Regardless of which drone you're currently using, some mistakes are applicable for all of us drone pilots and hopefully, with these tips, you will be able to completely avoid those mistakes.

1. The first mistake that most people do is flying their drone too far away. With all the new models that we keep seeing, both from DJI and their competitors, we keep seeing a flight distance of five six seven kilometers. So a lot of people are getting confused by that and they think it's fine to fly seven kilometers away from their home point. Which of course is not the case. I always encourage you guys to fly within your line of sight, but even then at one point the drone becomes so small, so tiny, that it's almost impossible to see. Imagine if you get that drone at seven kilometers away from you. You are completely unaware of all the obstacles that could be facing the drone. Or around the drone maybe a small power line, or a branch, or a tree, or a bird. Please fly within your line of sight and you'll be good to go.
   
   
   
2. The next mistake is flying at strong winds. When the wind is too strong, you will be experiencing a fly way. That basically means that no matter what you do, even after pressing return home button on the remote controller or entering sport mode and trying to fly manually back to your home point, you won't be able to return. Please use a weather forecast app just so you can make sure that the wind is not too strong. And if it's too strong, just don't fly.
   
   
   
3. Last but not least, one of the biggest mistakes that we see all the time is people use unnatural movements with the drone and it just doesn't look good. It doesn't look cinematic, and there's ways you can work around this. So one of the main things to do is actually bring down your gimbal pitch speed so when you first turn on your drone, I highly recommend taking that down to around 3 or maybe even 2. So once your gimbal speed is now slowed down, when you are following someone and you do want to bring down that gimbal, you can now. And it would be a lot more smoother. This is what makes footage looks sometimes a lot more cinematic than these horrible unnatural movements.
