FAQ

1What value do I get from this class?
Flying with Cameras is a full suite learning experience that consists of both classroom and hands on time. During LEVEL 1, our class allows for beginners to get an understanding of basic photography and cinematography skills when flying a drone. In LEVEL 2, we focus on advanced concepts including but not limited to hyperlapse and complex camera movements. Unlike other classes we don't teach you how to fly a drone, rather how to move a drone and the purpose behind its movement.

Yes, we highly recommend that you already be familiar with how to fly a DJI drone. This will give you the most value out of the hands on experience.
