So, you've decided on the drone, but do you know how to fly it? Or where and when you can fly it? Perhaps you're itching to try some stunts or want to give your photography a whole new angle?
Soar into the sky with The Drone Pilot's Handbook. A comprehensive guide, it lays out the kinds of skills and techniques needed to fly and maintain a multicopter drone and gives tips for turning it for maximum performance. In addition, it provides a clear graphical guide to what the law (and common sense) will and won't allow and includes some inspirational images and shooting locations from around the world.
Broken down into manageable lessons and with cool, specially commissioned illustrations, this book is packed with expert advice, safety tips, handy ideas and URLs. This beautiful and clean approach is in stark and welcome contrast to the unwieldy, ugly online forums or PDF-manuals that drone manufacturers leave you grounded with, and will have you up, up and away in no time.
Adam Juniper has had a longstanding interest in consumer technology, having written his first gear review for a magazine before he was old enough to drive. He's written and edited dozens of books, especially on photography, drones and now the arrival of the digital assistant.
Obviously deep down he is yearning to say "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot" to the computer and be rewarded with the perfect refreshment, but for now he's putting his experience into identifying which of the tidal wave of "smart" gadgets are worth having by living the smart home dream in suburban London.
