EG ‘this model usually has a longer flight time than that one’, ‘this drone is likely to have a stronger drone-to-controller signal than that one’. And there are numerous reasons why signal interference can occur. Maximum flight distances are often spruiked but should be ignored because in Australia, same as in most countries, it is only legal for a drone pilot to fly their drone as far as they can see it with their own eyes, unaided (‘VLOS’). A manufacturer’s listing of a flight time of 47 minutes does not mean you’ll be flying that drone for 47 minutes. There is of course a big difference between the real world and a manufacturer testing a drone’s flight time and distance in perfect conditions (no wind or signal interference, at sea level, temperature in low 20s C, flying in a power-efficient manner). DO: take listed capabilities only as a guide for comparing between models.Actual output and performance! These days many phone & drone manufacturers talk up hardware specs including sensor size but they cut hardware quality corners and rely on software to correct imperfections. Many bang on about specs instead of examining end results. Or fall for the common assumption that because a lens carries the brand name of a traditionally expensive camera manufacturer it automatically produces better images than the rest. EG, the difference between optical and digital zoom or what shifting from Lightbridge to Occusync may mean, in terms of usability. DON’T get hung up on spec sheets, without understanding what the specs actually mean.Do they understand the needs of small business owners or are they just flying recreationally, and with more spare time than you have? And do they realise that a professional can get good results from basic tools – IE spending a lot doesn’t = better results, if the operator isn’t up to speed. Do they have sound knowledge of professional-standard photography requirements (what drone features will make a real difference to what you create, and what don’t matter). EG they are unaware of the challenges involved in rural & remote Australia (from ultra-fine dust to temperatures regularly above 40c, winter below freezing, humidity above 80%, long distances from mobile phone reception and slow upload/download speeds). Your specific aims, requirements, circumstances and budget may be completely different. Are only familiar with their own circumstances, not yours.Have only flown one or two drones and this is what they recommend for you.Traps to be aware of often drone owners offering opinions: Incomplete and inaccurate information is rife so I’ve written a comprehensive, independent summary.
