A Tutorial on Using Drone Accessories in Australia for Photography

Posted by Camera Warehouse on October 14th, 2019

With so many drone accessories in Australia you be wondering—which ones do you really need? Which ones are truly worth the money? Some drone add-ons, parts, and technology are designed to help you shoot better aerial images while others are supposed to make flying drones easier. Here's a list essential items and their uses.

1. FPV system and goggles

Want to make sure that your framing is on point? Then invest in an FPV system. This accessory gives you a first-person point of view from the drone. In other words, you will see what the camera sees through the live video feed that is broadcasted on the FPV goggles you are wearing. With this accessory, you will feel like you are flying in an actual cockpit. Some FPV system and goggles even help you fly the drone with more ease with their head tracking feature, prompting the camera to move to the direction and angle you want following the motions of your head.

2. Gimbal

You may have the best drone camera with the highest resolution and most advanced features, but without a gimbal system, capturing perfectly still aerial photos would be impossible—especially if the drone is flying a hundred feet above. To prevent auxiliary motion and vibrations from ruining your images, use gimbals. They cancel these motions and neutralise vibrations. They ensure that the camera is hovering stably so that your images aren't shaky or blur.

3. Drone cases or bags

If you want to take your aerial photography to the next level, you can't keep flying your drones in your backyard. You have to go to places such as mountaintops and beaches to discover more beautiful landscapes. To safely transport your drone and your drone accessories in Australia, you will need a case or bag that's specifically designed for them. The best drone bags are ergonomic, easy to carry, and provides optimum protection for all the delicate equipment. If you like travelling to extremely rugged conditions, then having an impact-proof, water-proof hard case would be a great idea.

4. Propellers and propeller guards

Drone propellers are fragile things that can sometimes cause injury. It best to have propeller guards to protect them and also yourself from harm. Having extra propellers during a shoot is also wise. This way, if the propeller guards also break due to crash, you can still continue shooting.
