How to Get the Most Out
of Your GoPro, iPhone, or
Drone in Aerial
Photography

Before the invention of drones, aerial images and movies were taken
from planes or helicopters. This procedure used to be time-consuming
and costly. This entire procedure has grown easier and more
inexpensive since the introduction of drones. GoPro cameras give
great image quality with the highest resolution and are consequently
favored by action photography lovers above their market competitors.
However, it is critical to understand which drones are and are not
compatible with your GoPro. Take these nine recommendations with
you on your road to drone photography, from selecting a setup to postprocessing
photos:

Use A Fast Shutter Speed

acquire a crisp shot while in the air, I needed to shoot
at 1/500 or 1/1000 of a second or quicker. I was lucky to
start the day with a couple of images at 1/80 that went
out perfect; I'll credit those to the IBS on the Sony a7R
IV and a stroke of luck. What settings you may utilize
will also be determined by the aerial platform you are
shooting from. If you're in a 150-mph plane instead of a
slow-moving helicopter, you could get away a little
slower than I did. Shutter speed will also aid with
airplane vibrations, which leads me to my next point.
