What will I learn?

You will start with drone hardware, flight physics, and battery management, then move into airspace regulations and pre-flight risk assessment. From there, you will develop precise piloting skills and learn to configure camera and gimbal systems for sharp, stable footage. The course covers aerial composition, cinematic shot types, and full mission planning from site survey to debrief. You will also work through post-production workflows including colour grading, video editing, and professional file delivery. Specialty modules cover real estate photography, night operations, photogrammetry, and event coverage. By the end, you will know how to price your services, write contracts, build a portfolio, and grow a sustainable drone photography business.
