden hour” (just before sunset) or first light (just after sunrise) gives you dramatic contrast with shadows which help bring out detail. The colors also tend to be relaxing and warm, making a captivating feel.

Prevent The Blades From Showing Up In Video
During a wonderful flying shot, the drone leaned a bit too much and its revolving blades appeared into the frame, breaking the magic. Here is an aerial video tips trick to prevent this!
Fly the drone to the exact point you want the shot to complete, then fly back and reverse the movie when you edit. However, if you find tell-tale moving objects (people, birds) from the framework, perhaps crop the rotors out.
Use A Filter
To keep the motion in the scene as natural as, adjust the shutter rate at double the frame rate; if you are recording at 24 fps, your shutter speed must be 1/50 of a second. Now if that allows in too much light, add a neutral density filter to your camera. These inexpensive accessories control light and make slower shutter speeds attainable.

Allow The Drone To Fly Itself
Latest drones come with preprogrammed smart flight modes. These involve a “dronie,” in which the camera floats backward while aiming at you. Or try more superior shots such as orbit, where the craft circles a motionless object while having the camera looked at it. Some drones can even monitor fast-moving points, so you can have it support your epic bike ride.
Get Right Angle or Perspective
Having a unique perspective is what will separate your drone video from something you can shoot with a Smartphone. Search for events where you can fly, say, by a doorway or stone arch, then high into the sky in a continued shot. Jaws will drop.
Just make sure you never fly overcrowded areas, or where drones are off-limits. Always follow the FAA guidelines for flying your drone such as away from crowded areas, away from airports, and not too high to interfere with airplanes.
Using these basic aerial video tips should enhance what you capture up in the sky and hopefully amaze your audience.
