Description

Inexpensive consumer drones that offer ease of flight and high-quality photography and videography have exploded on the market recently, creating what can only be described as drone mania amongst a diverse range of potential users. Because camera-carrying drones still really only exist on the edge between hobby and the mainstream, there is still a lot of confusion about what these small drones are capable of doing. The decision to purchase one is just the first in a long stream of things a new owner must think about. Aerial Photography and Videography Using Drones is designed to help you make the most of the opportunities these nimble, affordable, and accessible flying machines have created for aerial photography and videography. Within this definitive guide, you’ll learn about the following: • the current state of camera drone equipment • how to become a competent drone operator • tips for getting the best aerial still images and videos • stories from aerial photographers and videographers from around the world • the current regulatory state for drone usage in the U.S. • techniques demonstrated in several videos you can download from peachpit.com, along with pre-flight checklists and worksheets for flight training.

    • Great technical resource. Concise, well-written. Beautiful pictures you simply can't get with an airplane or helicopter.
The best book about using drones for aerial imaging…aka taking pictures from the sky! Eric Cheng is both a techno-wizard and creative artist, turns out he writes well too. This book is good news for DJI Phantom and Inspire owners. Even though Eric goes to great lengths to display even-handedness to other drone manufacturers (Parrot, 3DR, Yuneec), most of us are DJI customers and Eric gives very specific advice and examples as if the audience is using a DJI product. Note: You are still going to need to read the User Manual for your drone as well as visit the FAA’s Know Before You Fly website, but once you do, this book will get you started making dope YouTube videos and perhaps a flyover clip of a property for a real estate listing. Don’t accept money for your videos though, at least in the US. For that, as Eric details in his section on current regulation, you’ll need to ask the FAA for special permission. Like I said, best book in the space. ... show more

    • A must read for aerial photography
This is quite simply a must read for anyone serious about getting the most out of their drones and using them for photography or videography. Full of useful information and the flying exercises are an absolute must. If I had to be critical of this book it would have to be the fact that in regard to regulations most of the info on that has little use for those that are not based or do not plan to use a drone in the USA. The chapters regarding this matter are mostly or even only about US regulations.Much of the info can be applied to other places such as taking care in proximity to airports etc. But this is a small gripe. Also I would have liked to get more info on the images that are in the book, it would have been nice to know more detailed information regarding conditions, weather, lightlevels etc. But again this is just nitpicking on my part. Overall this is a must read for every drone shooter that wants the most out of every flight and wants to fly safely and take good care of their equipment. ... show more

    • Great Introduction to Aerial Photography and Videography Using Drones
This is a great book for those new to drones and aerial photography and videography. In fact, I can't think of a better introductory book. Unfortunately, I purchased the book expecting a more advanced discussion of aerial photography and videography. Instead, much of the book focuses on such fundamentals as how to select and fly a drone as well as a description of the individual components (drone, controller, gimbal, camera, batteries, etc.) IMHO, this book is likely too basic for anyone with even modest drone experience. However, again, if you're new to drones, this is a great introduction. ... show more

    • Excellent overview of Drone Videography and more
Excellent overview of Drone Videography and more. This equipment used is rapidly changing, so it is not a complete overview of equipment available, and it is important to recognize that the author may have a relationship with DJI. Otherwise, if you have an interest in how it is done professionally and what you can realistically expect from a drone with a camera mounted on it, this is a terrific resource. There are many good pictures and examples in the book, but you can also view video examples on the author's website. ... show more

    • This book can be your drone operator handbook
Review Image by Oleksandr Shulha Oleksandr Shulha
Great book! Although I already have experience flying and shooting with a quadrocopter, but it was more like training. In order to be able to show your photos and videos to friends or other people, you need good quality shooting and editing. And also good music and script. In the book everything is described and examples of photographs of the author are given. It is also interesting that the introduction to the book was written by Adam Savage himself, known as Mythsbusters co-host. I recommend to read this book. You'll do not waste the time and money. Learn a lot of useful things. And the book can be your drone operator handbook. Thanks the author! ... show more

    • Nice info, good tips and gorgeous photos
I enjoyed Eric's book quite a bit although I am familiar with most the photography and videography info. It's funny, the first person I saw flying a Phantom was Eric himself, in Santa Cruz, over 2 years ago. In a way, he got me in to the hobby. I liked the stories and examples of great shots all over the world quite a bit and thought that over all there is a good balance in what's presented. Of course all the specific parts about actual drones will become obsolete soon, but no doubt there will be an updated version every so often. ... show more

Thank for your book, being a first time drone owner. After reading your book, it inspired me of things that I can add to my business portfolio. I am particularly interested in the concept of Chapter 5, to capture the breathtaking shots of my beautiful Island and probably printing a book with a difference perspective of my island, "From the sky". You have truly inspired me to do this. Hope to purchase more of your books to guide my path into my new life of Aerial Photography. Truly remarkable work and have been a fun watching Myth Busters. ... show more

    • Good basic info but outdated technology.
The book has good exercises for learning to fly a sUAS. Basic good info but technology is very outdated. Sone really good tips for photography and video and the accessible videos are really nice. It’s really overpriced for a Kindle book.
