4.2 out of 5 stars 109 ratings
Drones: Mastering Flight Techniques is a complete guide to flying your drone. Created as a standalone book, it is also the natural follow on to the first book in the series Drones: The Professional Drone Pilot’s Manual and was designed to support and guide you as you build on your piloting experience.
Within Drones: Mastering Flight Techniques You will learn how to grow your confidence with proven and practised flight techniques that also add to and enhance your current skill-set. Within the book you will learn many flight and filming techniques, some industry specific but many that can be applied to multiple situations.There are step by step methods for the following:

Numerous "reveal" shot techniques.
General drone filming and photography methods.
How to film moving targets with examples.
Tried and tested methods for creating professional surveys, map making and 3D models- along with examples.
Racing drone flight techniques.

As well as a multitude of flight techniques there are also sections dedicated to good airman-ship, airworthiness, what to do in the event of a crash and weather conditions. The book also contains actual worked examples and finishes with some further tips and FAQs.

As UAV/Drone Pilots it is important that we fly safely at all times, this book was written with the hopes of not only increasing your skill as a drone pilot, but also to ensure that you get the most out of your drone. Have fun and fly responsibly.

Brian Halliday is a lifelong aircraft enthusiast and has been operating drones as a Commercial UAV Pilot for 5 years, maintaining, modifying and flying a wide range of UAVs. His main works include mapping natural areas and nature reserves in the name of conservation and maintenance and contributing to wildlife informational productions and projects.

    An excellent book for those who wish to hone their drone flying techniques,and with the increase in legislation regarding Drone flying then this book is a must. My only criticism is that the black & white pictures could be a little sharper.

    I've got to be honest I don't even remember ordering it and haven't a clue where it is on my computer, if it's even there at all, so there is a lot of 1s and 0s floating around out there looking for a home,

    I bought this book believing there were techniques that I didn't know about. I'm a seasoned beginner and was looking forward to improving my flying. The truth is I had already been practicing most of the authors recommendations. Obviously, the federal and local laws pertained to Australia while the references to certifications and this and that didn't apply in the U.S. I read this material in less than an hour.
