Flying with purpose

[UAVNV]

When you fly, do you have a flight plan prepared, or do you find youself flying around with no intended goal

I have found that it always helps me to have a flight plan, even before I started repairing them. I always had a plan when flying RC whether it be practicing TO&L, T&G, aerobatics, etc.

Now Im more limited to test flying than recreation, and I stick to a plan every flight.

Depends. Very generic question.

You can fly around to find shots, and you can do those exploratory flights with purpose as long as you follow some simple rules. Once I yaw too hard, or do anything too fast, I've broken a shot. In that sense, even without a specific goal, you can fly with purpose. Through that process I find shots I like, then reset, and refine them with subsequent batteries.

I think slow, purposeful movement is the most important thing to getting useable footage

Sometimes I fly just to fly. YMMV

Much of the time i pre prepare a flight plane useing DroneHarmony. I can think about the video shots and what i want to achieve
What story i want to tell with my video.

I fly purely to take photos but I do have a contingency plain if I come into any difficulties, where to land is my 1st goal. But again I fly around round just looking for that great shot, not found it yet....

I fly mine for fun. I build for a purpose, but I dont use them for their purposes. I enjoy the build more than the flying, especially until I figure out which part is the tree magnet.

Whatever I do, I fly mine on purpose.

1. For fun
2. Landscape aerial photography
3. 3D mapping (still learning how to do it)
4. For experimenting with multispectral images (I modified a gopro and use it with bandpass filters).
5. 360VR images
6. Experimenting with mounts for my modified gopro and a 360VR camera.
7. Mostly #1though, as I have a dayjob.

I fly just for fun, and to relax from this crazy world around me
