Plenty of people start the New Year by making a change, taking on a challenge or giving something up. Running, eating less cheese, that kind of thing.

Here are five simple steps to help get you started.

Choose a drone

If you want to be a drone pilot, you’re going to need a drone. But choosing one is a big and often quite expensive decision.

You have two sensible options. First, you can find yourself a cheap model, something more toy than aerial camera. You could start by learning the controls and working out the basics, without risking an expensive crash.

But there are a couple of obvious drawbacks. Although your cheap model will most likely have a camera, you can bet that the quality won’t be that good, and that you won’t be able to appreciate the full potential of drone photos and videos.

There’s also a chance that buying a small, unstable drone to start with will actually put you off for good. More often than not, you get what you pay for in this business. Cheap drones can actually be more challenging to fly because they don’t have the sensors and safety features that come as standard if you are willing to pay more.

So we’d recommend starting off with an entry-level drone from a leading manufacturer like DJI. Both the DJI Spark and Mavic Air are small and portable but still powerful enough to have plenty of safety features and decent camera quality.
